Clothing sizes....
So I entered a giveaway for a dress from Urkye and realized I have no clue on sizing. I looked at the measurements guide and I'm still lost. So HELP!!!! LOL
My waist is 29.5-30in and bust is 38-38.5in

1 inch ~= 2.54 cm.
30 * 2.54 = 76.2
38 - 30 = 8
8 * 2.54 = 20.3, which is basically exactly an 'o' in their system. (even your biggest potential difference, 38.5 - 29.5, is only halfway between an 'o' and an 'oo').
Cross-check: 38.5 * 2.54 = 97.8.
If their size chart and your measurements are both accurate, you need a 40o. Even with your biggest bust measurement, you're (slightly) closer to that than to a 40oo.
Caveat emptor: I've never bought from them, I'm just doing the math.
There's a guide in inches right below the one in centimeters (scroll down the page). You look for your waist size first, then find the bust size closest to yours. Your waist is closest to size 40 (29.9" in the size guide), so I'd start there. Your bust is in between o & oo (37.8" - 39.4"), so I'd say 40o/oo for stretchy items and 40o or 40oo for non-stretchy items (probably start with 40oo to make sure you have enough room). There are very few items on the website that AREN'T stretchy (like button down shirts), so you will likely go with the double size for most items.
If you find 40o/oo items are too big in the waist after you get them, you can sort of "sister size" down to 38oo/ooo for your next order. Also, you can email the shop and ask for sizing advice. They speak/write in English quite well.
