Spain resizes clothes for women

The BBC reports that "Spain is to standardise its clothing sizes for women as part of a government drive to ease pressure on young girls over their body size. Clothes currently on sale in Spain often vary in size from shop to shop, despite carrying the same size label." If that's not enough confusion for you and, if you are only visiting and want to buy something in your size, then you also have to learn a different numbering system than you would have found, for instance in the UK or the US.

What is your equivalent size? See this list of International Clothing Sizes
Compare European, British, American and Japanese shoe sizes here.
