Fantine<br><br><br><br>Susie Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 46 = 1648 = 18Though I'm not sure if going down the sizes you could just deduct 30 to get the UK size!! (This is a bit of a give-away to my size ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can remember it's never been any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaligoBay Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 What are the equivalents of the T1, T2, and T3 that you often see in France? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teejay Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 [quote]What are the equivalents of the T1, T2, and T3 that you often see in France?[/quote] Isn't it the term that estate agents use for describing how many rooms there are in a house etc?Or am I completely confused here and you're still referring to clothes sizes.

GRT17 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 [quote]What are the equivalents of the T1, T2, and T3 that you often see in France?[/quote]just a guess, would T refer "taille" (size)Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill<br><br>Jill (99) Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I think T1, T2 and T3 probably do mean Taille and are possibly small, medium and large. But smallest, smaller and small are probably more appropriate. Most of my daughter's tops are from French shops and she has a variation of T sizes. I'd guess they are more like 8, 10 and 12 in size.In England, isn't it New Look that has sizes in French and English. Perhaps try looking at labels there for comparing 40, 42 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letrangere Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I think T1, T2 and T3 probably do mean Taille and are possibly small, medium and large.Jill, I think you're right. I have several supermarket tops that are simply labelled T1 as I'm quite small. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I looked on one of the 'official' sites a couple of months ago and it is indeed what Teejay says. BUT my OH who worked for many many years in his 'Garment shops' (ie in the dark ages before jeans) said that you deduct 30. So I don't know.I can say that I was bra shopping the other day (Super U) and flicking through them, I noticed 105D is 40D which surprised me as I would have thought 100cm is nearer 40".I just buy the biggest size on the rackCan't go wrong then!

Fantine<br><br><br><br>Susie Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Found this website:http://www.maigrir-plaisir.com/tailleF2.htmUse the middle boxes 'desmoiselles' and click on the french or UK size you want to check. Doesn't help with the T sizes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Avery Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 This is a nightmare in some shops in the UK as well as France as they use Euro, US and T sizes sporadically through the shops. GAP for example use T sizes and Euro sizes. T sizes go from 1 to 5 and are often seen on mens clothes like shirts, all I know is that a T4 shirt is the equivalent of a 16 collar (44 inch chest) in the UK, they also do the equivelant of tight and loose fitting in these sizes.The chart I have for womens dresses is:UK 10 12 14 16 18 20 Fr 40 42 44 46 48 50For suits UK & US 36 38 40 42 44 46 Fr 46 48 50 52 54 56For shirtsUK & US 14 14.5 15 15.5 16 16.5 17 French 36 37 38 39-40 41 42 43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Sizings don't seem to be exact equivelents. I've seen size 38 translated as size 10 and as size 12. I find that it's somewhere between the two; more or less an 11. As for T1 etc. It means Taille 1 and so on. I generally try a T2 first because I find T1 can be a bit too tight (it probably caters for those size 34/36 women here)Of course, just like in the UK, you have to know the shop. Some of them size more generously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
