UK Betty Barclay Sizing Guide & Recommendations
7th May 2024
Our Betty Barclay sizing guide features a simple breakdown of sizes and tips to help you find the perfect fit from this renowned designer brand known for its feminine fashion.
Betty Barclay pieces typically run true to size, so you can choose your regular size, but if you’ve never shopped this label before, a chart can be helpful.
That’s why we’ve put together this comprehensive sizing guide for UK Betty Barclay clothing.
The guide also includes a conversion chart from German to UK sizes and gives exact measurements for the bust, waist, and hips, making it easier for you to find your ideal size with confidence.
Betty Barclay Size Guide
Betty Barclay garments can be labelled with either European numbered sizing or lettered sizing, so we’ve converted these sizes into UK number sizes with centimetre measurements to help you find the right size before purchasing.
Please note: The measurements in this chart are a general guide provided by the designer. The fit of individual pieces can be influenced by the style, cut, and fabric of the garment. Feel free to contact us for further assistance.

How to Take Your Measurements for Betty Barclay Garments
Each Betty Barclay size corresponds to specific measurements, so it’s important to make sure your measurements are up to date to get the most accurate fit when purchasing garments online.
It’s important to note that the difference between sizes can be as small as 4 cm, so accurate measurements are crucial.
To get the most accurate measurements, our stylists recommend getting somebody to help you. Alternatively, you can visit our store, and our in-house stylists will gladly help.
Taking Bust MeasurementsTo accurately measure your bust, stand up straight with your arms relaxed at your sides. The measuring tape should be taken around the fullest part of your bust. Make sure it’s snug under your armpits and lays across your shoulder blades for the most accurate results. Ensure the tape measure is snug but not tight and is parallel to the floor all the way around. For the best accuracy, wear a non-padded bra. |
Taking Waist MeasurementsTo measure your waist, find the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above your navel. Stand naturally and wrap a measuring tape around this area, ensuring it’s parallel to the floor without compressing the skin. The tape should be snug but not tight, allowing space for the natural fluctuations of your body throughout the day. Breathe normally and take the measurement without holding your breath to ensure accuracy. It’s often helpful to measure in front of a mirror to ensure the tape stays level around the whole circumference. |
Taking Hip MeasurementsTo measure your hips, stand with your feet together. Find the widest part of your hips, generally over your buttocks and approximately 7 to 10 inches below your waist. Wrap the measuring tape around this area, ensuring it’s parallel to the floor. The tape should be firm but not tight, accurately reflecting the fullest part of your hips. Ensure the tape is straight and level for the most precise measurement. |
Our team of dedicated in-house stylists is always available to offer advice if you’re in between sizes or unsure of your size.
Alternatively, you can book an in-store appointment, and our expert stylists will assist you.
