For all other types of garment (even stockings and tights) the word taille is used, so a size 16 shirt is une chemise taille 40, etc.what size are you?= quelle taille faites-vous? or quelle pointure faites-vous?I take size 40 (in clothes)= je prends du 40 or je fais du 40I take a size 7 (in shoes)= je chausse du 40 or je fais du 40my collar size is 15= je porte un 38 or je porte du 38I’m looking for collar size 16= je cherche un 40his shoe size is 39= il chausse du 39a pair of shoes size 39= une paire de chaussures pointure 39have you got the same thing in a 16?= avez-vous ce modèle en 40?have you got this in a smaller size?= avez-vous ce modèle dans une plus petite taille (or pointure)? or avez-vous ce modèle en plus petit?have you got this in a larger size?= avez-vous ce modèle dans une plus grande taille (or pointure)? or avez-vous ce modèle en plus grand?they haven’t got my size= ils n’ont pas ma taille (or ma pointure) -
