Markarian Sizing UK, EU and AU: International Size Guide 2026

Markarian sizing in the UK and Australia is simple: add four to the US size, so a US 4 is a UK 8 and an AU 8. In Europe, add 28 to the UK size, so a UK 8 is an EU 36. Markarian cuts in US sizes and Coveti lists every piece in UK sizes 4 to 18. Shop the edit in designer dresses.

Markarian size conversion: US, UK, AU and EU

This is the table to save. It follows Markarian’s own conversion (US 0 is UK 4, US 14 is UK 18). Australian sizes use the same numbers as the UK, and EU sizes are the UK size plus 28.

If you usually shop Italian sizing, note that Italian labels run a step higher than the EU column above, so an IT 40 is closer to a UK 8. The safest reference is always your UK size.

For the US-focused version with full fit notes, see our Markarian size guide. This page is for shoppers in the UK, Australia, Canada, Europe and the Gulf.

How Coveti lists Markarian sizes

Every Markarian product page at Coveti shows UK sizes: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18. Each size is converted from the brand’s US label using the table above, so you never need to convert twice. A few practical notes:

• Canada uses US sizing for womenswear, so read the first column of the table and pick the matching UK size.
• Australia and New Zealand use the UK numbers directly. Your usual AU 10 is a UK 10 at Coveti.
• The UAE and the wider Gulf: use whichever of the US, UK and EU columns you already know, then read across to the UK size.
• Sets are sold by the piece. A top and skirt can be ordered in different sizes. Our co-ord sets guide shows the pairings.

Does Markarian run true to size?

Yes. Most Markarian product pages say to take your usual size, and several Pre-Fall 2026 pages say the piece fits true to size. The more useful question is how each silhouette fits, because a corset midi and an elastic-waist trouser behave very differently.

Fit by silhouette, in brief

• The Ginevra Silver Midi Dress is cut close through the body with a low scooped back, the classic Markarian corset fit.
• The Maisie Silver Corset Top has a round neckline and an exposed back zip.
• The Coquette Sequined Cotton Midi Dress is a relaxed midi in white cotton with gold and bronze sequin flowers.
• The Ila Navy Bouquet Trouser has an elastic waistband and fits true to size.
• The Clover Silver Gown and Aziza Beaded Slip Gown are slim through the hip.

Almost every Markarian piece is fully lined in 100% silk. A silk lining does not stretch, so a fitted piece will not loosen with wear the way an unlined knit does.

Sizing for occasions abroad

Buying for an event in another climate changes the brief more than the size. For a winter ball in London and a December wedding in Toronto, a fitted corset midi sits under a coat and over sheer tights. For an Australian summer wedding, the relaxed Coquette and the Ila trouser are cooler choices. For a wedding in Dubai and other events where more coverage is expected, Markarian’s longer shapes help: the Aziza and Clover gowns are floor length, the Goldie Beaded Cape Top has a high neckline, and the Marina Maroon Midi Dress has sheer capelet sleeves.

How to check your size before you order

Size labels vary between brands, so the best check is a piece you already own and love. Lay a fitted dress flat and measure across the bust and the waist, then compare those numbers with the description on the Markarian product page.

• Know your UK size first. Read the conversion table from your UK number, not from a US label bought elsewhere.
• Fitted styles first. If you are ordering a corset piece and a relaxed piece, decide the corset size first; it has less room for error.
• Allow for occasion underwear. A strapless bra changes how a corset bodice fits, so try it on with the bra you plan to wear.
• Read the fit line. Every Markarian page at Coveti carries a size and fit note under the description.

Why Markarian sizes in US numbers

Markarian is a New York label, founded in 2017 by designer Alexandra O’Neill, and every piece is designed, produced and hand-finished in the city’s Garment District. Much of the work is made to order to reduce waste, and the brand sizes in US numbers. For a closer look at the label, read our Markarian review. I always tell international clients the same thing: learn your UK size, then trust the conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Markarian run true to size?

Yes. Markarian says to take your usual size, and several pieces are described as fitting true to size. Corset styles are fitted through the bodice, so size for your ribcage if you are between sizes.

What is a Markarian US 4 in UK sizes?

A Markarian US 4 is a UK 8. UK sizes are the US size plus four, so US 0 is UK 4 and US 14 is UK 18.

How do Markarian sizes convert to Australian sizes?

Australian sizes match UK sizes, so add four to the Markarian US size. A US 6 is an AU 10 and a UK 10.

What is a UK 8 in EU sizing?

A UK 8 is an EU 36. EU sizes are the UK size plus 28, so UK 4 to 18 runs from EU 32 to EU 46.
