What is a 'Clothing Size'?

What constitutes a 'dress or jean size'?

With so much confusion and variance between clothing sizes in the UK, you're probably wondering what we mean when we guarantee YOU a 'drop in dress or jean size'.

At Fitstreet we determine clothing size by waist measurement, not weight on the scales, and not bust measurement. We equate a drop in clothing size to a 2 inch reduction around the natural waistline - measured around the navel or the belly button.

These are the industry standards we follow:

UK 10 = 26"
UK 12 = 28"
UK 14 = 30"
UK 16 = 32"
UK 18 = 34"
UK 22 = 36"

Each size thereafter increases by 2 inches. Whatever your current measurements, we guarantee you a drop of at least 2 inches from your waistline in under 5 weeks.This is also valid for male clients, who are expected to see a drop in jean size in this time (eg: 40” waist to a 38”).

IMPORTANT: Please don't now measure yourself and panic that you are actually a size or two bigger than you thought you were! Taking a waist measurement around the belly button does not equate to your actual dress or jean size, although you will be able to fit into a size smaller than you currently wear within 4 weeks. Using the measurement around the belly button
is an industry guideline, not a definitive mark.
