Content

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 size charts, and not every company provides information on them. Be aware that in individual tables the values may differ by several units, so it is important to make correct calculations in advance.

How to correctly determine your clothing size

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 labeling and determine how well it corresponds to your parameters: it is important that the items do not hinder movement and are comfortable to wear.

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

Chest - girth is the distance from one armhole to the other at bust level. When taking measurements, apply the tailor's tape to the following points: to the most protruding places of the breasts (nipples), under the muscle cavity. At the back, the tape runs along the back, without sagging. When moving the centimeter up or down the bra cups, the value should not increase: for correct calculation, it is better to reduce the size a little. When determining the size, stand straight, do not slouch, or straighten your shoulders too much.
Waist - girth is determined by the belt line. When measuring, do not pull in or open your 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 located above or below the umbilical area. The main task is to find the smallest parameter.
Hips - a centimeter is applied to the most protruding points of the buttocks. The tape should not sag, but if there is a belly, then the necessary margin is made in front.

“Cumpies” should take measurements in a special way:

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

Russian size chart for women's clothing

The characteristics of skirts, shorts, trousers, dresses, jackets, jackets contain values of chest, hips, waist volumes with an average height of 163–170 cm. Sizes are divided into small, medium and large. The first category includes sizes 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 suitable for plump, large women.

The common Russian scale includes values from 38 to 56. The girth of the waist, chest, hips is determined depending on the type of women's clothing (waist, shoulder, upper). Before purchasing products or updating your wardrobe, use the general table that applies to any women’s clothing:

Size according to GOST	Waist(cm)	Chest (cm)	Hip circumference (cm)

Tables of clothing sizes for women of different countries

Different countries provide tables with different sizing grids. Find out 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 Russian size 40, 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, you get the European value - 40.
Italian - differs from domestic by 2 units. If Russian size is 44, then Italian size is 48.
English - is considered the most complex measurement system: the main values are from 4 to 26. It is not easy to calculate the appropriate size yourself, so it is recommended to refer to the size comparison table or to the English size chart with the characteristics of the chest, hips, and waist girth for different sizes.
American - the tables show values from 0 to 22. When selecting things, you need to subtract 38 from your Russian size. So, for example, if you have size 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 in Eastern countries women's clothes are made in small sizes, so they should be bought 1-2 sizes larger.

Basic size chart

When selecting women's sweaters, blouses, T-shirts, dresses, sweaters, measure the volume of the chest, waist, hips. Check out the basic size chart for adults:

	Bust (cm)	Waist(cm)	Hip circumference (cm)	International size
Low – 150–160



Average – 160–168


Above average – 168–175


High – 175 and above

Outerwear

At the time of buying women's jackets, down jackets, coats, raincoats, especially pay attention to the circumference of the hips. Take measurements while wearing the sweater. If the final parameters indicate 2 adjacent values (for example, 42 and 44), then purchase things with a larger designation. Less value will do ladies with narrow shoulders. When determining sizes, use the following size table:

	Chest (cm)	Waist(cm)	Hip circumference (cm)	International size
Low – 150–160



Average – 160–168


Above average – 168–175


High – 175 and above

Pants, shorts and skirts

Important parameters when selecting women's trousers, shorts, skirts are hip and waist circumference. In the table below compare Russian, English, American, international values:

	Waist(cm)	Hip circumference (cm)	International size
Low – 150–160



Average – 160–168


Above average – 168–175


High – 175 and above

Women jeans

This option women's clothing is selected in a special way. Many manufacturers recommend focusing on a separate size chart:

	Waist(cm)	Hip circumference (cm)	Great Britain	International size
Low – 150–160




Average – 160–168





Above average – 168–175



High – 175 and above

Underwear

It is often very difficult for women to choose a bra or swimsuit without first trying them on. The following size chart will be useful.

Knowing your dimensions greatly simplifies the process of purchasing any wardrobe item. Russian Size chart women's clothing is determined by GOST. It has a small step - and this is a plus, and the average ratio of parameters for each value is a minus. However, the grids of other countries are compiled according to the same principle.

General table of clothing sizes for women, Russia

For each type of clothing - waist, shoulder and top - there are different values for determining the size. But there is also a general table that generally applies to each type. It is perfect for loose fitting models and items made of stretchy fabrics - that is, where great precision is not needed.

Women's sizes clothing, table (Russia) for all types of products:

Hips, cm	Waist, cm	Chest, cm	Size
84-90	60-65	74-80	40

How to determine your parameters

You need to measure the circumference of the chest, waist and hips, and then find the Russian size of women's clothing that suits your parameters in the table. A couple of nuances:

In the process of taking measurements, do not tighten the measuring tape; it should only fit snugly to the body.
We measure the chest while inhaling, and when measuring the waist, we do not pull in the stomach or inflate it.
If we are talking about purchasing something made from non-stretchy/poorly stretchable fabric, it is better to use the sizing chart that corresponds to the type of product. Below we provide all the necessary tables

Shoulder products

This includes all things that cover the upper body and rest on the shoulders: jackets, blouses, turtlenecks, boleros, pullovers, shirts, sundresses, dresses, jumpers, vests, etc. Table Russian sizes shoulder women's clothing:

Size	Waist, cm	Chest, cm	Hips, cm
40	58-62	78-82	84-88
42	62-66	82-86	88-92
44	66-70	86-90	92-96
46	70-74	90-94	96-100
48	74-78	94-98	100-104
50	78-82	98-102	104-108
52	82-86	102-106	108-112
54	86-90	106-110	112-116
56	90-94	110-114	116-120
58	94-98	114-118	120-124

If the size of the item is indicated:

For a standard figure, you need a model with parameters that match your height.
For a long waist, choose a slightly larger size. For example, if you are 160 cm tall, you should start trying on a model that says “165-170 cm” and not “155-160 cm”.

There are no universal tables of Russian clothing sizes with sizes for women for one simple reason: each manufacturer has its own patterns. Therefore, the buyer can only find out (experimentally) which brand fits best.

Note: This advice may not work with models that have long sleeve. Therefore, in such cases, it is worth taking 2 products into the fitting room at once - your size and a larger one, to see which one fits better.

Belt products

These are any items that cover the lower part of the body, resting on the hips or waist. These include: skirts, trousers, shorts, jeans, etc. Here, the most important parameter in determining the size of women's clothing (Russia) is hip circumference. That is, if after measurements it becomes clear that one size fits the waist and another size fits the hips, we focus on the hips.

Russian clothing sizes for women, table for belt products:

Size	Hips, cm	Waist, cm
38	82-84	54-58
40	84-88	58-62
42	88-92	62-66
44	92-96	66-70
46	96-100	70-74
48	100-104	74-78
50	104-108	78-82
52	108-112	82-86
54	112-116	86-90
56	116-120	90-94
58	120-124	94-98
60	124-128	98-102
62	128-132	102-106
64	132-136	106-110
66	136-138	110-114
68	138-142	114-116
70	142-146	116-120

Note: Each manufacturer uses its own patterns to create patterns. That is, a product modeled according to the standard Russian sizing chart for women’s clothing fits the figure differently for each brand. It always makes sense to look for the one that suits you. In some cases, the features of the “landing” can even be seen from the photo.

Everything that is worn on top

Here we are talking about jackets, windbreakers, coats - that is, about everything that is worn over suits, dresses, sweaters, turtlenecks, trousers, etc. The priority parameter for determining the size, as for waist products, is the circumference of the hips. The chest and waist circumference may not fully correspond to the table.

Size	Hips, cm	Waist, cm	Chest, cm
40	84-87	31-63	74-77

Important: measurements for autumn and winter items should be taken on a sweater of the maximum thickness that is intended to be worn under this item of clothing.

Have a look, it will be useful.

This information will help you easily learn how to measure your figure. In special tables you can find your size outerwear, trousers, skirts and jeans in all generally accepted classifications.

Every woman simply must know her body shape. When ordering clothes from the Internet or visiting a store, this knowledge will become a real lifesaver. Moreover, taking measurements will not take much time, and while shopping it will help you focus not on the waist circumference or sleeve length, but on the color of the new thing and its design.

Measuring your body parameters is easy

Right four will help simple rules:

Take measurements in thin clothing that does not distort your figure.
The centimeter should fit well to the body, but not be too tight or loose.
To make the measurement easier, you can ask another person for help.
You need to stand straight and relax as much as possible.

Basic measurements can be as follows:

Waist circumference you need to measure at the narrowest part (located between the ilia and lower ribs), your arms should be relaxed and lowered. Measurements are taken horizontally, parallel to the floor. Do not pull in your stomach.

Bust It is also measured horizontally and parallel to the floor, the centimeter crosses the most protruding points of the chest, armpits and then the shoulder blades. The measurement is taken while exhaling.

Hip girth determined by the most protruding place; if the stomach is at the same level, you need to measure along with it. It is better to take several measurements in a row - the largest value is the correct result.

The length of the sleeve measured from the expected shoulder seam to the desired length or wrist along the upper edge of the arm.

Have you decided to sew yourself? Check out GOST!

Dress with taste, carefully selecting every element of the wardrobe, be a role model, shock, attracting admiring glances is the dream of all fashionistas. But among a large number of things, sometimes even exclusive ones, it is very, very difficult to find “yours.” Especially if you have a non-standard figure. In this case, the ability to sew yourself will be very useful.

And in other cases it won’t hurt - it’s convenient, and it can also become a good hobby, inspire and delight.

If you feel the strength and desire to start sewing at an amateur level, then your reference books should certainly become not only various tutorials on cutting and sewing, but also state standards.

What is it for? GOST, as a technical passport for washing machine. To wash this or that item, you can run any program, relying only on advice on the Internet, but you need to be prepared for the fact that the result may be disappointing: the item will not wash or the equipment will fail.

To prevent this from happening, it is better to use proven instructions prepared by experts in their field.

And let after 2011, compliance with GOSTs in Russian Federation has become optional (now they are in the nature of recommendations), there are still many useful information.

GOST 31396-2009

All sizes accepted in Russia are reflected in GOST 31396-2009 “Classification of typical female figures by height, size and weight groups for clothing design.”

The document describes typical female figures according to parameters such as height, size and weight groups, for the purpose of designing clothing (material - textiles, fur and leather). The standard itself consists of the following main sections:

measuring;
measurement methods;
determination of the typical figure of a woman;
classification .

The State Standard reveals such an important concept as anthropometric points - starting points for a number of measurements (“4.2 Anthropometric points"). For the convenience of users, they are all illustrated, and methods for determining them are given in special tables.

The methodology for determining dimensional characteristics and their measurement is also reflected in the table and figure (“4.3 Dimensional characteristics. Measurement program»).

In paragraph 5 “Definition of the typical figure of a woman” This GOST tells us by what dimensional characteristics the typical figure of a woman is determined, how many typical figures and fat groups this document establishes. Paragraph 6 provides a classification of typical female figures in table form.

It came into force as a standard on 01.07.2010.

For shirts, jackets, jumpers, and outerwear, the main parameter is chest circumference.
For trousers, the necessary parameters are waist and hip circumference.

How to measure your parameters

Chest girth - a measuring tape runs along the most protruding points of the chest, then under the armpits, and a little higher on the back. Waist circumference - measured strictly along the waist line. On any figure, this is the area around the navel. Hip circumference - a measuring tape passes along the most protruding points of the buttocks.

How we measure things

Chest circumference - the distance at chest level under the armholes. Waist circumference - the distance at the level of the upper cut in belt products for men. Hip circumference - the distance at the level of the protruding points of the buttocks. Front Length - Measured from the front from the highest point of the shoulder across the chest to the bottom of the garment. Back length - measured from the seventh cervical vertebra along the mid-back line to the bottom of the product. Sleeve length - measured along the outside of the sleeve from its top to the bottom. Sleeve length from neck - measured from the base of the neck or collar to the bottom of the sleeve. Inseam length of the trousers - measured along the inseam of the trousers from the crotch to the bottom. Shorts length - measured in centimeters from the top seam to the bottom of the product.

For your convenience, the size chart for light and outerwear is given in sizes from different manufacturing countries.

Beautiful and fashion clothes- this is not only a necessity, but also a kind of hobby for many women who adhere to a certain style and do not want to lag behind fashion. But women's clothing should not only be stylish, but also fit properly. In order to feel comfortable in fashionable outfit, you need to know your clothing size.

Clothing imported into our country from abroad, in old times re-labeled according to domestic standards. Therefore, it was usually not difficult for customers to quickly determine what size clothes were available in the assortment and what to take with them to the fitting room. In Russia - and first throughout the USSR - the size of women's clothing was indicated by two numbers corresponding to the half-circumference of the chest. Patterns have always been made taking into account the characteristics of a standard figure. This marking is still used today when decorating a sales area, sorting and hanging clothes by size. On the price tags of domestic models, if necessary, the full girth of the chest, hips and the numerical expression of height are indicated. These are the standards for designating clothing sizes - women's, men's and children's.

Features and differences of sizing charts in different countries

Later, the Russian buyer became acquainted with other types of markings: British, American, European, some Asian, and in general became accustomed to them, since sellers are much more often asked questions today about women’s clothing, the size of which is indicated by one letter rather than by numbers.

The European standard for letter designation is officially considered international.
This:

L - large - large;
M - middle - average;
S - small - small.

Sometimes there are markings S/M and M/L, corresponding to transitional sizes.

To designate sizes larger than 48 and smaller than 44, the letter X - extra is used. It is added only to sizes L and S on the left and means a decrease in the small and an increase in the large size:
XL - 52;
XXL - 54-56;
XS - 42;
XXS - 40 and so on.

The size of women's clothing in most European countries, as well as Turkey, corresponds to Russian ones.

The American size differs from the Russian one by 34 on the smaller side, that is, the Russian 44 is the American 10.
European sizes are 6 smaller than Russian ones, for example, European 46 is Russian 52.
French sizes have the following meaning:
T1 - S;
T2 - M;
T3 - L;
T4 - XL;
T5 - XXL;
T6 - XXXL.
But Chinese-made products are sometimes labeled very unpredictably, and you can only find out what size clothing it is by trying it on. Many disappointments occur due to the discrepancy between the indicated sizes of Chinese women's clothing and Russian ones, so conscientious sellers on the Internet must post size tables on their pages.

How to determine your clothing size?

To find out your clothing size, use a sewing measuring tape. Chest circumference is measured by the protruding points of the chest in a state of exhalation and without clothing (or in light clothing). The resulting values must be divided in half. An even whole number will indicate your size. If the girth shows from 99 to 103 cm, your size is 50, if from 95 to 98 cm, it is 48, and so on. The measuring tape should fit snugly to the body, not sag or press.

This is the main indicator that determines the size of clothing. There are others. For example, to determine the size of women's trousers, skirts, shorts, the half-circumference of the hips is taken into account, for underwear - the hips and waist, for swimsuits and bras - the half-circumference of the chest and under the bust, for dresses, coats, suits and trousers, height is also required, but some manufacturers indicate the length of the back. This is enough to find out your clothing size.

How to measure your parameters

In order to correctly and accurately measure your parameters, you need to know where to measure them.

Chest circumference I - the tape passes through the armpits.
Chest girth II - the tape passes along the protruding points of the chest and the middle of the shoulder blades, the measurement is taken with the bra on.
Waist circumference - the tape is located on the narrowest part of the body under the ribs, above the navel.
Hip circumference - the tape passes along the most convex points of the buttocks, taking into account the protrusion of the abdomen.
Shoulder width is measured from the extreme point of the shoulder to the point where the neck meets the body.
Sleeve length is measured from the extreme point of the shoulder to the first joint thumb arm or elbow/forearm.
The length of the inseam of the trousers is measured along the inner thigh.
Length side seam measured from the protruding point of the thigh on the outside of the leg.

It is impossible to take the last two measurements yourself, so it is better to use the help of another person to measure your parameters, or even better, turn to professionals.
