This statistic shows the results of a survey conducted in 2017 in which adults in Great Britain were asked which women's clothing size they thought was the rough equivalent of a large size, broken down by age. Respondents in younger age categories were more likely to think of smaller dress sizes as the equivalent of a large size, with 21 percent of 18 to 24 year olds considering size 14 as 'large', compared to just 4 percent of those aged 65 years and older.
