An EU 38 dress size is a US 6 — but this is a labelling convention, not a measurement, so use it as a starting point rather than a guarantee.
EU dress sizes in this chart run from 32 up through 52, each corresponding to a US size roughly 32 lower (EU 38 → US 6, EU 44 → US 12). As with the US-to-EU direction, there's no underlying body measurement tying these numbers together — it's a convention, and conventions drift between brands.
If you're shopping across a US and a European brand, don't assume the same EU number means the same fit in both — check each brand's own size chart or measurements where available, and use this conversion only to pick a size to try first.

Clothing sizes are brand-assigned labels, not fixed measurements — use this as a starting point, not a guarantee.
An EU 38 is a US 6.
No — letter sizes vary even more by brand than numeric sizes do. This chart is for numeric US/EU dress sizes specifically.
Treat it as a starting point rather than a guarantee — vanity sizing means the same EU number can be cut differently from one brand to the next.
