Hi tcstoy107,

There are no "correct" measurements for any given size. However, here
are the most proportional measurements for size 12:

BUST: 34in / 87cm

WAIST: 26.5in / 67cm

HIP: 36cm / 92cm

Best regards,

A good answer, Rainbow.

However, I think dress size depends on what country one is purchasing from.

I fit the measurements as outlined, but here in Canada I wear a size 7
in most clothes. When I go to the States, I usually get by on a size
9. Even my shoe size differs beteween size 6 here and size 7 in the
US.
