When buying women's clothing in a traditional or online store, it is important to know exactly the parameters of your body. There are different dimensional grids, not every company provides information on them. Be aware that in individual tables the values ​​\u200b\u200bmay differ by several units, so it is important to make correct calculations in advance.

How to determine your clothing size correctly

Most domestic clothing manufacturers use the values ​​​​adopted by GOST back in Soviet time. When choosing a product in an online store, look at the indicated marking, determine how it corresponds to your parameters: it is important that things do not hinder movement and are comfortable to wear.

To find out the parameters of your body, measure your hips, waist, chest: bust circumference is needed when buying shirts, blazers, jackets, T-shirts, tops, waist circumference, hips - when purchasing leggings, leggings, jeans, trousers, shorts. Accurate measurements, calculations are carried out in underwear or thin things. Use the recommendations below:

  1. Chest - girth is the distance from one armhole to the other at bust level. When taking measurements, apply a tailor's tape to the following points: to the most protruding places of the breasts (nipples), under the muscle cavity. Behind the tape runs along the back, without sagging. When moving the centimeter up or down the cups of the bra, the value should not increase: for a correct calculation, it is better to slightly reduce the size. When determining the size, stand straight, do not slouch, do not straighten your shoulders too much.
  2. Waist - girth is determined by the line of the belt. When measuring, do not retract or dissolve the stomach, the body should be in a natural position. Remember that the belt line is not necessarily located at the level of the navel, often the natural curve is above or below the umbilical zone. The main task in this case is to find the smallest parameter.
  3. Hips - a centimeter is applied to the most protruding points of the buttocks. The tape should not sag, but if there is a stomach, then the necessary margin is made in front.

"Dumplings" should take measurements in a special way:

  • With your chest down, lift it up a little.
  • Find the waist line like this: tie a thin ribbon on your belt and move actively.
  • When determining the girth of the hips, do not pull in the stomach too much.

Russian dimensional grid of women's clothing

The characteristics of skirts, shorts, trousers, dresses, jackets, jackets contain the values ​​of the volumes of the chest, hips, waist with an average height of 163–170 cm. Sizes are divided into small, medium and large. The first category includes values ​​​​38-46, suitable for slender, thin women. The second group includes markings 48–50: for ladies of average build. The third category - 52-58 is characterized by relatively large parameters, therefore it is suitable for overweight, large women.

A common Russian scale includes values ​​​​from 38 to 56. The circumference of the waist, chest, hips is determined depending on the type of women's things (waist, shoulder, top). Before buying products, updating your wardrobe, use common table, which is applicable to any women's clothing:

Clothing size tables for women from different countries

Different countries present tables with different dimensional grids. Learn about their features:

  • International - remember the decoding of the Latin designations: L - large (48), S - small (44), M - medium (46). The marking on the left may contain the letter X (from English - extra): for example, XXS is equal to 40 Russian size, XS - 42, XL - 52, XXL - 54-56, XXXL - 58-60.
  • European sizes (most European countries - France, Spain, Germany, Sweden) - differ from domestic ones by 6 units. If the Russian value is 46, then subtracting 6 will get the European value - 40.
  • Italian - different from domestic by 2 units. If Russian size- 44, then Italian is 48.
  • English - is considered the most complex measurement system: the main values ​​\u200b\u200bare from 4 to 26. It is not easy to calculate the appropriate value on your own, so it is recommended to refer to the size comparison table or to the English size grid with the characteristics of chest, hips, waist for different sizes.
  • American - the tables show values ​​​​from 0 to 22. When selecting things from your Russian size, you need to subtract 38. So, for example, if you have a size of 44, then in the American marking it will be 6.
  • Chinese (with international designations) - almost all Asian clothing manufacturers are equal to these values. Many customers are familiar with the fact that Eastern countries they sew women's things that are small, so they should be bought 1-2 sizes larger.

Today we will talk about metric and stichmass markings. European shoe sizes and Russian shoe sizes correspond to each other with a slight amendment. Read more about all the nuances in this article.

European shoe size in Russian, table

All labeling systems listed in the table below are officially recognized.

  • Metric - foot length from tip thumb to the edge of the heel, in centimeters. The step of values ​​is 5 mm. Today it is used mostly for children's products.
  • RU (shtichmass) . These are the same designations that we are used to seeing in domestic stores. It is equally often used for both children's and adult models.
  • EU (European Stichmass). The grid is similar to the Russian one, only it goes 1 order less - this is clearly seen in the table below.

Correspondence of shoe sizes in Europe and Russia is shown in the table below.

Not all manufacturers differ in completeness of the model, and few people follow the GOST rules today, so this parameter is not indicated in the tables.

Dimensional grid of women's shoes, European and Russian

The differences from the men's grid here are only in the number of orders - in the women's they are 1 more - and in the lengths of the feet for which they are intended. And the parameters that define each position are the same for both men and women. The whole difference is in the pads of the models, but we are not talking about that today. This is how the ratio of shoe sizes (Europe and Russia) looks like in the "ladies'" version.

Everything said at the beginning of the article about the metric and mass calculation systems is also true for children's shoes. Below is a table for children from 0 years to adolescence. It ends at 36 (for a foot of 22 cm), but if your child's foot has outgrown this value, you can safely use the adult scale.

How to determine the correct parameters

The most important thing is to find the length of the foot. This is done like this:

  • We put a sheet of paper on the floor.
  • We put our foot on this sheet and transfer the weight to it. This transfer must be done without fail, because only in this position will the correct measurement be obtained.
  • We mark with dots the top of the thumb and the most protruding back part of the heel.
  • We measure the distance between points.

If you only need a metric measure, then you don’t need to do anything else, we use the results already obtained. And to convert from the metric system to RU (shtichmass) you need:

  • The number obtained after measurements is multiplied by 1.5.
  • Add 1.5 to the result. Ready.

These instructions apply to both the adult foot and the child's foot.

What is the difference between European shoe size and Russian

Metric system has no differences: in both cases, the unit is taken as the length of the foot in millimeters or centimeters (more often). Pitch - 0.5 cm. True for the indicated countries and note that metric values ​​​​are used primarily for children's models.

It is also necessary to clarify that the Russian and foreign shtihmass, although they are calculated according to the same principle, are not 100% the same. In other matters, this difference is even convenient - the transfer from system to system is elementary. How to determine the European size of shoes, knowing Russian: just add 1 to the first. reverse side- we subtract.

For example: European shoe size 38 is Russian what? We add 1 to 38, we get 39 - this is desired result.

Or else: 42 European size, what kind of Russian (shoes) is this? We add 1 to 42, it turns out 43 - done, we have completed the translation.

What is the size chart for?

In the era of online shopping, it is very important to be familiar with size charts and navigate them well. Why do you need it? Everything is simple so that shopping brings pleasure and joy, and not sadness and disappointment due to the fact that the thing is small or large enough that the whole family can be placed there.

Knowing your parameters, the measurements of the clothes you wear, and seeing the size table before your eyes, on the next page of the online store, you can easily choose the thing you need.

How to define your settings?

The only thing you need in order to decide on the right size- This is a measuring tape. If suddenly you don’t have this gadget of our mothers and grandmothers, then we will refine ourselves - take measurements with a thread, and only then measure how many centimeters are in it with a ruler.

So, the main parameters are: chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference.

Bust circumference, often referred to as "OG" on Russian-language sites or "bust" in European and Chinese online stores.

How to measure chest circumference correctly? The centimeter tape should pass along the most protruding points of the chest, while lying under the armpits, and from the back - at the protruding part of the shoulder blade.

Waist circumference is abbreviated as "OT" or in English online stores - "waist".

How to measure OT correctly? It is measured strictly along the waist line, not higher, somewhere under the chest, and not lower.

Hip circumference, abbreviated as "OB", on American sites - "hip" (less often "thighs").

How to measure the circumference of the hips? The centimeter tape should pass through the most protruding points thigh bones and buttocks.

It is also worth noting that sometimes you can come across such abbreviations as POG, POT, POB. Do not panic, these are all the same girths of the chest, waist and hips already familiar to you, only divided into two, that is, a half girth. For example, if the volume (OB) of the hips is 90 cm, then the half-circumference of the hips (POB) will be 45 cm.

An example of how to measure the circumference of the hips

How not to miscalculate with the size?

In order to correctly determine the size, you should follow a few rules:

- When taking measurements, in no case do not tighten the measuring tape tightly, do not pull in the stomach and do not strain the press, as all this can, but what’s there, will definitely distort the results, and you will get false readings.

— If, after you have taken your measurements, you clearly do not fall into the sizes presented on the website of the desired online store, but are somewhere in the middle, give preference to a larger size.

- Sometimes in size charts, in addition to girths, they also indicate the preferred height for a particular size, pay attention to it. For example, if a dress suits us in terms of OG, OT and OB, you are 155 cm tall, and it is recommended for a height of 175 cm, then most likely it will be long for you.

- Continuing the theme of growth, pay attention to the parameters of the models (they are often indicated on the page of the product being sold) on the catalog pictures and compare them with your own.

— If you want to make a purchase in an online store whose representative office is in your city, for example, the same Zara or H&M, then first go to an offline store and try it on there the right thing, see what size of this brand corresponds to your parameters and order it.

— When ordering outerwear, be it a jacket or a coat, it is best to focus not on the measurements of your body, but on the parameters of your existing item of this type. For example, if you need to buy a coat, then you take all the measurements not from yourself, but from the coat that hangs in your closet, of course, provided that it fits you well.

Size charts of different countries

In total, it is customary to distinguish between the following sizes:

- International. The only size indicated by letters: XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, etc.

— Russian. This Size chart denoted thus: 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, etc.

- English. This size is designated as UK. Size writing: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, etc.

— American. Its abbreviation is US. It is similar in spelling to English, but the parameters are completely different: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14.

- European. On websites you will recognize it under the letters EU. It is designated as follows: 32, 34, 36 38, 40, 42, 44, etc.

— Italian. Also referred to as two capital letters– E.I. This is what Italian sizes look like: 36, 38, 40.42, 44, etc.

Please note that the numbers in the size grid of different countries are similar, but they have different parameters, that is, for example, 38 Russian size is not equal to 38 European.

And in order not to get confused in all these letters, symbols and numbers, we need to use the size table, which will explain the necessary designations.

Below we have prepared for you a transcript of the main sizes in the form of those same tables.

Also keep in mind that each brand may have its own personal size, that is, if you have always worn, for example, size S, then things given size firms "123" (conditionally) can be small or large for you. And to prevent this from happening, on the brand's website it is worth familiarizing yourself with their dimensional grid in order to determine which one is ideal for you.

If you spend a little time and figure out the sizes, then your shopping will become much more pleasant!;)
