"Size 12" typically refers to a clothing size commonly used in women's fashion. In the United States, a size 12 generally corresponds to a bust measurement of 38 inches, a waist measurement of 30 inches, and hip measurements of 40 inches. This size is often considered to be in the "average" range for women's clothing. In the fashion industry, size 12 can vary between brands and styles, as sizing standards are not uniform. Some brands may label their clothing differently, leading to variations in fit. Additionally, plus-size fashion often includes size 12, as it is sometimes seen as a transitional size between standard and plus sizes.
