The main measurements that must be taken to determine the size women's clothing, are the volume of the chest (OG), the volume of the hips (OB) and the volume of the waist (FROM). This refers to taking figure measurements to determine the size in any country. But the combination of these measurements obtained gives a certain size, which has different designations on different continents and in different countries Oh.

In accordance with Russian GOSTs, the sizes of women's clothing are defined as half the size of the chest volume. For example, if the volume of the chest is 92 cm, then this is 46 clothing sizes (92: 2 \u003d 46). At the same time, with a standard figure with a chest volume of 92 cm, the hip volume is 92-96 cm. Therefore, even choosing the size of trousers, which is determined based on the volume of the hips, it is necessary to know the volume of the chest. The table of correspondence between figure parameters and clothing sizes can be viewed in the table:

Table of standards for figure parameters and clothing sizes

Domestic clothing standards are now more or less clear to us. Now we offer to dive deeper into the topic and find out which American clothing sizes and European clothing sizes correspond to ours. After all, probably, there is not a single girl or woman who would wear clothes exclusively from a domestic manufacturer.

It is quite easy to determine your size for clothes that are made according to German standards. To do this, you just need to subtract 6 from the Russian size (and we remember that it is half the chest volume). For example, if the chest volume is 96 cm, then this is 48 Russian size (96: 2 = 48) and 42 European clothing size (48 -6=42). The same clothing standards for women are used in France and Italy.

The English sizing system for women's clothing is completely different. Of course, measurements are also taken and the ratio of the volume of the chest, hips and waist in one size will be the same, regardless of whether the clothes are produced by a Russian or English company. It's just about sizing. Women's sizes in England are between designations 4 and 20. Size 4 corresponds to Russian size 42 and European size 36. And the 20th English size is 58 Russian and 52 European.

American clothing sizes usually have a letter designation. There are such American sizes of women's clothing: XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, 2XL and 3XL. The letter S is the first letter in the word SMALL (small), M - MIDDLE (medium), L - LARGE (large). Size XXS corresponds to Russian size 42 (36 European), XS - size 44 (38 European) and so on up to 3XL, which corresponds to Russian size 58 (52 European).

Let's move on to such an irreplaceable participant female image like shoes. As one famous Italian actress said: - "The success of a woman in a tight bra and loose shoes." If the first, from the point of view of medicine, can be argued, then everyone will agree that a woman should feel comfortable in shoes. In order to accurately determine your shoe size, you must act in this way. Stand with your foot on a sheet of paper, transfer your body weight to this leg and circle the foot. Then you need to measure the distance between the most protruding point thumb and heels. The same must be done with the second foot. Sometimes, one foot is larger than the other, more often the right one.

Knowing the resulting distance in centimeters, you can easily determine your shoe size. For example, if the length of the foot is 25 cm, then this corresponds to the 38th Russian size shoes. Women's shoes are usually produced from size 34 (foot length 21.5 cm) to size 42 (foot length 28 cm). The most common are sizes from 36th to 40th. Some sizes in Russia are produced by some companies with half (for example, 39.5). View size chart women's shoes you can, for example, here.

In Europe and the USA, sizes are indicated differently. In the USA, the Russian 34th size of women's shoes corresponds to the 5th size, and the 42nd - 11.5. In the US and Europe, all sizes are half values, such as 5; 5.5; 6; 6.5 etc. The sizes of women's shoes in the UK differ from American ones by exactly 2. That is, to determine the English size, you need to subtract the number 2 from the American one. So, the smallest size will be the 3rd (Russian 34th), and the largest - 9.5 ( Russian 42nd).

With European sizes, it's a little more difficult with regards to women's shoes. For example, the Russian 34th size corresponds to the 35th European, the Russian 37th European 37.5, and the Russian 39.5 and in Europe is called 39.5. In order to accurately determine the European size of shoes, you can use the table

In any case, all European sizes are "small" in relation to domestic ones.

How to measure chest

Sometimes we run into a problem when our customers claim that on clothes sizes women's table calculated incorrectly. We know the problem is elsewhere. You just need to measure your size correctly using a meter in the form of a tape. Full coverage should be measured at the level of the middle of the shoulder blades and the middle of the protruding part of the chest. At the same time, do not overtighten the meter, because the clothes should sit well on your figure, and not fit every fold of it.

The nuances of sizing

note that dimensional grid of women's clothing determines the size, focusing on the volume of the chest in a given range of values. This is due to the fact that for every centimeter you can only sew a dress or blouse with a private dressmaker, and factories sew a universal (standard) size. If you want the clothes to fit your figure, you can order a smaller size that borders on your measurements. And vice versa - if you need a dress or a loose coat, then you should choose a thing one size larger.

When buying a dress or suit, take into account the measurements of not only the chest, but also the hips. Order an item that is sized to fit large measurements. After all, sewing clothes is much easier than arranging them.

If you know your European size, then you can also navigate it when choosing. It is enough to add to European size 6. And you will get your CIS size. For example, if you order size 40 from European catalogs, then your CIS size is 46.

As a rule, outerwear is particularly susceptible to soiling and the formation of bad smell. To prevent musty smells, you need to dry your jacket, raincoat or coat well after walking outside. Most effective method drying is the placement of things on hangers. In this case, it will not wrinkle and lose its shape, and will also dry evenly in all places. It is better to hang the jacket in this form on the balcony, where it will be ventilated.

Particular attention should be paid to the hanger. It should only hang one thing, and it should fit the size of the item being stored. Otherwise, deformation and stretching of the material is possible.
