Ora is an Irish-owned plus-size brand, designing clothing exclusively for fuller figures from Ora size 1 through to size 6 (IRL/UK 14 to UK 24). The table below shows exactly which IRL/UK size each Ora size corresponds to, alongside the French/Spanish/German and Italian equivalents if you've shopped other European brands and want to cross-reference.
How to measure yourself
- Chest: measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape horizontal and close to the body.
- Waist: measure at the narrowest point of your natural waist, just above the navel.
- Hip: measure around the widest part of your hips.
- If you're between two Ora sizes, the brand designs its clothing with comfort and ease in mind, so sizing up is recommended for fitted styles.

Frequently asked questions
What is Ora size 3 in IRL/UK?
Ora size 3 is an IRL/UK 18 (France/Spain EU 46, Germany/Scandinavia 44, Italy 50, USA 22).
Does Ora run true to size?
Ora designs specifically for plus-size figures, so proportions are built around fuller curves rather than scaled up from smaller sizes. Most customers find Ora runs true to its own scale — take your IRL/UK size and match it to the Ora size in the table above as a starting point. For fitted styles, sizing up one gives extra comfort.
I usually shop in EU sizes like 44, 46, 48 — how does that translate to Ora?
EU sizes from French/Spanish brands (e.g. 44 = UK 16) match the "France, Spain & Portugal" column above — so an EU 44 from those brands is Ora size 2. EU sizes from German/Scandinavian brands (where 42 = UK 14) match the "Germany & Scandinavia" column — in that system, a 42 is also Ora size 1. Note these two EU numbering systems don't share the same numbers, so it's worth checking which country your usual brand is based in.
Is Ora available outside Ireland?
Ora is an Irish brand, and wardrobeplus.ie ships from Ireland. All orders are fulfilled from our warehouse in Wicklow.
