Very often there is a desire to order a thing using virtual services. But then doubts arise that a size error is possible. After all, changing a thing is unlikely to succeed. In fact, everything is very simple, you just need to understand how the sizes relate to each other and correctly calculate their parameters.
Correct measurements
In order to accurately find out your parameters, you should use a conventional centimeter tape:
- When determining the girth of the chest, you need to measure its most prominent points.
- In the same way, the volume of the hips is revealed - by the protruding places.
- Waist circumference should be measured without tightening it too much.
- Growth is calculated from the back of the head to the feet.
- The length of clothing is determined from the place where the neck and shoulder connect.
To find out the Russian parameters of clothing sizes, they are guided by half the volume of the chest. The tape should not be too tightened or allowed to sag. Having made the measurements, it is necessary to divide the obtained value into two and the ratio of Russian clothing numbers will be clarified. For example, if the result is 96 centimeters, then the figure corresponds to 48 things. Having made all the necessary calculations, you can easily pick up things, taking into account the features of your figure.
Half of the body girth is used to determine the parameters of individual wardrobe items:
- For the sizes of skirts, trousers and shorts, hips are measured.
- In order to choose the right t-shirts, dresses, jackets and tops, you should know the volume of the chest.
- For swimwear, you need to determine the circumference of the chest and the area under it.
- To determine the numbers of trousers, dresses and suits, you need to use a growth indicator.
How do clothing sizes compare?
In any country, there is a dimensional grid for things. For example, in Germany and America, clothing sizes are larger than in Russia. The European standard is considered international. In almost all European countries (for example, Italy, France, Spain, England and others), the dimensional grid of things corresponds to the Russian value.
Latin letters that indicate the ratio of European and Russian clothing sizes:
- 40 sizes indicate XXS;
- 42 has the designation XS;
- 44 are referred to as Small;
- 46 is considered Medium;
- 48 is the size of Large;
- 52 - consider XL;
- sizes 54 to 56 indicate XXL;
- from 58 to 60 will be XXXL.
Now consider the ratio of clothing sizes in the USA and Russia, as well as European indicators:
- Russia - 38;
- Europe - 32;
- Italy - 36;
- England - 4;
- USA - 4;
- and further respectively: 40-34-38-6-6, 42-36-40-6-6, 44-38-42-8-8, 46-40-44-12-12, 48-42-46- 14-14, 50-44-48-16-16, 52-46-50-18-18, 54-48-52-20-20, 56-50-54-22-22, 58-52-56- 24-24, 60-54-58-26-26, 62-56-60-28-28, 64-58-62-30-30, 66-60-64-32-32, 68-62-66- 34-34.
Dimension grid in centimeters and latin values
If the number of things is unknown, then it is recognized very simply: all grids with parameters include certain values in centimeters for chest volume, hips and height. Further, a table of the ratio of clothing sizes is shown, which determines these indicators and helps to find out suitable item numbers:
| Latin letter | S | M | L | XL | XXL |
| Russia | 44 | 46 | 48 | fifty | 52 |
| Chest (centimeters) | 88 | 92 | 96 | 100 | 104 |
| Hips (centimeters) | 96 | 100 | 104 | 108 | 112 |
| Height, cm | below 164 | 164-170 | 170-176 | 176-182 | above 182 |
Children's options
The ratio of height and size of clothing for children is explained through the table below.
| Height | 86 cm | 104 cm | 116 cm | 128 cm | 140 cm | 152 cm | 154 cm |
| Age | 2 years | 4 years | 6 years | 8 years | 10 years | 12 years | 14 years |
| USA | Xxxs | XXS | XS | S | M | L | XL |
Things for men: finding the right indicators
The size ratio of men's clothing should be carried out, armed with a measuring centimeter. Next, you need to determine the volume of the chest in the armpits, the girth of the neck, thighs and waist. You also need to know the length of the arms and legs and the width of the shoulders. But measurements alone are not enough - it’s important in appearance to evaluate your body shape, weight and height.
There are 4 body types that you need to consider:
- Size N is designed for a standard figure taller than 162 centimeters.
- Size B is clothing for men who have a small tummy and height over 162 cm. This indicator plays a big role in choosing trousers and jeans.
- Size S - suitable for thin men with a height of 179 cm.
- Size U - such things are suitable for men with a standard figure and with a height lower than 162 cm.
The ratio of clothing sizes in different countries is shown in the table.
| Latin marking | XS | S | M | L | XL | XXL | Xxxl |
| Chest, in centimeters | 86/96 | 96/101 | 96/106 | 101/116 | 116/137 | 137/142 | - |
| Waist, Centimeters | 71/73 | 73/83 | 76/86 | 83/94 | 94/111 | 111/119 | - |
| Russia | 42 | 44/46 | 46/48 | 48/50 | 50/52 | 54/56 | 58/60 |
| USA | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38/39 | 42 | - |
| Europe | 44 | 46 | 48 | fifty | 52/54 | 56/60 | - |
Sizes of jeans trousers
The usual standards do not apply to jeans. The main parameters when choosing them are height, length of the inner seam and waist size.
The sizes of jeans trousers are considered as follows:
| The size | Inseam | Height |
| thirty | 72-78 centimeters | 170-174 centimeters |
| 32 | 78-84 centimeters | 174-178 centimeters |
| 34 | 84-90 centimeters | 178-182 centimeters |
| 36 | over 90 | 182-186 centimeters |
Underwear: dimensional grid
In the USA and Russia, such products have differences. The Russian main criterion for determining size is the volume of the breast, which is divided in half. For example, with a girth of 92 cm, linen will be numbered 46. The Russian 42nd size corresponds to the eighth American, and further: 44-10, 46-12, 48-14, 50-16, 52-18, 54-20 , 56-22.
For magnificent ladies
Some parameters are considered higher than standard and belong to things from size 50 to 70. The maximum is 72. These products are made for ladies who are overweight or tall. The main criteria that determine the size, consider the volume of the chest and hips. Often a non-standard figure is distinguished by a mismatch of the determining parameters, and then things should be selected of such a number, which is determined by the largest girths.
Chest (centimeters) / hips (centimeters) / size: 99 / 102-109 / 112-50, 103 / 106-113 / 116-52, 107 / 110-117 / 120-54, 111 / 114-122 / 126- 56, 115 / 118-127 / 130-58, 119 / 122-132 / 135-60, 123 / 126-137 / 140-62, 127 / 130-142 / 145-64, 131 / 134-147 / 150- 66, 135 / 138-152 / 156-68, 139 / 142-157 / 160-70. This table will help ladies with the selection of many items of clothing.
Choose trousers, shorts and skirts
When choosing such outfits, the main criteria are the volume of the hips and waist. Growth is also important, but not critical, because with an excess product length, it can be corrected. This parameter is needed so that short skirts or trousers are not bought. The Russian standard corresponds to the international classification, but differs from the dimensional grid of Europe and America.
Outerwear
It includes jackets, coats, sweaters, coats, jackets. Such clothes are sewn using standard measurements. The required product number is calculated based on height, chest, hips and waist. The ratio of clothing sizes is consistent with international letter classification.
Dresses
In Russia, they are made on the basis of the dimensions of the figure, taking into account the growth, volume of the chest, hips and waist. Many manufacturers of these products also take into account the length of the sleeves.
Swimwear and underwear
Russian marking corresponds to European sizes. They take into account the number and size of the cup, as well as the volume measured under the breast. In France and Italy, such products are labeled differently, similar to how they are done in the USA and Australia. The indicators also depend on the model of the swimsuit: it can be single or separate. There are four parameters by which the ratio of the sizes of clothes for swimming is determined - girth of the chest, volume under it, measurements of the waist and hips.
Shoes: the nuances of choice
In Russia, the size is determined by the length of the foot. Other countries use the insole in inches or centimeters as this parameter.
The systems by which shoes are numbered are fundamentally different in different countries:
- The standard is international. The foot length is taken as the shoe number. It is measured from the heel to the protruding finger - the shape of the pad does not matter. This system is also used in Russia.
- English system - measured on the insole. The smallest number in this system is zero and equals four inches. A newly born baby has just such a foot size.
- European system - in it the length is determined by the insole. As a unit of measure, a pin appears, which is 6.7 mm. As a rule, the length of the insole is longer than that of the foot by about 1 cm.
- The American system is similar to the English.
It is important to remember that the most ideal option when choosing shoes is fitting. And then, knowing the size and choosing a favorite manufacturer, you can safely place orders.
Recommendations
Owners of short stature should take into account the length of the sleeves and back, so that the model that fits perfectly on the owner is correctly selected. When ordering children's clothing, remember that kids grow up quickly, so it's best to take a thing with a small margin. Pay particular attention to the products of Asian countries, because they have almost all products that are one or two smaller than Russian ones.
When ordering clothes in online stores, you should ask a consultant about the size grid. They will provide detailed information about the model that has attracted attention. Also, many specialized sites are equipped with a calculator that automatically translates all the necessary parameters.
