Uniqlo Size Chart
Global basics · women's
Uniqlo is a Japanese brand that sizes womenswear with alpha labels from XXS to XXL, alongside a US numeric mapping, and publishes body measurements in centimetres. A size Medium maps to US 8–10 and fits roughly an 89–94cm bust, a 71–74cm waist and a 96–102cm hip. The most important thing to know is that Uniqlo is drafted to Japanese body proportions and runs small by Western standards, so many shoppers size up one — a Western Medium often wears better as a Uniqlo Large, particularly in fitted tops and dresses. Outerwear and the relaxed LifeWear basics are more forgiving. Uniqlo revised its women's body chart from late 2025, so re-check the ranges if you sized from an older guide. Australian stores use the same alpha labels. When buying Uniqlo secondhand, go by the centimetre body measurements rather than converting from your usual AU dress size, since the alpha cut sits smaller than the number suggests.

Uniqlo sizing — frequently asked questions
Does Uniqlo run small?
Yes. Uniqlo sizing is based on Japanese body proportions, which run smaller than Western averages, so most Western shoppers with a Medium body measurement find a Uniqlo Large or XL more comfortable, especially in fitted tops and dresses. Outerwear and relaxed basics are more forgiving.
What is a Uniqlo Medium in centimetres?
A Uniqlo Medium maps to US 8–10 and fits roughly an 89–94cm bust, 71–74cm waist and 96–102cm hip on the brand's body chart. Uniqlo revised its women's measurements from late 2025, so re-check against the current ranges if you sized from an older guide.
How does Uniqlo sizing work in Australia?
Uniqlo Australia uses the same alpha labels (XS, S, M, L, XL) as the rest of the world and does not publish an Australian numeric conversion. The most reliable approach is to match your body measurements to the centimetre ranges above rather than converting from your usual AU dress size.
How to measure Uniqlo against your own wardrobe
