| Bust (inches) | Waist (inches) | Hips (inches) | Average (inches) | Calculated US Size | Conversion Equation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 34 | 26 | 36 | 32 | 4 | (34 + 26 + 36) / 3 = 32 |
| 36 | 28 | 38 | 34 | 8 | (36 + 28 + 38) / 3 = 34 |
| 38 | 30 | 40 | 36 | 10 | (38 + 30 + 40) / 3 = 36 |
| 40 | 32 | 42 | 38 | 12 | (40 + 32 + 42) / 3 = 38 |

Dress Size Calculation Formula
The formula uses a combination of the bust, waist, and hip measurements.
- Measure the bust at the fullest part.
- Measure the waist at the narrowest part.
- Measure the hips at the widest part.
- Calculate the average of these three measurements: Average = (Bust + Waist + Hips) / 3
- Use this average to determine the size based on a standardized size chart.
Example: Let’s say a woman has the following measurements:
- Bust: 38 inches
- Waist: 30 inches
- Hips: 40 inches
Calculating the average: (38 + 30 + 40) / 3 = 36 inches
This average of 36 inches might correspond to a US size 10 or 12, depending on the specific brand’s size chart.
