English term or phrase: "One size fits all"

This is a size for a t-shirt - there's size S, M, L and then there's "One size fits all" - does that mean "Einheitsgroesse"? Or how would you say this in German?

Universalgroesse

Explanation:
Siehe Google Suche fuer Beispiele, aber auch Einheitsgroesse geht, hoert sich aber fuer T-shirts vielleicht etwas zu formell an...
Ansonsten auch einfach in Englisch lassen, da sich diese Ausdruecke eingebuergert haben.
