How do you know your size of women's clothing?
Domestic designations of women's clothing are based onon such indicator, as a half-girth of a breast. This system is adopted in Russia and CIS countries. That is, if the measurement of chest girth is 92 cm, then the corresponding size of clothes will be 46th. On the clothing tags of the Russian production, it is customary to specify three parameters. The first indicates growth, the second - the volume of the breast, the third - the volume of the hips. It is worth remembering that if the height is indicated at 165 cm, then this clothing can fit a woman whose height is in the range of 162-168 cm.
Sometimes when choosing the top of clothing (blouses,jackets, jackets) there is a need for other dimensions. The same is necessary when choosing clothes. It is necessary to take into account the volume of the waist and hips, as they may not correspond to the volume of the breast. Owners of a non-standard figure find it difficult to pick up ready clothes in stores, so they often have to use the services of tailors. The same goes for women with small stature. All the clothes for them require refinement.
Determining the size of a table
To quickly calculate the required size wasinvented a table of sizes of women's clothing. How to determine its size on it? The table contains measurements that correspond to a certain size. There are only eight of them:
- chest girth;
- hip girth;
- girth of the waist;
- thigh height;
- shoulder width;
- girth of the wrist;
- length of arm to wrist;
- neck girth.
The standard is 164-168 cm.For owners of higher growth, the dimensions from this table also fit. Manufacturers often make models that are designed for tall girls. Usually this applies to trousers, since it is in this type of clothing that growth is important. In this case, the growth is indicated on the tag.
Chest circumference
To obtain a reliable result of the measurement it is necessary to carry out in light clothes, having secured the help of the second person.
It is necessary to take a natural posture, and a person,taking the measure, should tightly attach the tape around the chest to its protruding points. When you receive an intermediate result, the size should be chosen upwards. That is, if after measurement it turned out that the chest girth is 94 cm, then the size should be chosen 48th.
When measuring, you need to use a tape of goodquality and not stretched, otherwise the results will be distorted. If the clothes are ordered from the online store without fitting, then the selected model may not be suitable.
Hip girth
How to know your clothing size female, ifis the volume of the thighs known? On the hips, you can determine the size of jeans, trousers, skirts, breeches, as well as the overall size. On the label of clothing from domestic manufacturers, usually three parameters are indicated, the last of which is the girth of the hips. To correctly measure the volume of the thighs, you need to lay the measuring tape around the hips along the most prominent points of the buttocks.
The parameters obtained as a result of measurementshelp answer the question of how to find out your clothing size. The size chart reveals to which standard size of clothing the measured girth of the hips corresponds. For example, in a trouser suit of forty-second size, pants fit for a woman with a thigh size of 90 cm.
On the hips, you can also determine whichfull group is a woman. To do this, the growth rate is subtracted from the resulting parameter. A total of 4 full groups. The first group includes women with a difference between the girth of the hips and chest -4 cm. The difference of -8 cm indicates the second group, -12 on the third and -16 speaks about the fourth full-strength group.
Waist circumference
How to determine the size of women's clothing around the waist? Measure the waistline strictly on the waist line.
This parameter is often used to selectdresses, trousers or skirts with an overstated waist. Correctly matched size at the waist provides comfortable wearing and emphasizes the figure. Therefore, the waist girth necessarily includes a table of sizes of women's clothing. How to determine your size if your waist is 74 cm? According to the table, this figure corresponds to the 46th clothing size.
On jeans, usually the size is 24-44, which corresponds to the waist circumference in inches. For example, the 29th size of jeans is designed for women with a waist of 70 cm.
Height of hips
How to know your size of women's clothing by heightthighs? This option is required when choosing trousers or jeans. Each size of clothing corresponds to its own height of the hips. For example, clothes of the 42nd size are designed for hips 20 cm high. This parameter is not so common as the hip circumference, but it matters when choosing items with a low waist, which at high hips can just sit ugly. This applies to shorts, trousers, jeans and in some cases skirts.
To measure the height of the thighs, it is necessary to attach the tape from the upper protruding part of the thighs and take the measurement to the point on the hips corresponding to the bottom line of the buttocks. This distance and will be the height of the hips.
Shoulder Width
The width of the shoulder is taken into account when choosing jackets, blouses,Jackets and other clothes for the upper body. This parameter does not matter when selecting t-shirts and clothes on narrow straps. How do you know your size of a woman's clothing by the width of her shoulders?

In the following size, the width will increase by 0.2 cm. This parameter can not indicate the size of the clothes, since at a breast volume of 92 cm the shoulders may be as wide as 12 cm For non-standard figures, you often have to change clothes. Normal is considered when the width of the hips is the same as the width of the shoulders.
Wrist Girth
The circumference of the wrist is measured by the protruding partsHands in front of the brush. This parameter is often used when choosing bracelets. The forty-second clothing size has sleeves with a wrist circumference of 15.5 cm. For the next size, this figure increases by 0.5 cm.
Arm length to wrist
Like the wrist circumference, this indicatorIt is used when choosing shirts and other clothes with long sleeves. In the clothing size tables, it is included to ensure that all clothing of standard sizes have the same parameters. On the one hand, it's good, as a person, acquiring a jacket of his size without fitting, can know for sure that the length of his sleeves will suit him. On the other hand, owners of long arms find it difficult to find suitable clothing. The length of the arm is measured from the shoulder joint to the wrist and for the 40th size corresponds to the index of 58.5 cm. With each following dimension, the length of the arm increases by half a centimeter.
Neck circumference
When choosing clothes with a high collarThe necessary parameter is the neck circumference. When you know such parameters as neck circumference, it's easy to choose a well-fitting shirt model that fastens to the top button.
Observance of all measurement rules will help to get a reliable result and choose clothes with a convenient neckline.
The measuring tape must be wrapped aroundneck so that it snug against the skin. The tape should be just above the joint of the shoulders and neck. How to determine the size of women's clothing around the neck? The result obtained after the correct measurement will correspond to a certain size. Intermediate figures need to be rounded up. For example, a shirt of the 42nd size has a collar with a volume of 35.5 cm. Actually, the volume of the collar of the shirt should be slightly more than the neck circumference, which will ensure comfortable wearing.
Table of sizes for women's clothing of different countries
When buying clothes abroad or in stocksstores sometimes there is a problem with determining the appropriate size.

The exception is Italy, where the size grid starts from the 36th size, and ends at 68th. Also Italian clothes can have tags with Roman numerals. The sizes in England too differ from European and are presented in two variants: from 4th to 36th and from 30th to 62nd.
Many clothing manufacturers, other than size,adopted in their country, indicate also the international size. The grid of the international sizes is presented in the form of the big Latin letters which are recognized in any country of the world. The smallest international size that corresponds to the 38th in the domestic system is designated XXS, then goes XS, then simply S, L, M. All dimensions after M, that is, the 44th, are denoted by the letter L with the required number of X (up to four ) in front of her. The largest international dimension in the table is designated as 5XL. These designations very often can be found on T-shirts, shorts, knitwear and underwear, except for bras. Accepting such a system of sizes, the supplier will not need to select the appropriate size for buyers from around the world.
US grid starts from zero,which corresponds to the domestic 38th size. The next after zero will be the second size and so on. Almost all dimensional grids have a step of two units.
