Typically, girls’ clothing sizes are determined by their age, height, and weight. However, taking precise measures of your daughter’s height, waist, hips, inseam, and a number of other important body parts will help you select the correct fit for her. You might also want to measure the base of her neck and the length of her sleeves. Then, use a trustworthy size chart to determine the correct clothes size for her (skip straight to the European Girl’s clothing sizes Charts).

Girls’ clothing sizes can be further divided into three categories: normal sizes, plus American sizes, Japanese sizes, and slim sizes.

Various nations adhere to their own set of guidelines. The key factor influencing girls’ clothing sizes in the United States, the United Kingdom, Western Europe, and Australia is age. However, in Europe, girls’ sizes are determined by a child’s height, measured in centimeters.

Size details are very important and accurate measurements are obtained through body measurement procedures such as bust circumference, and chest circumference.

How to Use the European girl’s clothing sizes chart

Related: How to Measure Your Body for Clothing Sizes

Girls’ clothing sizing is not a precise science. Your daughter may not wear the same size across all kinds of apparel just because she wears a size 10 in one particular brand. Most girls’ apparel sizing charts are based on age, while some also take height and weight into account.

However, some size charts are more thorough and provide precise body measurements for each size label. Because of this, you must note your daughter’s precise body dimensions in order to choose the clothing that fits her well. Depending on what you’re measuring for, this will require the use of measuring tools like a tape measure or a ruler.

You must take your girl’s measurements either over her bare skin or while she is dressed in a skin-tight outfit in order to get precise measurements of her body.

You must note her breast, waist, and even hip measurements if you intend to buy her a top or a dress. Her waist, hips, and inseam measurements are required if you plan to buy kids’ pants or jeans. 20th-century and 21st-century Anthropometric surveys soon that voluntary standards are very important.

Frequently asked questions

1. What size is 130 in European Girl’s Clothing Sizes?

US size 6-7 Years or times 5-6 Years.

2. How do UK clothing sizes compare to the US?

Women’s sizes in the UK and the US differ by three sizes, with the UK being the smaller of the two. In this case, a US women’s size 6 would be equivalent to a UK women’s size 3. This would be a UK women’s size 6 if you needed a US women’s size 9.

3. What are UK sizes in the US?

When purchasing clothing, if you are a woman, get a size larger than your US size. In the UK, a US 4 would be a UK 8, and vice versa. When purchasing clothing, choose the same size if you are a male. For instance, a US size of 30-32 corresponds to a UK size of 30-32.

4. Are clothing sizes different in Europe?

Clothing sizes vary between brands as well as between different styles made by the same brand. Unfortunately, there are no available European-wide standards, and the manufacturers of the various brands adhere to their own criteria.

5. What is a UK 14 in the US?

US 12– approximately UK 14 (Waist 31”/32″ and Bust 39”/40″)

6. What age is 120cm in clothes?

7-8 years old

7. Is the US medium the same as the UK?

Men can purchase clothing in the same size that they normally do in the US. However, they will need to take the UK standard into account for smaller shoe sizes. For kids, the size differences in clothing are not very noticeable up to certain ages, especially between 3-4 Years, 6-7 Years, or times 5-6 Years.

Conclusion on European Girl’s Clothing Sizes

Can we rely on the sizes of girls’ clothes?
Sadly, the response is “no, not entirely.” Many people find buying girls’ clothing to be a very difficult task, largely because size charts vary and are not universal. You can use general size charts as a guide, but they are approximations.

You can’t count on getting your child the ideal fit every time you shop online or without her. However, something is always preferable to nothing. Instead of having no size chart at all, it is preferable to have imperfect guidance that can assist you to determine the size.

The American, British and Australian sizes are based on the age of the child, while in Europe the size is based on the child’s height in centimeters. Some US sizes include a “T”, which stands for a toddler.
