1. What is a Dress Size Calculator?

Definition: This calculator determines your dress size based on your bust, waist, and hips measurements, providing sizes for US, UK, EU, and International standards.

Purpose: It helps users find the correct dress size for shopping, ensuring a better fit and comfort.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator compares your selected bust, waist, and hips measurements against a size chart to find the best matching dress size for each measurement. If an exact match is not found, it suggests the closest size based on the smallest deviation for each measurement.
