Alex Perry Size Guide: UK, US, AU, IT and FR Conversions
The Alex Perry size guide runs UK and AU 4 to 20, which converts to US 0 to 16, IT 36 to 52 and FR 32 to 48. UK and AU sizes are identical, and the US size is the UK size minus four, so a UK 10 is a US 6. Luxury Shoes ’s read is that Alex Perry is true to size, but many pieces are corseted and non-stretch, so choose by your tightest measurement, meaning the one that falls in the larger size.
This guide covers the full conversion chart, the body measurements the brand publishes, and how each Fall Winter 2026 fabric fits, from wool-suiting corsets to stretch mesh, leather and shearling.
Alex Perry size chart: UK, AU, US, IT and FR
The official chart uses UK and AU sizing as the base. Every international size steps up in twos.
| UK / AU | US | IT | FR |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 0 | 36 | 32 |
| 6 | 2 | 38 | 34 |
| 8 | 4 | 40 | 36 |
| 10 | 6 | 42 | 38 |
| 12 | 8 | 44 | 40 |
| 14 | 10 | 46 | 42 |
| 16 | 12 | 48 | 44 |
| 18 | 14 | 50 | 46 |
| 20 | 16 | 52 | 48 |
Luxury Handbags stocks the Fall Winter 2026 pieces in UK 4 to 18. The leather biker jackets come in letter sizes XXS to XXL and the shearling biker in XS to L. Check the product page for current sizes on each piece.
Alex Perry body measurements
The brand publishes body measurements in centimetres. These are the two sizes we have checked against the official chart; for any other size, use the brand’s official size chart.
| Size | Bust | Waist | Hip |
|---|---|---|---|
| UK 8 / US 4 | 84 cm (33.1 in) | 64 cm (25.2 in) | 95 cm (37.4 in) |
| UK 10 / US 6 | 89 cm (35.0 in) | 69 cm (27.2 in) | 100 cm (39.4 in) |
The step between the two sizes is 5 cm at bust, waist and hip. Inch figures are converted from the centimetre chart and rounded to one decimal place.
Is Alex Perry UK sizing the same as AU sizing?
Yes. On the Alex Perry chart a UK 10 and an AU 10 are the same garment. That matters because many international retailers list the brand in UK sizes, so an Australian customer can buy her usual number. US customers subtract four: UK 12 is US 8, UK 14 is US 10.
Does Alex Perry run true to size?
In our experience, yes. The pattern follows the published measurements closely. What catches people out is the fit intent. The brand’s own note says its clothes are constructed to sculpt and designed to sit high on the waist to elongate. A corset bodice that sits high and close is doing what it was designed to do, so it will feel firmer than a jersey dress in the same size. The brand does not give a blanket instruction to size up and down, and neither do we. Choose the size that matches your measurements, using the tightest one as the deciding figure.
How Alex Perry corset gowns fit
The longline corset on pieces such as the Strapless Sweetheart Drape Gown in Wool Suiting and the sage Strapless Drape Mini Dress extends below the natural waist. It has no give. If your waist measures a size smaller than your bust, the bust measurement wins, because a corset that will not close over the ribcage cannot be worn, while a little ease at the waist can be taken in by a tailor. The same logic applies to the Strapless Longline Corset Top. Our corset gowns guide explains the construction in more depth.
How strapless Alex Perry pieces should fit
A strapless bodice should sit flat against the skin along the top edge with no gap when you lean forward, and it should not dig in under the arm. Raise both arms: if the neckline slides down, it is too big. On the cupped styles, such as the Strapless Sweetheart Drape Column in blackberry satin crepe, the cups should sit on the bust without a ridge at the top. Satin crepe has no stretch, so do not rely on it to settle.
How leather fits
The FW26 leather dresses and bodysuits are 100% lamb leather; the biker jackets and the skirt are cow leather. Leather relaxes slightly against body heat over the first few wears but does not stretch the way knit does. The cherry Strapless Sweetheart Dress and the dijon Scoop Singlet Dress both have an internal corset, so treat them as structured pieces and size to the tightest measurement. Bodysuits such as the Scoop Singlet Bodysuit in cherry leather close with a concealed zip and should lie smooth without pulling at the zip line. The leather strapless dress guide covers care.
How stretch mesh and leopard lace fit
Stretch mesh (77.5% nylon, 22.5% spandex) is the most forgiving fabric in the collection. The grey Strapless Sweetheart Ruched Column and the black Cupped Bodysuit move with the body, which helps when you sit between sizes at the hip. The cupped panels still need to match your bust, so choose by the top half. Leopard lace (90% polyamide, 10% elastane) has a little stretch too; the Long Sleeve Bodysuit in Leopard Lace is sheer and unlined and sits close to the skin.
Shearling and the leather bikers: letter sizes
The Oversize Biker Jacket in white shearling runs XS to L and is cut deliberately big, so take your usual letter size for the intended slouch. The Cropped Biker Jacket in black and cherry comes in XXS to XXL and has a boxy, fitted, cropped shape. If you plan to wear it over a corset gown, check the shoulder and bust measurements on the product page so it closes comfortably over the bodice.

How to measure for Alex Perry
- Bust. Wear the bra you plan to wear with the piece; for strapless styles, a strapless bra. Measure around the fullest part, keeping the tape level across the back.
- Waist. Find the narrowest point of the torso, usually just above the navel. Breathe out normally and keep one finger under the tape.
- Hip. Stand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of the seat.
- Compare. Match each figure to the chart. When they fall in different sizes, choose by the tightest one on structured fabrics and by the bust on stretch mesh.
Measure in centimetres if you can, since that is how the brand publishes its chart.

Frequently asked questions
Does Alex Perry run true to size?
Yes, Luxury Handbags finds Alex Perry true to size against the brand’s published chart. Many pieces have internal corsetry and are non-stretch, and the brand designs them to sculpt and sit high on the waist, so they feel firmer than jersey. Choose the size that matches your measurements, using your tightest measurement as the deciding figure on structured pieces.
Is Alex Perry sizing the same in the UK and Australia?
Yes. Alex Perry uses UK and AU sizing, and the two are identical on the brand chart. A UK 10 is an AU 10. The chart runs UK and AU 4 to 20, which converts to US 0 to 16, IT 36 to 52 and FR 32 to 48. Luxury Handbags stocks the Fall Winter 2026 pieces in UK 4 to 18.
What size is an Alex Perry UK 10 in US sizing?
An Alex Perry UK 10 is a US 6. The US size is always the UK size minus four on the brand chart, so UK 8 is US 4 and UK 12 is US 8. A UK 10 measures 89 cm at the bust, 69 cm at the waist and 100 cm at the hip according to the brand’s published chart.
Should I size up in an Alex Perry corset gown?
Not automatically. The brand does not tell customers to size up, and Luxury Handbags reads the fit as true to size. Corset gowns have no stretch, so use the size that fits your tightest measurement, which is usually the bust and ribcage. A little ease at the waist can be taken in by a tailor; a corset that will not close cannot be worn.
How should a strapless Alex Perry gown fit?
A strapless Alex Perry gown should sit flat along the top edge, with no gap when you lean forward and no digging under the arm. The longline corset holds the bodice, so it should feel firm but allow a full breath. If the neckline slides when you raise your arms, the size is too big. Wear a strapless bra when you try it on.
What sizes do the Alex Perry biker jackets come in?
The Alex Perry leather cropped biker jackets come in letter sizes XXS to XXL, and the white shearling oversize biker comes in XS to L. The leather style is boxy, fitted and cropped, while the shearling is cut oversize on purpose. Check the product page for current sizes and measurements before ordering.
