An EU 24 in children's shoes typically converts to an Australian (AU) size 7, though it can sometimes be an AU 6 or 7 depending on the brand, as EU 24 sits between AU 6 (EU 23) and AU 7 (EU 24/25) for toddlers/young kids, so always check the specific brand's size chart.
Converting EU sizes to AU sizes depends on whether it's for men's or women's shoes or clothing, but generally, AU sizes are similar to US sizes for women, and AU sizes are the same as UK sizes for men; for shoes, an EU size often converts by adding roughly 30-33 to the AU/UK size for men, while women's sizing varies, with AU sizes like 8 being EU 36 and AU 10 being EU 40.
An Australian size 10 generally converts to a US size 6 or 8 (depending on the brand) and European size 38, fitting a bust around 88-92 cm, waist 68-72 cm, and hips 95-100 cm for women's clothing, though it's often a size Medium (M), equivalent to a US Small. For men's clothing, AU 10 corresponds to a UK size 10 in some charts, while shoe sizes vary, often being a US 10 or UK 10/EU 44.
An Australian size 12 is roughly a US size 8, UK size 12, and European size 40, translating to measurements around 97-101cm bust, 78-82cm waist, and 105-109cm hips for women's clothing, often considered a Medium (M). For boys, an AU size 12 fits a 68cm waist and 150cm height, while kids' sizes can vary.
US size 24 jeans fits a 24-inch waist and 35-inch hip and corresponds to a US size 00. What is size 25 jeans in US? US size 25 jeans fits a 25-inch waist and 36-inch hip and corresponds to a US size 2.
The US is two sizes smaller. Meaning if you are a 10 in an Australia size you are a 6 in a US size . If you are an 8 in an Aus size you are a 4 in a US size. However, a "small" Aus is the same as a "small" US.
In theory, the sizes down under are supposed to be the same as ours. However it is often said that Australia sizes are a slightly larger fit than UK. So if you're a 12/14 in the UK you'll probably be a 12 in Australia. But, as I mentioned above, sizes are variable depending on the brand much like our own.
Australia, which is both a country and a continent, covers an area of about 7.69 million square kilometers (2.97 million square miles). Europe, on the other hand, covers an area of about 10.18 million square kilometers (3.93 million square miles) if you include the European part of Russia.
Most people know that EU stands for European Union, begun in 1993. But nobody knows what AU means. That's because it doesn't exist (aside from American University). The initials AU stand for Atlantic Union, an idea that goes way back but remains just that, an idea.
In Australia, a size 12 is generally considered a "straight" or "missy" size, falling within average ranges, but due to vanity sizing and inconsistent measurements across brands, it can represent different body sizes; health-wise, a larger waist (over 88cm for women) is a risk factor, and the actual average Australian woman is now closer to a size 16-18, meaning a size 12 is smaller than average, though "fat" is a subjective term related to body image and health metrics like BMI, not just a single number.
How measure yourself
It's worth pointing out that a B cup in a 32 band is a smaller volume than a B cup in a 34 or 36 band. That's because the cup size is relative to the band size. A 34A has nearly an identical cup volume to a 32B, which is referred to as a sister size.
For instance, if you're eyeing a dress labeled AU size 10, it might correspond to a US size 6 or a UK size 10. Yet, it's always prudent to double-check measurements, as sizing conventions can vary across brands and regions.
