English size women's clothing. Sizes of men's underpants

Hello!

Today the topic is the size of women's clothing. Very often a problem arises, how to choose the size, for yourself, or for your friends and relatives.

Well, if we are familiar with the types of sizes, their classification, etc. And if not. Here some difficulties await us.

Not only do these indicators differ in different countries, only one option can be written.

So how do you figure out all these numbers. Moreover, this is important if you either do not want to try on the chosen thing, or if it does not require trying.

How to find out your clothing size

Getting to know him is very simple. To do this, it is enough to measure a few basic parameters.

This is the girth of the chest, waist and hips. They are measured using a special tape meter.

By measuring the parameters, comparing with the table, if you have one, you will know your size (this is described below). If you don’t have such a table at hand, you can use the online calculator: https://beregifiguru.ru/Calculators/Calculation of the size of clothing.

In the fields we enter the results of our measurements. Click the calculate button. The program will calculate and issue approximately such an option.

In fact, the list of values \u200b\u200bwill be much larger. Here is just an example.

It can be calculated by simple arithmetic operations. Having measured the girth of the bust and hips, we divide the obtained values \u200b\u200bin half. For example, when measuring, we got a bust girth of 88 cm, therefore we choose 44 sizes for blouses and t-shirts. If the hips were, say, 92 cm, then we take 46 pants, shorts, skirts.

How to measure your parameters correctly

In addition, it is also measured, especially when sewing clothes in the studio, the length of the arm, legs and full growth.

Waist circumference is measured as follows:

- Wrap with a special tape meter around the thin part of the waist. Retract or, conversely, inflate the stomach is not necessary.

- the volume of the lowered waist is measured in the same way, we just go down 10 centimeters.

To find out the circumference of the hips, it is necessary to measure the convex part of these hips and buttocks.

To measure the volume of the chest, it is necessary to wrap the horizontal part of the chest with a meter tape.

To measure the length of the arm, pull it forward. The hand must be held straight without bending. We measure the distance from the shoulder to the wrist.

The length of the legs is measured along its inner side. We apply a meter tape from the groin to the bone on the ankle.

Full growth is measured without shoes. But this, many remember - in childhood, everyone measured growth by a door jamb. We stand straight, head looks straight. It is advisable that someone help in this case, because either a ruler or any other flat object is placed on the top of the head. In the place of its contact with the wall or doorway, a mark is made, the distance to which is then measured from the floor.

Another measurement is the distance from one shoulder to the other. Everything is clear here: we measure from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other.

By measuring all these parameters, we get our size.

Features of dimensional grids in different countries

As already mentioned, each country has its own system of measures. German and American differs from ours in somewhat overestimated figures. We often encounter when buying a thing in size, and it turns out, as a result, a little more. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase clothes from these countries one size smaller.

American sizes are from 0 to 22. Therefore, if this marking is on clothing, subtract the number 38 from your size. For example, you have 48, subtract 38 and get American - 10.

We do the same with the European sizes, just subtract the number 6. That is, 48-6 we get the European 42.

Italian sizes are two smaller than Russian ones. So Italian size 46 corresponds to our 48th size.

The sizes of women's clothing from Turkey are almost the same.

As for China, here often, on the contrary, the dimensions are somewhat underestimated. Here it is also necessary to choose more accurately.

But, I want to note that this system is somewhat arbitrary. It corresponds only to average parameters. Sometimes you can get a little confused in the calculations.

Apparently on the basis of these nuances, an international system was developed. This is the well-known "X", "Eski" and "Elki", and their combinations, which are now well-known to everyone.

For comparison, below is a table of dimensional grids of Russian clothing and other countries.

In general terms, the size expressed in the letter designation is translated into our Russian digital as follows:

• S is small, equal to 44
• M - medium, equal - 46
• L - large - 48
• XXS - 40
• XS - 42
• XL - 52
• XXL - 54-56
• XXXL - 58-60

Women's Clothing Size Tables

Women's clothing is slightly different in size from men's. It has more various parameters.

Main dimensions

The table below shows the main sizes that are used when choosing clothes.

However, each of its species differs in its parameters.

Outerwear

So, when choosing a dress, jacket, coat, etc., the main parameter is the hip circumference.

At the same time, it is necessary to remember that when choosing outerwear for yourself, measurement must be done on a light sweater. If you took measurements, and they were somewhere between two neighboring ones, for example between 42 and 44, then it is better to acquire a larger size. In this example, 44. Buying a size smaller is necessary for those women who have narrow shoulders, but if they are wide, then, respectively, a size larger.
  The table below shows the sizes of women's outerwear, designed for growth from 164 to 172 cm.

In addition, there is another option for the so-called shoulder wear. This is clothing that rests on the shoulders and covers the upper body. When choosing shoulder clothes, they are adjusted for loose fitting. What it is? And this is such a value by which it is necessary to increase the parameters of the selected clothing so that it would be comfortable to wear.
  For thin ladies, such an amendment is taken as the largest, and for full women - the smallest. If you have large shoulders and a small chest, then the amendment should be an order of magnitude larger than the recommended one.

The table below shows the correspondence of different size options.

Pants, Skirts and Shorts

And this table shows the sizes for trousers, skirts, shorts.

Jeans

Jeans are purchased very often. In fact, this is one of the most popular clothes, at least for women, at least for men. The table below shows the sizes by which you can choose your jeans.

Lingerie

Women's underwear is also in great demand. Moreover, sometimes we men have to think about what clothes to give to their beloved. Statistics show that most men do not know the size of their ladies.

The tables below will give you complete information.

Bras and swimwear

Plus Size Women's Clothing

Above were presented size tables for standard and thin women. And how to be puffy. True for them there are special shops and specialized departments. But still, knowing your parameters and being able to determine the clothes you need from them is a very useful thing.

That's all I wanted to tell about the sizes and rules for selecting women's clothing. I hope this material will help you in your choice.

Knowing how to determine women's clothing sizes, you will not miss the choice of new things

The choice of clothes is a troublesome and not always successful business. Especially when this or that purchase of things is carried out through online stores. In this case, the buyer is faced with a considerable number of difficulties: selecting the invoice of the proposed product, matching the color and quality declared by the seller, the price ratio of the described model to the brand of clothes. But the main thing is a coincidence in size. To do this, you need to know what women's clothing size is. The table below will help you figure it out.

  Taking measurements is the first step to buying clothes

Clothing labels of various domestic and foreign manufacturers create confusion in the minds of unenlightened consumers. No wonder: Russian companies have their own size chart, Chinese brands have their own parameters, American and other standards also differ in personality.

A table of correspondence of the sizes and parameters of women's, men's or children's outerwear for a country such as Russia is determined by the semi-girths of the chest, waist and hips. Indicators are called domestic GOST. The international standards in this matter vary: among Americans and Germans, clothes are "bigger", and Chinese things are distinguished by underestimated sizes.

In order not to make a mistake in selecting clothes through Internet resources, you need to take a flexible measuring tape and use it to fix the parameters of your body. It is more convenient to do this in tandem with another person.

• The circumference of the chest is determined with straightened shoulders at the most convex points without sagging sewing centimeter.
• Hip circumference is carried out on the protruding parts of the buttocks, hips, not forgetting to take into account the tummy (if any).
• The waist is fixed by measuring the circumference of the belt. Keep the abdomen in the usual position, without pulling it in and not protruding.

The figures obtained are divided by 2: these indicators will serve as a guideline when buying domestic and Turkish clothes.

For a non-standard figure, additional measurements will be required:

• neck circumference will help to choose a blouse under the throat;
• arm length is required for tall ladies whose limbs are slightly longer than normal. With a slightly bent arm at the elbow, measurement is made from the outside from the base of the shoulder to the wrist;
• the length of the legs should be considered when buying pants, trouser suits, and jeans. This value is measured from the waistline to the floor on the outside of the leg.

It is not difficult to measure your own growth on your own. To do this, you need a pencil or felt-tip pen and any wall that does not have a baseboard. You can use the doorway. Take off your shoes and lean against the wall with your heels, buttocks and nape. Put a pencil on the top of the head (try to keep it as parallel to the floor as possible) and draw a line on the wall without taking it from your head. Measure the resulting height with a tailor tape.

Advice!When buying hats, knowledge of the size of the head is required. To do this, measure the girth above the ears with a tailor’s tape.

  With GOST everything is simple

Most Russian manufacturers use a dimensional grid, referred to as the GOST table:

Although the table of conformity of the sizes of women's outerwear made in Russia is determined by GOST according to the half-circumference of the chest, ladies should nevertheless have information on the sizes and other parts of the body so that online purchases are not refundable.

Advice! It is important to know that Russia, to improve the sales system, turned to the international classification of clothing sizes.

  Foreign landmarks in tables

Each country engaged in the production of clothing sets its own criteria for the dimensional grid depending on the type of wardrobe. On the underwear there are some trims, on stockings and tights - others, on outerwear - others.

To determine the characteristics of the size range of trousers, dresses, business and sports suits, growth parameters are used. Here you need to pay attention to the characteristics of the lengths of products: in some cases, manufacturers indicate the height of the back and sleeves, because the mismatch in the growth of tall and small women affects the ratio in the size series.

Advice! Be sure to check with the Chinese manufacturers the length of the product, because the shelves of blouses, t-shirts or tunics may be short.

  Features of underwear purchases

Advice! The factory marking of the bras indicates a numerical and letter designation of the size, where the first is the circumference under the bust, and the second is the size of the cup.

  Jeans without trying

With the known parameters of the circumference of the hips and waist, as well as the height of the legs from the outside and the inside, buying jeans without trying on will become commonplace. But even the habit of measuring jeans does not exclude the possibility of knowing your own parameters.

Based on the half-circumference of the hips, you can set the size of the trousers. Suppose half the hips circumference is 52 cm (this is 52 standard Russian size). In this case, the size of the jeans is 34. There are several subtleties for determining the size in the case of a non-standard figure:

• For those women whose chest circumference is less than the size of the hips, a larger format is taken into account.
• Ladies with the “inverted triangle” body type must, in addition to the chest circumference, measure the width of the shoulders.
• Do not forget that Chinese brands are small, so add a factor of 1-2 points.

Advice!In the case of online shopping, ask the seller in advance about the length of the product and carefully read the reviews.

Online purchases firmly consolidate their positions in the vastness of online stores. Competent sales consultants help you choose an inexpensive and high-quality item. All that remains for you is to take measurements correctly and trust the manager. Or, all the same, go to the store.

Women are very fond of shopping, it improves their mood, allows you to replenish your wardrobe with new and fashionable clothes. Before you buy a dress, skirt, pants or blouse, you need to try them on. It’s easier to do this by visiting shops and boutiques. But today, women often buy things in online stores, so they need to know their size exactly.

Especially alarming women are European and American sizes, which differ significantly from Russian ones. It is necessary to deal with the labeling on clothing labels - digital and alphabetic characteristics.

We have prepared the following reviews:

How to calculate your clothing size correctly

To do this, you need to have an ordinary centimeter tape on hand. You need to know your height, as well as make three measurements - girth of the chest, waist and hips. When all the numbers are known, divide the first and last value by 2. For example, your bust girth is 88 cm, so choose blouses, t-shirts, dresses, shirts of size 44 for yourself. If the hip circumference as a result of measurements is 92 cm, then look for clothes marked “46” - pants, leggings, shorts, skirts.

Each country has its own dimensional grid:

• when choosing clothes american manufacturers, note that the size of adult clothing is from 0 to 22. When choosing products, subtract the number 38 from your Russian size. That is, if you have 46 size in Russian marking, then in American it will be 8;
• in Europe   their designations of female sizes apply. They differ from Russian by 6 units. Subtract the number 46 from your size, for example, 6. Your European size is 40;
• italian   sizes of women's clothing. They are 2 less from Russian. Italian size 46 corresponds to the 48th domestic;
• it will be harder english   measurement system. It is not easy to calculate it yourself, therefore it is better to familiarize yourself with the size comparison table, which should be on the website of the online store;
• chinese   sizes of clothes that Asian manufacturers are equal to. In these countries, little things are sewn. Therefore, Russian women should choose clothes one size larger than indicated on the label.

Features of dimensional grids in different countries

In Europe, it is customary to designate sizes using standard letters. For Russia, this is a familiar marking, but not everyone understands it correctly. Let's compare how the Russian and European clothing sizes relate:

• S is a small size corresponding to 44;
• M - medium, in our country it is 46 size;
• L - large size - 48;
• XXS is size 40;
• XS - respectively, 42;
• XL - female size 52;
• XXL - equals domestic sizes 54-56
• XXXL is the largest size - 58-60.

To the left of the named letters, the designation X is added, which means a decrease or increase by one size.

When buying clothes, you must either know your size exactly or try on. Unfortunately, not all wardrobe items can be tried on, for example, they buy underwear, indicating the necessary marking to the seller. Below we will tell you how to determine the size of men's underpants, taking into account the circumference of your waist and hips. The marking table will help us in this, in which it is also easy to compare the sizes.

Markings of different countries

Underwear in different countries has, accordingly, various markings, there are also international sizes of men's underpants. Knowing your Russian markings, you can compare it with the sizes of underwear produced in Europe and the USA. This is convenient when buying in a regular store and online.

For example, you wear the 50th Russian size and want to make a purchase of imported underwear. In this case, your international marking will be L, and the European size is 50. Looking at the table, you will see that the Russian and European sizes EUR are the same, but US underwear has different markings. The size chart will not allow you to make a mistake when buying, which will then lead to discomfort when wearing clothes. Just take your Russian size and compare it in the table with the markings of other countries.

Also, using the table, you can find out the size of the panties by the waist and hips, which will help to choose underwear in case you have lost weight or gained weight.

Waist Size

If you decide to find out your exact linen size by waist and hips, you need to pick up a measuring tape (flexible centimeter) and take a measurement. To measure the hips, grab yourself with a flexible tape along the most protruding part of the buttocks. Measurement of the waist circumference is done along the line where the gum will be held.

There are almost no difficulties, there are only a few rules. Firstly, the tape cannot be pulled tightly or relaxed, and secondly, when measuring, the flexible centimeter should wrap around the waist parallel to the floor. Did you recognize the waist and hips? Now again we turn to the table and see that the hips of 103-106 cm and the waist 85-90 cm are the classic 50th size. An important point - if you have a non-standard figure, then underwear is bought at the maximum size. For example, if the waist circumference corresponds to the 48th size, and the hips to the 50th marking, then they buy exactly 50 size.

Sometimes, even with a standard figure, you need to choose more sizes for underwear. This rule is suitable for linen made of pure cotton, as it does not stretch well and accurate selection of the size can lead to discomfort when wearing underpants. If the linen is made using elastane, then it is chosen exactly in size.

Today we will talk about metric and shtikhmassovoy labeling. European shoe sizes and Russian 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 shown in the table below are officially recognized.

• Metric - foot length from the tip of the thumb to the edge of the heel, in centimeters. The step of the values \u200b\u200bis 5 mm. Today it is used mainly for children's products.
• RU (shtichmass). These are the very signs that we used to see in domestic stores. Equally often used for both children and adult models.
• EU (European Stichmass). The grid is similar to the Russian one, only it goes 1 order less - this is clearly visible in the table below.

The conformity of shoe sizes in Europe and Russia is reflected in the table below.

By completeness, models do not differ for all manufacturers, and few people follow GOST rules today, therefore this parameter is not indicated in the tables.

Dimensional grid of women's shoes, European and Russian

Differences from the male net here are only in the number of orders - in the female one by 1 more - and in the lengths of the feet for which they are intended. And the parameters that determine each position are the same for men and women. The whole difference is in the model pads, but we are not talking about that today. Here is the ratio of shoe sizes (Europe and Russia) in the "ladies" version.

European sizes of children's shoes in Russian, table

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

Correspondence of Russian and European sizes of shoes for children:

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 a foot on this sheet and transfer the weight to it. This transfer must be done necessarily, because only in this position will the correct measurement be obtained.
• Mark with points the top of the thumb and the most protruding back part of the heel.
• We measure the distance between the points.

If you need only a metric measurement, then you do not need to do anything else, we use the results already obtained. And to transfer from the metric system to RU (shtikhmass) you need:

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

These instructions can be applied to the leg of an adult, and to the leg of a child.

What is the difference between the European size of shoes from the Russian

The metric system has no differences: in both cases, the foot length in millimeters or centimeters (more often) is taken as a unit. The step is 0.5 cm. It is true for the indicated countries and the note that metric values \u200b\u200bare used mainly for children's models.

It is also necessary to clarify that the Russian and foreign shtikhmass, although calculated on the same principle, do not coincide 100%. In addition, this difference is even convenient - the transfer from system to system is elementary. How to determine the European shoe size, knowing Russian: just add to the first 1. In the opposite direction, we decrease.

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

Or else: 42 European size, what is Russian (shoes)? We add 1 to 42, it turns out 43 - that's it, we completed the translation.
