A women's size 18 generally corresponds to plus sizes (2XL) in Australia, fitting around a 110-115 cm bust, 89-94 cm waist, and 118-123 cm hips, but measurements vary by brand, so always check the specific size chart for bust, waist, and hip measurements (e.g., 45" bust/37.5" waist in some, while others are closer to a 43" bust/36" waist).
XXL may fit someone who wears size 18-20 in straight sizes. 2X is specifically tailored for plus-size bodies, often accommodating measurements for sizes 20-22 or even larger, depending on the garment.
Plus-size clothing is generally considered a women's size 18 and beyond. “Missy” or “straight” sizes range from 00–16/18, XXS–XXL, whereas plus sizes range from 12W–28W, 0X–4X and greater.
below 18.5 – you're in the underweight range. 18.5 to 24.9 – you're in the healthy weight range. 25 to 29.9 – you're in the overweight range. 30 to 39.9 – you're in the obese range.
While a size XL is designed to fit a size 16/18, she may prefer to wear a size 1X, which equates to a size 14/16. This is because the plus-size section was designed with curves in mind.
The range for XXL size is between 18-20. Hence, it is a plus-size.
1X is larger then XL. This is because L, XL, XXL are all in misses/womens sizing. 1X, 2X, 3X are all in women's PLUS sized sizing. So in this case 1X or 2X (being PLUS size garments for heavier set women) are going to be larger then an XL, XXL in regular misses sizes.
XXL, or Double Extra Large, generally corresponds to a bust measurement of 44–46 inches (112–117 cm), a waist measurement of 36–38 inches (91–96 cm), and hips around 46–48 inches (117–122 cm).
It was used as a way to shorten the name, but since plus sizes has become more popular, the abbreviation is not used as often anymore, as it created confusion. So to summarize: XXL = 2XL. But XXL does NOT = 1X or 2X.
