Wasabi is a Scandinavian plus-size brand designed specifically for fuller figures, with extra room through the bust and soft curves built into each style from the pattern stage. Wasabi sizes run from EU 34 to EU 58. Some styles on our site are labelled S/M/L/XL/2XL rather than EU numbers — the table below shows both so you can find your size whichever label you see.
How to measure yourself
- Chest: measure around the fullest part of your chest.
- Waist: measure between the upper part of your hip and the bottom rib — not the hip itself.
- Hip: measure around the widest spot around your hips.
- Note that woven fabrics (blouses, shirts, structured jackets) often feel firmer than jersey and knitwear in the same size. If you're between sizes in a woven style, size up; in jersey or knitwear, your measured size is usually fine.

S/M/L/XL/2XL — which EU sizes do these correspond to?
Some Wasabi styles on our site are labelled using letter sizes rather than EU numbers. In Wasabi's range, these typically correspond to:
| Letter Size | Approximate EU Size | IRL/UK Size (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| S | 38–40 | 12–14 |
| M | 42–44 | 16–18 |
| L | 46–48 | 20–22 |
| XL | 50–52 | 24–26 |
| 2XL | 54–56 | 28–30 |
Check the specific product's EU size label or size notes if available, as the letter-to-EU mapping can vary slightly by style and fabric.
Frequently asked questions
Does Wasabi run true to size?
Wasabi is designed with extra room through the bust and curves, so styles can feel slightly more generous than equivalent EU sizes from other brands. For jersey and knitwear, your measured EU size is usually right. For woven styles (blouses, shirts), if you're between sizes, consider sizing up.
What size am I in Wasabi if I'm IRL/UK 20?
A UK 20 corresponds to approximately EU 46–48 in Wasabi, with a chest of 118cm, waist of 104cm and hip of 124cm.
What is the largest size Wasabi makes?
Wasabi's range runs to EU 58 (approximately IRL/UK 32). Not every style is available in every size.
Why does Wasabi use double sizes for some EU rows (e.g. 46–48)?
In Wasabi's sizing, those rows represent one garment cut designed to fit comfortably across both sizes in that range, rather than two separate fits. This is similar to how some other brands use grouped sizing — the cut has enough ease to accommodate both body measurements.
