Russian sizes of women's and children's clothing (table)

Women love to pamper themselves with new clothes, but more often! Sometimes it turns into something similar to a cult called shopping. With its help, the fair sex relieves stress, increases the hormones of joy and happiness in your body and updates the wardrobe, becoming even more beautiful. But so much time sometimes these pleasant activities take! Our century allows us to reduce losses on trips to shopping centers, providing online shopping services. However, when purchasing clothes through the World Wide Web, you need to navigate and understand international and Russian sizes.

Measure thrice

In order to make purchases through convenient services, it is not enough to find the inexpensive item you like from a reliable seller. The most important thing is to make accurate measurements of yourself and compare them with the dimensional grid provided by the store.

Measurements are carried out using a soft "centimeter" - a measuring tape of a seamstress.

The length of the sleeve is fixed on the outside of the arm with a slight bend.

To determine the volume of the chest, the girth is measured by its most convex parts.

Hips are measured according to the same principle - it is necessary to grasp the buttocks and femur. If there is a tummy, it is important to consider it too.

Waist is measured by the waist.

Leg length - on the outside from the waist to the bottom of the foot.

Head circumference is determined by its widest part.

When buying outerwear, you need to pay special attention to the width of the armholes, shoulders and chest, adding 2-4 cm to your actual measurements.

It is better to use the help of a loved one. It is necessary to measure carefully, without underestimating the performance, for example, retracting the abdomen, but also not overstating them. The parameters of the Russian sizes in the corresponding tables are mainly limited by the volume of the chest, waist and hips, the data obtained are divided in half. For example, the hip circumference is 90 cm, which means that the width of the trousers along the hips will be approximately equal to 45 cm.

Russian standards

The market economy and its corresponding competition determine the existence of various dimensional grids. Russian sizes of women's clothing are marked with numbers from 40 to 66. Domestic producer most often seeks to comply with the specified value. However, it is always necessary to take into account the deviation of the actual from the theoretical by 0.5-1 cm.

Before placing an order according to the parameters provided on the site, it is advisable to contact the seller and request more detailed measurements.

Foreign standards

Each country has its own dimensional correspondence. And various manufacturers within each of them allow their own characteristics. So, the European clothing numbering system is characterized by restrictions from 34 to 52, the American - from 6 to 24. At the same time, there is a tendency to exaggerate the actual value in relation to the theoretical one. This gradation is not arbitrary, and parametric grids have a standard dependence. In order to determine the size within the framework of the American system, it is necessary to subtract the European from the Russian “value”.

In order to bring the general “confusion” to a single principle of marking, an international letter system was invented in which the minimum size is designated XS, and the maximum - XXXL and even XXXXXXL (in the so-called battle sizes).

Very often, confusion occurs precisely between the domestic and European grids, since the marking is very similar. It is important to remember that the difference between each of the sizes is 6 units. That is, 42 European - this is 48 CIS countries, and 52 corresponds to 58 of ours. Russian women's sizes are more understandable to us, since they are directly related to the well-known GOST, however, we need to roughly orient ourselves in international systems and their mutual correspondence.

About China

Chinese manufacturers are popular in the market for goods of various categories. The quality of things has improved markedly, and prices remain affordable. The question is small - the right size. We can say for sure that tall women with parameters greater than L are unlikely to be lucky. But “inches” and girls of medium shapes can safely order clothes, but with the mandatory observance of elementary rules:

• checking the reliability of the seller, increased attention to reviews;
• the exact ratio of own measurements to the provided dimensional grid, if possible, clarify and remember that wardrobe items from the Chinese manufacturer most often are small in size by several units;
• Do not forget to consult about the length of the sweater or top, so that when all other important parameters are taken into account, you will not get into trouble.

Choose underwear

Beautiful panties and bras are an absolute must for every woman. Necessary initial measurements:

• girth under the chest;
• breast volume in the most convex parts;
• hips
• cup size (every woman should know from previous purchases).

In bras, Russian sizes are not much different from foreign ones. The product indicates the volume under the chest and the size of the cup from A to G. So, the most common are 65A, 70A, 75B, 80C, 85D. Other variations depend on the wishes of the client regarding planting, visualization of the bust and the individual body structure.

With panties a different situation. So the Russian 42 (for a volume of 85 cm), aka XS, corresponds to the specified 38 French, 8 - British; 46 (95 cm), M - 42 French and 12 - British; 50 (105 cm), XL - 46 FR, 16 - UK. The origin is indicated by the corresponding abbreviation: GM - Germany, FR - France, UK - Great Britain.

It is important to take measurements on a naked body, obviously do not reduce, but do not exaggerate your parameters. Panties that are small for you will create extra folds on the body, as well as the bodice.

Dress legs

Jeans, trousers, sweatpants can also be purchased using the available online shopping resources. However, the dimensional parameters here are slightly different. Panties are numbered from 24 to 36 sizes.

Thus, to purchase pants on the Internet you need to know:

• hip girth;
• leg length;
• landing - height from the waist to the groin.

It is very convenient to choose leggings, sweatpants, jeans. Most often, sites provide quality products at a more affordable price than stores.

Dress up kids

Wearing kids is a real pleasure. The market provides a huge selection of very beautiful and fashionable children's things. Acquiring them on the Internet is quite simple, especially when it comes to children under the age of 7-10 years. The purchase of things must be accompanied by the same rules:

1. Measurements of the child: height, weight, girth of the chest, hips, leg length, foot size. Often these characteristics are enough. If the baby is plump, it is rational to purchase things at least one size larger.
2. The sellers have another important parameter - the length of the step seam - the distance from the groin to the lowermost inner point of the leg.
3. Comparison of the obtained values ​​with the seller’s dimensional grid.
4. It is necessary to take into account the dynamics of growth. Usually things are chosen with a margin of 1-2 sizes for the smallest and one for the older.
5. When purchasing outerwear, it is important to measure the width of the armholes, as well as add 2-3 cm to the actual measurements, given that jackets and overalls will be worn on several layers of clothing in the cold season.

Russian children's sizes are often numbered in relation to growth, starting from 50 cm.

50 - 0 months; 56 - 1-2 months; 62 - 3 months; 68 - 4-6 months; 74 - 6-9 months; 80 - 1 year; 86 - 18 months; 92 - 2 years; 98 - 3 years; 104 - 3-4 years; 110 - 4-5 years; 116 - 5-6 years; 122 - 6-7 years; 128 - 7-8 years; 134 - 8-9 years old; 140 - 10 years.

Other gradations are also known between 18 and 38 sizes.

These systems are indicative and depend on the individual characteristics of the baby's body, the intensity of its development and the wishes of the parents. It is even important that many manufacturing companies within one country can both slightly overestimate the compliance with the indicated figure and “be small-sized." That is why it is so important to verify other parameters.

Choosing baby clothes correctly

In order not to miscalculate with the little things and so that the children have time to vilify their desired period of time, you need to carefully consider your choice. So, many mothers like to buy things for growth with a stock of stable 2 units. This is especially true for babies - they grow very fast, move a little. The sliders of size 62 are perfect for a baby 58 cm tall, if you fix them with socks. The blouse sleeves can be tucked up. It is even more convenient if the clothes have cuffs with elastic bands, in which case the actual exaggeration of things will not cause inconvenience.

When choosing sliders, vests, panties, blouses and suits for small children, it is enough to focus on growth features.

For older children, the choice is made taking into account the parametric features of the body, namely weight, chest, waist and hips. The designation of baby sprouts abroad is limited mainly by two options: letters or an exact indication of age. The letter marking has a system from XXS to L. It is indicated for things on children from 2 years. For little people write age.

We choose hats, socks and tights

Hats are selected in accordance with the circumference of the baby's head. Newborns have a girth of about 35-36 cm, it is also the starting value. Manufacturers indicate age or corresponding volume value.

The size gradation among socks and tights takes into account the length of the foot and the height of the child. Tights are indicated by the range: 62-68, 74-80, 86-92, 98-104, 110-116, 122-128, etc. At the same time, it is good to know the features of fabrics and tailoring of a particular manufacturer. If the material has a tendency to “sit down” after washing, you need to pre-purchase a model 1 size larger than what is needed in this size. Socks are marked from 10, which corresponds to a sole length of 9-10 cm.

Of course, the choice of socks and tights is not as responsible as, for example, dresses or winter overalls. Nevertheless, it is difficult for inexperienced parents to take into account the peculiarities of the baby's growth and make the right decision.

If you confidently navigate the sizes and size nets, know your parametric characteristics of the body, use the services of reliable and trusted sellers, you can easily purchase things without trying on and be satisfied with purchases.
