Size L - what size is female in cm?

When choosing things, we constantly face the issue of determining our size. And, unfortunately, there is still no single size chart in the whole world. They vary depending on gender, from manufacturing companies, from the brand. Let's try to understand, the size L is what size is female for different countries and units.

Trying on before purchase is, of course, very important, but we live in the modern world, and many market containers and shopping centers have been replaced by online clothing stores around the world. You have to purchase goods in them without trying on, and in this case it is important not to make a mistake with the size of the thing. In addition, the types of female figures are different, because of which one and the same thing will either fit in size or not.

How to choose the right size?

To find out your size, you need to measure the main parameters. These are the circumference of the chest, waist, hips, shoulder width, length in cm along the sleeve. The accuracy of the result depends on the accuracy of your actions. Consider how to properly measure your body.

1. To measure the girth of the chest, you need to tightly attach the meter from the back, draw it through the armpits to the most prominent points of the chest.
   
2. We measure the waist in its very thin (narrow) section.
3. The hips should be grasped so that the most protruding points of the buttocks fall (the widest part of the thigh).
4. Shoulders are very easy to measure - a straight line from one to the other shoulder.
5. The sleeve length is correctly measured by the arm slightly bent at the elbow. The top point is where the shoulder connects to the arm, the bottom is the wrist.

Since there is no unified system of sizes in the world, in each selected store you must first look at the dimensional grid proposed there, then correlate the measurements with those indicated in the table, and only then choose things for your volumes. Knowing your exact values, you can safely buy clothes on the Internet.

International sizes

In the world, the sizes indicated by the letters of the English alphabet are considered more common. These are familiar to us all XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. Clothing less than XS is considered to be children's, and more than XXXL begins its own grid of sizes. The most common are the female sizes S, M, L - the golden mean, as they say.

We indicate in the table what volumes correspond to international sizes.

international	XS	S	M	L	XL	XXL	Xxxl
chest girth	80	84	88-92	96-100	104	110	116
waist circumference	60	66	70-74	78-82	86	92	98
hip girth	86	90	98	102-106	110	116	122

But do not forget that even generally accepted standards can allow a few centimeters of error.

Often there is a problem with translating the size L into Russian female. This also applies to other sizes. This is due to the fact that in the Slavic countries a slightly different system for measuring clothes is adopted. For Ukraine and Russia, sizes from 40 to 58 are most common. With such designations of sizes , all models of women's clothing are mainly produced. Things more or less than the proposed number will have to be found in special stores.

It is very simple to correlate the sizes of Russian with international - we will arrange the first and second in order and get the following result:

• XS - 40;
• S - 42;
• M - 44-46;
• L– 48-50;
• XL - 52;
• XXL - 54-56;
• XXXL - 58.

This is the norm for all manufacturers, but very few of them adhere to the above rules. That is why in any store and all manufacturers it is better to specify the dimensions in centimeters or inches (for reference: 1 inch = 2.54 cm).

Size L - what size is female?

The generally accepted size L (“L”) for the fair half is: chest circumference - 96-100 cm, waistline - 78-82 cm, hip circumference - 102-106 cm. But it is important to remember that Europe sews clothes a little more voluminously, and Asian countries are slightly less than normal.

Size L - what size is female Russian? In principle, most of our clothing manufacturers adhere to the generally accepted measurement system, therefore, focusing on the above volumes for size L, you can safely take things without trying on yourself.

Size L - what size is female for Europe? Some features appear here: firstly, the clothes will be slightly larger, and secondly, it is very important to take into account growth - this will also change the overall size of the selected wardrobe item. German L-Coy, for example, designates clothes for tall girls, whose height is more than 172 cm.

For America, there is a separate dimensional grid, all volumes and sizes are indicated in inches. Answering the question: "L - what is the size of women's clothing in the US?" - we get the answer: "14-16".

Each country has its own measures taken, therefore, choosing goods in foreign stores, you should carefully study the sizes offered there and only after a thorough check make any purchases.

Little tricks

The generally accepted sizes are, of course, good, but, let's not conceal a sin, very few women have perfect proportions. Quite often there are girls who have magnificent breasts and narrow hips or, conversely, small breasts and wide hips. Because of this, there are some difficulties when choosing clothes, especially if it is a dress or coat. Separating the bottom and top separately is much easier, but what kind of women's wardrobe can do without a beautiful cocktail dress or an item of warm winter clothes?

What to do? In fact, everything is not so difficult: when choosing a dress, one should give preference to combined options with a narrowed hem and a bat top.

Or a dress with a split under the chest and flared skirt. Stretch fabric will also help resolve difficulties.

When buying a coat, choose one that lies beautifully on the upper body, will be clearly on the chest, shoulders and back. And pay attention to how it will look on your hips - you don’t need to tighten them too much.
