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 necessary clothes for every taste and color, with the help of such resources, ladies constantly update their wardrobe. Unfortunately, such purchases have a drawback. Often purchased items do not fit, look bad, so you need to know the size that suits you specifically.

This is especially true for outerwear (jackets, sweaters, sweaters): a large one hangs like a bag, and a small one hinders movement. It is important to understand that the parameters of things of different brands and companies are often very different, and you need to understand how the parameters, volumes are compared and why it is enough to make all the necessary measurements just once.

Before proceeding with the order, we correctly take the measurements required to measure your body. When choosing the size of women's outerwear, consultants believe that it is enough to calculate five parameters of your body:

• Growth
• Chest circumference (the most protruding part)
• Hips (measurements are taken at the widest point)
• Waist circumference (just above the navel)
• Sleeve length (shoulder to wrist)

By adhering to these simple rules, you can easily choose the right size for women's outerwear using different size charts. It is important to understand that Russian clothing has its own parameters. Often they talk about the similarity of Russian and European sizes, since they are really similar, but there are significant differences.

Many online stores create personal spreadsheets. 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 from the manufacturer, then you need to choose only 38.

It is enough for a girl trying to maintain the state of her figure once to measure all the necessary parameters in order to forever remember which size suits you, using tables from different manufacturers.

It is possible to find out your Russian clothing size without using the list. Make it simple. First, remove the body parameters. Second, just divide by two each parameter. Do not forget that the volumes of body parts are different everywhere, therefore, outerwear and pants or skirts will have different indicators. For example, if the bust is 91 cm, sweatshirts or t-shirts of size 46 will do. 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 of stretchy material, while jeans and trousers are the other way around.

When you are going to buy seasonal clothes in Russian stores, first of all, you should pay attention to the labels located on the back of the clothes.

The first line on the label says height, and your height should be in the range of about 3 cm. If you are trying on clothes of adjacent height, focus on the waist, the position of the pockets and the sleeves. The second number is the coverage 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 (a room at the salon where you are shown a new collection of clothes), but your height is below 155 cm, then experts advise you to remake outerwear specifically for your volumes.

In American tables, the parameters are indicated in inches, which is inconvenient for most buyers. To avoid inconvenience, consultants have compiled special tables.

XS - very small

S - small

SM - on some sites they use instead of S

M - medium,

L - big

XL - extra large

XXL - very, very large.

To determine the size used in the United States, in addition to standard measurements, on the labels of things you may see the letters P (short for the French word "Petit" - small) and L (from the English "Long" - long). In the first case, things are made for small, thin women, usually up to 165 cm, and in the second - for tall ones, starting from 175 cm. The difference will be noticeable by measuring the length of sleeves, pants and skirts.

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

If you look closely, you can see that the US sizes are indicated by the numbers 0, 2, 4, 6, and so on. This is for ease of use because the numbers 1, 3, 5 and beyond are used by teenagers.

In any American clothing store, there are sections with Plus size items ("plus size", that is, more than usual). They are designated by the letter W ("Wide" - spacious). Due to the serious problem of obesity in the US, the firms make products specifically for people who are overweight, and their largest size that you can find in stores is (10)XL.

Pants for women are written in numbers through a fraction. The first number is your waist circumference (in inches), the second is your leg length (inches on the inside). The last indicator will be determined by your height.

In the era of Internet technology, Chinese online stores are very popular among Russian buyers. They took the lead in terms of the number of products sold, because their items are fully consistent with the listed price.One of the few problems their customers have is not knowing the size grid of China and their compliance with standard sizes. It is difficult to get the dress you like on the first try and not make a mistake 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 short and thin, so Chinese clothes are small. Regular customers claim that the difference is approximately two sizes.

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

Given your measurements, consultants can easily help you convert Chinese clothing sizes to Russian sizes.

When it comes to Plus size clothes, Chinese products are no exception, so they have large sizes that are not like what we are used to. But manufacturers are trying to use their popularity and put up for sale things in sizes 4XL-10XL, corresponding to the Russian XL.

It is worth writing separately about the most famous Chinese online store "Aliexpress". The service specializes not only in the sale of appliances, electronics and knick-knacks for home and personal use, but also in clothing.Many sellers attach a dimensional grid to the description of their product that compares Chinese, European, American and Russian sizes.

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 that the size that suits you is correct, then it is better to contact the seller who will advise on any issue of interest.
