What women's UK dress size would I be?

I’m a man looking to dress up as a woman for Halloween, probably a witch, devil woman or something similar. A pretty scary sight.

I’ve seen loads of costumes for sale in various sizes but have no idea what size I’d need. I don’t think it’s an exact thing as most costumes fit a couple of sizes, e.g. 14-16 but I need to get an idea of where to begin.

I’m 6′2", men’s medium size up top, 34" waist, 34" leg in trousers. Any idea what UK size or size range I should be looking at? Do the women’s sizes actually equate to anything in inches?

Alternatively, if anyone knows of any other good options to get around this size problem then I’m open to suggestions.
