Jenny Packham Size Guide: UK, US and EU Conversion

Jenny Packham is cut to a UK ladder, and across the pieces Luxury Handbags carries the brand states its fit is true to size. That makes it one of the more predictable designers to buy online. The detail below is taken from the brand’s own measurement chart and its own fit notes, not from our estimates.

Jenny Packham size conversion

A UK 10 is a US 6 and an EU 38. The full ladder, with the brand’s published body measurements in centimetres:

Note these are body measurements, so measure yourself rather than a garment you already own. Lower hip is taken 20cm below the waist.

How the clothes actually fit

Most Jenny Packham eveningwear is cut close through the bodice with internal shoulder pads, on a mid-weight cloth that does not stretch. Two things follow from that. Your bust measurement is the one that decides the size, because there is no give to borrow from. And the shoulder is structured, so a size that fits the bust will usually sit correctly at the shoulder without alteration.

The skirt is where the shapes diverge. A column such as the Trinity falls straight and needs the hip measurement checked. A fuller skirt, and a fringed one, are far more forgiving.

The exceptions that run small

A small number of styles carry an internal boned corset for support, and on those the brand says the piece fits small and recommends taking one size up. It states this on the product page itself. Do not apply it across the collection, because it is specific to the corseted construction.

Everything else in the current collection is marked true to size by the brand, so take your usual size.

If you are between sizes

On a fitted column, size to the larger measurement and have the waist taken in, which is a simple alteration on a plain skirt. On a heavily beaded bodice, do the opposite and size to fit the bodice, because taking in a beaded panel means removing and reapplying beadwork by hand. That is expensive and it rarely looks the same afterwards.

Care, once it fits

Every piece is fully lined and dry clean only. Store on a padded hanger so the weight of the beading does not drag the shoulder out of shape, and keep the surface away from perfume.
