Sizing conventions vary by brand and by cut — this table shows the standard published conversion. Always check the garment's own size chart when one is available. See how these tables are compiled.
A UK 14 skirt maps to a US 10. Skirts share their sizing scale with dresses on this site's tables, so if you already have a dress conversion memorized for the same two sizes, it applies here without needing a separate lookup.
Because a fitted pencil skirt has far less tolerance for a size miss than an A-line or full skirt, checking the brand's own hip measurement matters more for a pencil cut than for a flared style at the same converted size.
Frequently asked questions
Does skirt cut affect how much this size conversion matters?
Yes — a close-fitting pencil skirt needs an accurate hip match far more than an A-line or full skirt, which has built-in flare that tolerates a size miss more comfortably.
