I’m not sure how they’re determining the natural waist point to be beyond the last hole. The low hip point in the picture below indicates where the last factory made hole was for me – the 5th hole. The belt comes with only 5 holes (the shaded area) and the length in centimeters indicates the measurement from the tip of the buckle to about the third, or middle, hole. But most women have hips that are much wider than their natural waist. The only people that I can think of that won’t have a great difference between natural waist and hips are MEN! They’re straight up and down. There are people out there for whom that difference will be much bigger. And I’m not much of an hour glass figure. So the difference for me is at least 8 inches. In the US that mostly means that my natural waist is 30 inches (which it is, on a good day, haha). I’m a size 8/10 in pants, 29/30 in jeans.
That’s not much of a difference if you think about it. According to the chart, the difference between the low rise and high rise measurement is only 2 inches. The chart is helpful in determining your size but what it doesn’t tell you is that the belt will only fit one of those two measurements. There are two charts – one for hip measurement (low rise) and one for natural waist measurement (high rise).
However, I think they have made things even more confusing. Gucci have recently updated their belt sizing chart, possibly in an attempt to make it easier for consumers to decide on a size.
