When buying clothes in America or ordering on the Internet, the first problem that parents face is size.

The designations of the size range in the United States differ sharply from those in Russia.

In Russia, it is customary to specify the size in accordance with the growth of the child. They do it in Europe as well, but in our country a normal thin child will correspond to a certain height. In Europe, on such growth will sew clothes for more well-fed children.

How to make the right choice when determining the size of children's clothing?

Translation of children's US clothing sizes into Russian is a rather lengthy process.

The size grid in America is diverse and has its own subtleties, accounting for which is necessary for the correct choice:

Clothing for boys and girls from 2 to 8 years (Kids - children) will have one size, which depends not only on age, but also on the height of the child. The lower height of the plank is 92, the highest one is 128 cm. With dimensions 2T-3T, 4T, 5, 6, 6t, 7 and 8, respectively.

The size of 2T is considered the smallest, corresponds to a height of 92-94 cm (2-3 years), and a size of 6, for example, will correspond to a height from 116 to 118 cm (5-6 years).

After 8 years of age, one child’s growth is not enough to determine American size.

To translate the US child's size into Russian, you need measurements of chest girth, hips, waist, sleeves and pants.

The sizes for boys and for girls already become separate.

When determining the size, be sure to see which one in Russia will have a counterpart with the size in the USA. The main thing is not to be mistaken with the yardsticks.

The size of the US outerwear will also be different. In this category are presented not only the size ranges of jackets, coats and overalls, but also caps and mittens.

To determine the size of outerwear, we also need measurements (height, waist circumference, chest, hips). For caps you need a head circumference, and for mittens, the length and width of the palm.

For each age there is its own size grid.

To take measurements, you will need an ordinary centimeter, a child and a little patience.

Metal measuring tape to measure the volume of the child will not work.

Taking measurements from a child is a painstaking task. To guess with the size, all measurements must be made accurate and clear.

Many children are very active and do not like to stand quietly in one place for a long time, so some mothers will have to work hard.

After all the persuasion and calm, when the child and you are ready to work, you can begin.

First of all, we measure growth. We stretch a centimeter from the top of the child to the floor. The tape must be completely stretched. Older children can be attached to the door jamb. At the same time, you need to ensure that the heels were clearly on the floor, and the back was pressed tightly against the wall. The resulting figure will be the size of the growth.

Then, go to the chest girth. Take a centimeter, stretch it across the back and connect it in front. The centimeter line should run along the most prominent points of the chest. Make sure the child does not slouch and does not protrude his chest. Measuring, in turn, should not be too tight or too weak a centimeter. It should only be a snug fit to the body.

To measure waist circumference, it is better to tie a thin ribbon to the child or wear a narrow elastic band. Need to measure the narrowest point. At the same time, care should be taken that the child does not pull in the stomach. Otherwise, the clothes will be small and it will be uncomfortable.

Measure the girth of the hips. When measuring the hips, it is desirable that the child be in thin pants or underwear. Feet should stand together. Grasp the widest point of the hips with a centimeter, run it through the buttocks and close the circle at the starting point. A centimeter should fit snugly to the body.

To buy trousers, they usually measure the height of the child and the length of the legs on the inside. The internal length of the legs is the distance from the groin to the ankle.

To accurately guess the size, you can measure the external length of the legs. The child should stand straight. Feet shoulder width apart. Measure the distance from the waist line to the ankle.

For jackets, jackets, etc., measurements of the sleeve length will be needed.

To do this, put the beginning of a centimeter at the extreme point of the shoulder and stretch it to the wrist. In this case, the hand should be slightly bent at the elbow.The length of the 3/4 sleeve is measured in the same way, but not up to the wrist, but to the elbow.

In order to know the size of the outer clothing, you need to measure the full length of the sleeve. The beginning of a centimeter should be placed on the lower cervical vertebra and stretch the tape to the wrist. The arm is slightly bent.

When choosing any headgear, measure the circumference of the head. A centimeter needs to be wrapped around your head. The line should be about 1.5 or 2 centimeters above the eyebrows, not hurt the ears, be slightly higher.

Behind it should fit the most convex point of the neck. It is better to measure the head circumference several times in order to certainly avoid mistakes.

To buy mittens or gloves do palm measurements. We measure the circumference of the palm without a thumb, in its widest part. After measuring the length of the base of the middle finger (the longest), before the start of the wrist.

Correctly made measurements will help to choose the ideal size of clothes for your child.

Choosing clothes for babies under 3 years old is usually the biggest problem.

Since at this age they grow very quickly, you have to buy mostly clothes for growth.

On the other hand, clothing for growth is not quite the right decision (not counting outerwear).

First of all, a small child should be comfortable and cozy in that they wear it.

Therefore, you should know the exact size. In infancy, it is quite difficult to understand what size a child has.

Caring Americans have simplified this task: the size of clothes corresponds to the age of a newborn baby.

In the USA, babies from 0 to 2 years old are called baby. To pick such a child a pretty body, romper, dress and even a bib, you only need to know its age and height.

At first glance, everything is very simple, but the question immediately arises: how to measure the growth of the baby?

Small children are very sensitive to every touch. Every time someone violates their comfort zone, whims begin.

Therefore, the most simple and convenient way to measure the height of a child at that age will be lying down.

While dad entices her child with an interesting toy (roles can change), mommy can easily make the measurements she needs.

Growth should be measured hypoallergenic centimeter from the crown to the heels.

Having made the necessary measurements, having recorded and memorized them for memory, you will ask yourself: what to do next?

How to determine what size is the United States child?

For this came up with a very convenient size table.

For each age and type of children's clothing has its own table.

This includes sizes for chubby children.

After 8 years, additional measurements are required for sizing. The sizes begin to be divided into 2 groups: for boys and for girls.

These tables will be a great help in determining the correct size of your child. Based on the information given in them, you can easily find the perfect wardrobe for your child, which the whole family will love. And most importantly, the child himself will be very easy and comfortable in it.

Beauty, elegance and the right size - a terrible force.
