Table of women's outerwear sizes

Table of women's outerwear sizes

Most girls love to go shopping, but there are situations when it becomes impossible. With the advent of online clothing stores, you can easily and quickly choose the right clothes for every taste and color, with the help of such resources, ladies constantly update their wardrobe. Unfortunately, these purchases have a flaw. Often, purchased items do not fit, look bad, so you need to know the size that suits you.

This is especially true for outer clothing (jackets, sweaters, sweaters): the big one hangs like a bag, and the small one is constrained by movement. It is important to understand that the parameters of things of different brands and companies are often very different, and it is required to understand how parameters are compared, volumes and why it is enough to make all the necessary measurements only once.

How to determine your size

Before proceeding to an order, we correctly take the measurements required to measure your body. Selecting the size of the top women's clothing, consultants believe that it is enough to calculate five parameters of your body:

  • Growth
  • Chest circumference (the most bulging part)
  • The volume of the hips (measurements are made in the widest place)
  • Waist (slightly above the navel)
  • Sleeve length (from shoulder to wrist)

Adhering to these simple rules, you can easily find the appropriate size of women's outerwear using different size tables. It is important to understand that Russian clothing has its own parameters. It is often said that Russian and European sizes are similar, since they are really similar, but there are significant differences.

Many online stores make personalized tables. When ordering goods you will use the scheme attached to the site. For example, if your Russian size is 46, and this corresponds to 38 for the manufacturer, then you only need to choose 38.

A girl who tries to maintain the state of the figure, it is enough to measure all the necessary parameters once to remember forever which size suits you using tables from different manufacturers.

Dimensional grid of Russia

It is possible to find out your size of Russian clothes without using the list. Make it easy. First, remove the parameters of the body. Secondly, simply divide each parameter into two. Do not forget that the volumes of body parts are different everywhere, therefore, outerwear and pants or skirts will have different indicators. For example, a chest volume of 91 cm, then fit sweaters or t-shirts of 46 size. If the waist circumference is 93 cm, then the bottom will be 44 or 42 sizes. It all depends on the material used for the pants. Sports are usually made from stretching material, and jeans and pants - on the contrary.

It is worth noting that in the Russian metric system, the chest half-grip is considered the main feature when determining the right size of women's clothing, therefore, this parameter is your size in the domestic measurement system.

When you are thinking of buying seasonal clothes in Russian stores, first of all you should pay attention to the labels located behind the clothes.

The first line on the label says height, and your height should be in the range of about 3 cm. If you measure clothes of adjacent height, focus on the waist, the location of the pockets and sleeves. The second number is the reach of the chest, and the third is the coverage of the hips. Of course, the most important thing is to feel comfortable in the purchased item. If you went to the showroom (room at the salon, where you are shown a new collection of clothes), but your height is below 155 cm, then experts advise to remake outerwear specifically for your volumes.

European parameters

In American tables, the parameters are in inches, which is a nuisance for most buyers.In order to avoid inconvenience, the consultants have compiled special tables.

American boutiques use two designations: digital and alphabetic. The letter designation does not resemble the usual marking. The United States prefers to denote sizes by numbers.

XS is very small

S - small

SM - on some sites use instead of S

M - average,

L - big

XL is very big

XXL - very, very big.

To determine the size used in the USA, besides standard measurements, you can see the letters P (abbreviated from the French word “Petit” - small) and L (from the English “Long” - long) on ​​the labels of things. In the first case, things are made for small, thin women, usually up to 165 cm, and in the second for high ones, starting from 175 cm. The difference will be noticeable by measuring the length of the sleeves, pants and skirts.

If your parameters are different with those listed in the table, then you need to look at exactly what thing you are going to buy. For example, you are a woman with a height of 169 cm, your parameters - 85-64-96. Sweatshirts and T-shirts are best to buy 4 sizes, skirts and pants - 6. In the situation with dresses, you need to rely on a certain brand, as expensive brands often have their own tables with which you can determine the right size, knowing only the volumes.

If you find it difficult to choose which size between the two standing next to each other, it is better to choose the smallest one. Cheap American brands (Stradivarius, Bershka) increase the size of their products to increase the self-esteem of their customers. Dear firm will not allow this, so their clothes are often correlated with the size in the table.

If you look closely, you can see that the size of the United States are designated by the numbers 0, 2, 4, 6, and so on. This is done for more convenient use, because the numbers 1, 3, 5 and further are used by teenagers.

In any American clothing store, there are sections with Plus size items ("plus size, that is, more ordinary). They are denoted by the letter W ("Wide" - spacious). Due to the fact that there is a serious problem of obesity in the USA, firms produce goods especially for people suffering from excess weight, and their largest size that can be found in stores is (10) XL.

Trousers for women are written in numbers by a fraction. The first number is the coverage of your waist (in inches), the second is the length of the leg (on the inside in inches). The latter figure will be driven by your height.

Size range of Asian countries

In the era of Internet technology, Chinese online stores are very popular among Russian buyers. They took the lead in the number of products sold, because their things are fully consistent with the specified price. One of the few problems of their clients is ignorance of the size grid of China and their compliance with standard sizes. It is difficult from the first attempt to get the dress you like and not to be mistaken with the size.

Responsible Asian sellers usually do not just indicate the letter size, but also try to provide buyers with detailed tables. We must not forget that European and Asian sizes are different. The fair sex of Asian countries is low and skinny, so Chinese clothes belong to the underdog. Regular customers claim that the difference is approximately two sizes.

Most often, the tables attached to the website of an Asian online store, show American, European and Chinese sizes, so you need to be careful when choosing the right thing.

Attention! The size indicated in the table and the product may not match each other, so it is better to write to the seller and ask him in detail all that concerns clothes, and whether a certain product is suitable for your parameters.

Considering your measurements, consultants can easily help you translate the size of Chinese clothes into Russian sizes.

If we talk about Plus size clothing, then Chinese products are no exception, so they have large sizes that are not similar to our usual ones.But manufacturers are trying to use their popularity and put up for sale things of size 4XL-10XL, corresponding to the Russian XL.

It is necessary to write separately about the most famous Chinese online store "Aliexpress". The service specializes not only in selling appliances, electronics and trinkets for home and personal use, but also in clothing. Many sellers attach to the description of their product a dimensional grid that compares the Chinese, European, American and Russian dimensions.

They do this to attract and retain customers, they want to make them permanent. If you see that the table is missing or you are not sure of the correctness of determining the size that suits you, then it is better to contact the seller, who will advise you on any question of interest.
