Find your fit in minutes: AU sizes and conversions
Start with your body measurements, not the garment label. For tops, prioritize bust. AU sizes align closely with UK sizing. If your measurements sit between two sizes, choose the size that matches your bust and consider fabric stretch and the intended fit.

How to measure for women's tops
- Bust: Wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level across your shoulder blades. Do not pull it tight.
- Waist: Measure your natural waist, just above the belly button where your torso creases when you bend to the side.
- Hips: Stand with feet together and measure the fullest part of your hips and seat.
- Fit check: Compare your numbers to the chart. If your bust is one size and your waist another, choose the size that fits your bust for tops and tees such as Women’s T-shirts.
Fit tips for Australian brands
- Fabric and stretch: Knits and ribbed tees offer more give. Woven styles like Women’s blouses have less give.
- Style intent: Oversized cuts are designed to look roomy. If you want a neater look, consider one size down.
- Length and rise: Petite or tall frames may prefer styles with adjusted lengths rather than changing size. For layering pieces like Women’s sweaters & cardigans, consider your usual size to allow for under-layers.
- Easy exchanges: At Zevara Melbourne you get free shipping within Australia and a 30 day money back guarantee, plus easy Exchanges & returns for size issues.
