Estimating Your Clothing Size Without Measuring Yourself
Here’s the closest technical formula/method:
Step 1: Choose a Reference Item That Fits You Well
Pick a fitted item of clothing (e.g. jeans, dress, blazer) from a brand where you already know the size fits you perfectly.
Step 2: Identify the Brand, Size, and Style
Write down:
Brand name (e.g. Zara)
Garment type (e.g. straight-leg trousers)
Size label (e.g. UK 10 or M)
Step 3: Use Tellar.co.uk to Estimate Equivalent Sizes Across Brands
Instead of a formula, you use a known fit as a reference point and let Tellar.co.uk handle the conversion.
How:
Go to https://www.tellar.co.uk/store-size-lookup/
Select “I know my size in a specific store”
Type your known brand (e.g. Zara), size (e.g. Medium)
Tellar will display your estimated equivalent sizes in 1,500+ other brands—based on actual garment data
⚠️ Why There’s No Universal Math Formula
Because fashion brands don’t agree on measurements, there is no simple “multiply by x” equation that gives accurate results across:
Cuts (slim vs relaxed)
Rise (mid vs high waist)
Fit models (standard, petite, curve)
Stretch content (denim with 2% elastane fits very differently than rigid cotton)
Even converting a Zara Medium to Reiss, COS or Mango varies depending on the product type.
