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

The designations of the size range in the USA are very different from those in Russia.

In Russia, it is customary to indicate the size in accordance with the growth of the child. In Europe, they do the same, but in our country, an ordinary thin child will correspond to a certain height. In Europe, clothes for more well-fed children will be sewn for such growth.

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

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

The dimensional grid in America is diverse and has its own subtleties, which must be taken into account for the right choice:

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

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

After 8 years, one height of a child is not enough to determine American sizes.

To translate US children's size into Russian, you will need measurements for the circumference of the bust, hips, waist, sleeves and trousers.

The sizes for boys and girls will already be separate.

When determining the size, be sure to look at which one in Russia will have an analogue with the US size. The main thing is not to make a mistake with the measurements.

US outerwear sizes will also vary. This category presents size ranges not only for jackets, coats and overalls, but also for hats and mittens.

To determine the size of outerwear, measurements are also needed (height, waist, chest, hips). For hats, you need the girth of the head, and for mittens, the length and width of the palm.

There is a size chart for every age.

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

A metal tape measure for measuring the volume of a child is not suitable.

Taking measurements from a child is a painstaking task. To guess with the size, all measurements must be taken accurately and clearly.

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 persuasion and reassurance, 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 fully taut. Older children can be put on the door frame. At the same time, you need to ensure that the heels are clearly on the floor, and the back is firmly pressed against the wall. The figure you get will be the growth value.

Then, move on to the bust. We take a centimeter, stretch it through the back and connect it in front.The centimeter line should run along the most protruding points of the chest. Make sure that the child does not slouch and does not stick out his chest. The measurer, in turn, should not tighten or loosen the centimeter too much. There should be only a tight fit to the body.

To measure the waist circumference, it is better to tie a thin ribbon to the child or wear a narrow elastic band. You need to measure the narrowest place. In this case, make sure that the child does not pull in the stomach. Otherwise, the clothes will be small and he will be uncomfortable.

We measure the circumference of the hips. When measuring the hips, it is desirable that the child be in thin pants or underwear. The legs should be together. Grasp the widest point of the hips with a centimeter, pass it through the buttocks and close the circle at the starting point. The centimeter should fit snugly against the body.

To buy trousers, the height of the child and the length of the legs from the inside are usually measured. The inside length of the legs is the distance from the groin to the ankle.

To accurately guess the size, you can measure the outer length of the legs. The child must stand upright. Legs shoulder width apart. We measure the distance from the waist line to the ankle.

For jackets, jackets, etc., you will need to measure the length of the sleeve.

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

In order to find out the size of outerwear, you will need to measure the full length of the sleeve. The beginning of the 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 must be wrapped around the head.The line should be about 1.5 or 2 centimeters above the eyebrows, not touch the ears, be a little higher.

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

To buy mittens or gloves, we take measurements of the palm. We measure the girth of the palm without the thumb, in its widest part. After we measure the length from the base of the middle finger (the longest), to the beginning of the wrist.

Correctly taken measurements will help you choose the perfect size for your child.

The choice of 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, clothes for growth are not quite the right decision (not counting outerwear).

A small child should first of all be cozy and comfortable in what they put on him.

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 the newborn baby.

In the US, babies between 0 and 2 years old are called baby. To pick up such a child a pretty bodysuit, sliders, a dress and even a bib, you only need to know his age and height.

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

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

Therefore, the easiest and most convenient way to measure the growth of a child at this age is to lie down.

While dad lures his child with an interesting toy (roles can change), mommy will be able to easily take the measurements she needs.

Height should be measured with a hypoallergenic centimeter from the top of the head to the very heels.

Having made the necessary measurements, writing down and remembering them, you will ask yourself: what to do next?

How to determine what US size a child has?

To do this, they came up with very convenient size tables.

There is a table for each age and type of children's clothing.

This includes sizes for chubby babies

After 8 years, additional measurements are required to determine the size. Sizes are beginning to be divided into 2 groups: for boys and for girls.

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

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