Victoria Beckham Sizing: Does It Run Small?

Victoria Beckham is a British label, so it cuts in UK sizes for tailoring and dresses and in letter sizes for knitwear. Most pieces fit true to size, but a handful do not, and the brand says so on the label. This guide pulls the brand’s own fit notes for every piece in the Victoria Beckham collection at Coveti into one place.

Does Victoria Beckham run small?

Mostly no. Of the Victoria Beckham pieces we carry this season, the large majority are marked by the brand as fitting true to size. The exceptions are specific styles, almost all of them fitted dresses and gowns in crepe-back satin, where the brand recommends one size up.

• Size up: the Kyra midi dress and Kyra gown, the Blaire midi dress, the Bela midi dress in burgundy, ivory, ore and yellow, the Georgia jumper and the High Waist jean. For example, the Kyra Midi Dress in Midnight and the Blaire Midi Dress in Black.
• Size down: the beige Philippa trench runs large, and the brand suggests going down. Several relaxed knits and jackets, such as the Wide Collar Jumper in Ivory, are cut loose with a note that you can size down for a closer fit.
• True to size: most tailoring, including the Katherine Jacket in Marsh Green and the Alina Trouser in Midnight.

How Victoria Beckham sizes convert

Dresses and tailoring run from UK 4 to UK 14, with many styles going to UK 16. Knitwear and jersey come in XS to XL. Jeans are sized by waist in inches, 24 to 34.

Trousers: the high waist matters

The Alina trouser sits on the natural waist, higher than most trousers. Measure your waist at its narrowest point and buy to that. The leg is wide, so the hips have room. If you are between sizes, take the larger and have the waist taken in; the brand notes that some trousers are built for easy alteration at the back waistband. More in our trouser guide.

Jeans

The Alina and Gigi jeans are cut in rigid cotton denim with little stretch. Buy your true waist size. The High Waist Jean in Mid Blue Wash is marked as running small. Our Alina jean guide covers rise and length.

Dresses

Crepe-back satin does not stretch. Check the bust measurement on the size guide if you are full-chested, and size up in the styles the brand flags. Jersey dresses such as the Frances Midi Dress in Burgundy have stretch and are more forgiving.

Knitwear

Many knits are cut relaxed by design. If you like a closer fit, the brand’s own note on these styles is to size down. Fitted rib knits such as the Georgia Jumper in Black run close, and the brand suggests sizing up for a looser look. See the knitwear guide.

Model heights

Victoria Beckham’s models are mostly between 175 and 180 cm tall and usually wear a UK 6 in tailoring and dresses, XS in knitwear. Midi lengths will fall lower on a shorter frame.

Frequently asked questions

Is Victoria Beckham UK and US sizing?

UK sizing. A UK 8 is a US 4. Coveti lists every Victoria Beckham piece on the UK ladder.

Should I size up in Victoria Beckham?

Only in the styles the brand marks as running small, mainly the Kyra and Blaire dresses, some Bela colours and a few fitted knits. Everything else is true to size.

Do Victoria Beckham trousers run long?

Yes, by design. The Alina is cut to be worn with a heel, so on a shorter frame you may want to hem it.

What size is the model wearing?

Each product page at Coveti gives the model’s height and the size she is wearing, taken from the brand.
