Size 6 measurements are equivalent to those of a medium size. Sometimes, size 6 to size 10 are also considered as medium but anything exceeding that, is considered as large and extra-large. However, if you are still not certain about your exact size then you can simply measure it with a measuring tape. For bustline, measure around the shoulder blade, over the fullest part of the breasts and by circling the shoulders from under the armpits, with help of the measuring tape. For waist measurements, find and measure your natural waistline and for hips, measure the fullest part of the hips. It is important to remember that there is a thin line of difference between the US, UK and the European measurements. To make it more simple, try UK size 8 if you are a perfect fit with the US size 6, and add 30 in your actual size range, when you want to go with the European measurements. For instance, US size 6 measurements are 36 in Europe.

As I said earlier, people still crave to get those perfect size 6 measurements, and they are worried about how to be a size 6. There is no single official size 6 diet that you can follow in order to get to size 6. Still, what you can do is to indulge in a healthy and balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. Rather than getting exhausted with petty eating, you can eat small meal portions 5 - 6 times, throughout the day. Most importantly, being happy and content with what you are, is all that matters. In my opinion losing health which is the most important aspect of life, just for the sake of a perfect figure is totally wrong.
