Joseph Ribkoff Size Guide

Joseph Ribkoff size conversion for Australia

Joseph Ribkoff’s chart uses US sizing. The equivalent Australian size is two numbers higher: a Joseph Ribkoff US 12 corresponds to an Australian 14. Start with that conversion, then use your body measurements and the individual product’s fit notes to choose.

The table below brings the Australian conversion and Joseph Ribkoff’s body measurements together. These are body measurements, not finished garment measurements. The chart describes the label’s sizing; it does not mean every style is stocked in every size. Letter sizes cover more than one numerical size, so check the measurements rather than relying on the letter alone.

Measure before choosing your size

Use a flexible tape and keep it level without pulling tightly. Measure the fullest part of your bust, your natural waist and the fullest part of your lower hip. Compare those measurements with the chart, then read the garment’s details for its cut, fabric, lining and any stated fit advice.

For a fitted piece, allow for sitting and moving as well as standing. A familiar size is useful context, but the shape you choose and your preferred amount of room still matter.

Size guide FAQs

How do Joseph Ribkoff sizes convert to Australian sizes?

Joseph Ribkoff’s country conversion chart places the Australian size two numbers above the equivalent US size. For example, US 12 corresponds to Australian 14. Use that conversion as a starting point, then compare your body measurements with the chart and check the individual garment’s fit information before ordering.

Should I always buy a smaller Joseph Ribkoff size?

Choose from your measurements and the garment’s fit notes rather than applying a blanket rule to size down. A fitted woven dress and a relaxed knit can sit differently even when the labels match. Check the bust, waist or hip measurement most relevant to the garment, including any lining and fastening details.

Are the chart measurements body or garment measurements?

The chart gives body measurements in centimetres. It does not give the finished width or length of every garment. Use the product’s own measurements and description to assess its intended room, length and shape. A stretch fabric is one consideration, alongside the cut, lining and how you prefer clothes to fit.

How should I measure my bust, waist and hips?

Use a flexible tape and keep it level around your body without pulling it tight. Measure around the fullest part of your bust, your natural waist and the fullest part of your lower hip. Take the measurements in underwear or light clothing, and check the tape’s position in a mirror.

What should I do if I fall between two sizes?

Compare the measurements that matter most for the particular garment, then read its fit and fabric notes. For trousers, pay attention to the waist and hip; for a fitted dress, assess all three measurements. Consider your preferred room for movement and contact Weekends with the style details if you need help choosing.
