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

In accordance with Russian GOSTs, women's clothing sizes are defined as half the size of the breast volume. For example, if the chest volume is 92 cm, then this is 46 clothing sizes (92: 2 \u003d 46). Moreover, with a standard figure with a breast volume of 92 cm, the hip volume is 92-96 cm. Therefore, even choosing the size of the trousers, which is determined based on the volume of the hips, you need to know the volume of the chest. The table of correspondence of the parameters of the figure and the size of the clothes can be found 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 what 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 of clothing, which is 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 volume of the breast) 6. For example, if the breast volume is 96 cm, then it is 48 Russian size (96: 2 \u003d 48) and 42 European clothing size (48 -6 \u003d 42). The same standards for women's clothing are used in France and Italy.

The English women's clothing size system is completely different. Of course, the measurements are also taken and the ratio of the volume of the chest, hips and waist in the same size will be the same, regardless of whether the clothes are produced by a Russian or an English company. It's about designating sizes. The female sizes in England are between the designations 4 and 20. The 4 size corresponds to the Russian 42 size and the European 36th. 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). XXS size corresponds to the Russian size 42 (36 European), XS - to the 44th size (38th European) and so on up to 3XL, which corresponds to the Russian size 58 (52nd European).

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

Knowing the obtained distance in centimeters, you can easily determine your shoe size. For example, if the foot length is 25 cm, then this corresponds to the 38th Russian shoe size. Women's shoes are usually produced from the 34th (foot length 21.5 cm) to the 42nd size (foot length 28 cm). The most common sizes are from the 36th to the 40th. Some sizes in Russia are produced by some firms with half (for example, 39.5). You can see the table of conformity of sizes of women's shoes, 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 to 11.5. In the USA and in Europe, all sizes are half values, for example, 5; 5.5; 6; 6.5 etc. The sizes of women's shoes in the UK differ from the American ones by exactly 2. That is, to determine the English size, 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 bit more complicated with respect 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 shoe size, you can use the table

How to measure breast volume

Sometimes we encounter a problem when our customers claim that on women's clothing sizes table  calculated incorrectly. We know that the problem is different. You just need to measure your size correctly using a meter in the form of a tape. Measure should be the full coverage at the level of the middle of the shoulder blades and the middle of the protruding part of the chest. In this case, do not overtighten the meter, because the clothes should sit on your figure well, and not fit it every fold.

Dimension nuances

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 sew a dress or a blouse only at a private dressmaker, and factories sew a universal (standard) size. If you want clothes to fit your figure, you can order a smaller size, bordering on your measurements. And vice versa - if you need a dress or coat loose, then you should pick up a thing a size larger.

When buying a dress or suit, take into account measurements not only of the chest, but also of the hips. Order a thing the size of which corresponds to large measurements. After all, suturing clothes is much easier than arranging them.

If you know your European size, then you can also navigate it when choosing. Just add to the 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.

Clothing Care Rules

Outerwear

As a rule, outerwear is especially often prone to pollution and the formation of an unpleasant odor. To prevent the appearance of a musty smell, you need to dry the jacket, cloak or coat well after walking on the street. The most effective way of drying is to put things on their shoulders. In this case, it will not crumple and lose its shape, and also will dry out evenly in all places. It is better to hang a jacket in this form on the balcony, where it will be aired.

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

Underwear

In order for your underwear to serve you for a long time, we recommend that you follow the recommendations for care and washing on the tag. A more detailed description of the icons can be found on our website.

Jeans

Many people wash their jeans almost every day after wearing them. This is not worth it, since the denim is quite durable, and you can clean it with an ordinary kitchen sponge. You can also hang them in the bathroom so that they steam off when you take a shower or bath. In this case, they can be washed once every half a year.
