    The average dress size for women in the UK is a 16, with the average female measurements being a bust of 38.5 inches (98 cm), a waist of 34 inches (86 cm) and hips of 40.5 inches (103 cm).

    Women's measurements have increased considerably since the 1950's, when the average female waist measurement was a full six inches smaller. However the change is partially explained by the fact that people in general are now somewhat taller than they were in the 1950's.

    Comparing UK women with their US counterparts, overall British women tend to be taller, lighter and slimmer than American women. This is thought to be due to differences in diet, with Americans tending to prefer larger portions of meat.

    38% of women are considered to be clinically obese, and more than 60% of people shopping for clothes say that they have difficulty finding clothes that fit.

      What uk dress size consists of these measurements 32 - 23 - 32?

      answered 2 years ago   

      I'd guess a UK 6, possibly a UK 4, although generally UK size charts show the hip measurement for a particular size to be about 2in larger than the bust rather than the same. E.g., a UK 10 might be 34-26-36.
