Ha una taglia in su?

Do you have one size up?

Pronunciación

'In su' is spoken as two quick words: 'in SU' with stress on su. Don't run them together.

Cuándo usarla

After trying something that's too small. Italian sizing can run small in some brands, especially tailoring. Always worth asking.

Qué significa

'Una taglia in su' literally means 'one size upward'. 'In giù' would be 'down'. This is an idiomatic expression that can't be translated word-for-word.

Nota cultural

Italian tailoring distinguishes carefully between 'taglia' (overall size) and fit at specific points like 'spalle' (shoulders), 'vita' (waist), 'fianchi' (hips). Alterations are common and often offered in-store.
