4XL in numbers and country sizes
| EU / DE | International | UK | US | FR | IT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48 | 3XL | 20 | 16 | 50 | 54 |
| 50 | 3XL | 22 | 18 | 52 | 56 |
| 52 | 4XL | 24 | 20 | 54 | 58 |
| 54 | 4XL | 26 | 22 | 56 | 60 |
In the standard chart 4XL covers two European numbers, 52 and 54. Letter sizes are a coarser grid than numbers, so an 4XL sometimes fits like a 52 and sometimes like a 54. The measurements in the chart tell you where you sit.

How to measure yourself
Measure in your underwear with a soft tape. Three measurements are enough:
- Bust: around the fullest part, with the tape level across your back.
- Waist: around the narrowest part, usually a hand width above your navel.
- Hips: around the fullest part of your seat.
Keep the tape snug but not tight. The values in the chart are guide values, not a promise. If you fall between two sizes, go by your bust for tops and by your hips for trousers and skirts.
The sizes either side
Below it sits 3XL (European size 50). If you land between two letters, the number sizes help: they are a finer grid.
