Ok, a present for a girl. Buying a bra and matching underwear (like, short kinda underwear).Thing is, I don't know the size I need for the underwear (UK sizes). Now, I know the size for the bra, the number is 30, and I know the dress size, which is 8. Now, would it be OK to assume therefore that the underwear should be a size 8? Are they all related slightly? I mean, I can deal with getting a size 8 and she's really a size 10 or even 12, but like if she's a 400 or something then I'm going to look like a bit of a mong really aren't I?So, if you could just confirm with an educated guess how far off I might be with the size, that would be great lol. Also... I can't find out her actual size, otherwise I would have.Thanks in advance though

Buying clothes without a fitting is a real gamble, because different clothes that are supposed to be the same size often aren't. (For women's clothes, it depends on how much the manufacturer lies - most size 8 dresses are really what was once size 12.)Most shops will exchange outer clothing if it's the wrong size, but underwear is a different matter, and there'll probably be no exchange. Really, you're going to have to bring her along, or give her a gift certificate to the naughty lingerie shop.

damned straight !
Julz wears a size 6, has since I met her, few weeks ago we went to buy her some new pants and now she wears a 4 even though she didnt gain or lose a pound or grow or shrink.
womens clothes are a gamble unless they are there to try them on, even if you know the size they should be. -
Just remember that US and UK sizes are different. UK size 8 is US size 6. a UK size 4 is a US size Zero, womens clothing doesent make much sense i know :PBest bet ask a girl friend of urs to guestimate what size ur gf is, or her friends may even know what size she is. To be honest though shes not gonna be in 'em for long and if they are litterally falling off her it'll save u a little work (assuming she doesent dump you coz you thought she was fatter than she is), also buying too small will make her feel fat.You best get it spot on or ur toast.
-
you mean buying them too big will make her feel fat because it will make her feel like shes as big as what he bought.
either way it can make her feel like shit. i know id feel like shit if it were too big or small. id feel fat either way. hell, i feel fat anyway.
