Answer 1

Your hip and bust measurement would be helpful also, but a 25 inch waist is generally a US size 2 or 4. However, because the sizes are so screwed up in the US, you could even be a size 0 or a size 6 in some stores. It's best to try a bunch of sizes and see what fits best.

HTH : )

Answer 2

The problem is this: Sizes in the US are not strictly based on measurements. A size 8 in one dress can have the same waist measurement as a size 6 in another brand or a size 10 in yet another brand. You just have to try a few sizes/brands to find what fits best. But you can never just assume that you will wear a 6 in everything.

Answer 3

The easiest thing to do is to go to a clothing store and try on different sizes to see what fits. The fashion industry here has no real standard sizes, a size 6 in one brand can be totally different than a size 6 in another brand. It's stupid, i know. Sorry, can't really tell you what your size might be, I would guess with a 25 inch waist a 4 or 6 might fit you, depending on how much you weigh. The easiest thing to do is just try on different sizes, good luck.

Answer 4

Unfortunitly here all brands of pants are made a little different. I can wear a 4 in some pants and a 8 in others. You should try a size 4. If your going for a stretchy pant go a size or two smaller. They tend to strech out. But basically the bigger the number the larger the pant :) Good luck I hope you like it here.

Answer 5

youd probably be a size 4!
