Vero Moda Curve is sized in EU sizes 42–54 (IRL/UK 14–26), designed specifically for fuller figures. Both individual EU sizes (42, 44, 46...) and grouped letter sizes (S–XL) are used depending on the style — the letter sizes simply group two consecutive EU sizes together. Some styles also use S/M/L/XL exclusively. The tables below cover all sizing formats.
How to measure yourself
- Chest: measure at the fullest part of the chest, tape horizontal and close to the body.
- Below chest: measure just below the bust line — used in some fitted-bodice or structured styles.
- Waist: measure at the narrowest point, approximately 5cm above the belly button.
- Hip: measure around the widest part of the hips, approximately 20cm below the natural waistline.
- If you're between two sizes, size up for a looser fit or size down for a closer fit.

Which size label will I see?
- Tops, dresses, trousers, jeans and jackets typically use individual EU sizes (42, 44, 46...).
- Some tops and dresses use S/M/L/XL exclusively — the letter-to-EU conversion is in the table above: S = EU 42–44, M = EU 46–48, L = EU 50, XL = EU 52–54.
- Both formats refer to the same body measurements — check the specific product page to see which is used, then match to the table above.
Fit notes by category
- Tops and blouses: generally true to size. Size to your chest measurement as the primary fit point; the curve-specific cut gives appropriate ease through the hip without needing to size up for bust fit.
- Dresses: for fitted dresses, check both chest and hip measurements. For wrap and relaxed styles, chest is usually sufficient.
- Jeans and trousers: size by hip measurement for the most reliable fit, particularly for straight or slim cuts where the hip is the tightest point. The waist on most styles has a little stretch or elastic, so hip is the critical measurement.
- Jackets: size by chest measurement. Vero Moda Curve jackets are cut with consistent ease through the waist and hip, so chest is normally the only measurement that determines fit.
Frequently asked questions
What size am I in Vero Moda Curve if I'm IRL/UK 18?
A UK 18 is EU 46 in Vero Moda Curve, with a chest of 112cm, waist of 97cm and hip of 118cm. If the style uses letter sizing, that's size M.
Is Vero Moda Curve the same size as regular Vero Moda?
No — Vero Moda Curve uses a different size range (EU 42–54, IRL/UK 14–26) with proportions designed specifically for fuller figures. Don't assume your regular Vero Moda size carries over directly.
What does "below chest" mean on the size chart?
It's the measurement taken just below the bust line rather than at its fullest point. Some Vero Moda Curve styles with fitted bodices or structured cuts use this to ensure the garment sits correctly under the bust rather than pulling across it.
I see both letter sizes and EU sizes on your site — which should I use?
Both refer to the same body measurements, just labelled differently depending on the style. Check the size options on the specific product; if it shows S/M/L/XL, use the letter column in the table above. If it shows 42/44/46 etc., use the EU size column. They are the same scale.
Does Vero Moda Curve run the same as Only Carmakoma?
Both brands use the same EU 42–54 scale and are part of the Bestseller group. Size numbering is consistent between them. Individual garment proportions and ease differ by style and fabric, so check measurements per style rather than assuming an exact cross-brand fit.
