How can you determine your clothing size? How to find out your clothing size: women's, men's, by height, by weight, size of underwear and outerwear

Every year humanity acquires more and more more clothes. Some people simply cannot live without shopping, while others are forced to buy the same thing simply because they are unable to immediately choose their size. How to determine it correctly and correlate it with dimensional grids different countries we will tell you in our article.

It happens that the color of the chosen item suits you, and the style, as they say, is yours, but you still feel uncomfortable in it. The latter can actually happen if the new item does not meet your parameters. The inability to correctly determine your size is the problem of many women. We will teach you how to protect yourself from this and make the purchasing process clothes light and pleasant.

To create sizes women's clothing four parameters are used:

1. Height: measured from the floor to the top of the head.

2. Chest circumference: determined by the most protruding points of the chest.

3. Waist: measurements are taken at the narrowest point of the abdomen.

4. Hips: measured at their widest point.

Clothing manufacturers indicate height on dresses, trousers, and skirts so that things fit well to the figure not only in width, but also in length. The heights most often used for women's clothing for adults are 164 and 170 cm. Less common, but still found textile products for height 158 ​​cm.

So, if you are 168 cm tall, then take trousers, a dress, a skirt and outerwear in a size of 170 cm. Then the length of the product will suit you perfectly. But if you are 159 cm tall, and buy clothes for a height of 170 cm, then you will definitely have to hem your trousers, and the waistline on the dress will be lower than it should be, and, accordingly, the thing will no longer “fit” as it should.

The remaining three parameters, namely the girth of the chest, waist and hips, are needed so that the clothing fits in width, that is, does not hang like a bag, but is not tight either.

Knowing all four numbers, you can use the table to determine the clothing size that suits you.

Please note that the size of the bottom and top parts bodies may vary due to body shape. And if you buy a blouse with the number 44 on the label, then you don’t necessarily need trousers of the same size. Perhaps yours will be 46 or 48.

Sometimes on labels you can find two sizes indicated, for example, 48-50. This means that, depending on the degree of fit, the item may suit owners of two adjacent sizes.

You should also remember that some fabrics may shrink (viscose) or stretch (knitwear) after washing. Knowing this, purchase items made from this material one size larger or smaller, respectively.

How to find out your underwear size:

for women

Women's underwear consists of panties and a bra. And if when selecting the former, just like for trousers, only measurements of the waist and hips are needed, then with the choice of a bra the situation is more complicated. You've probably noticed that on the bra label there are symbols like 75B or 80C. This is the size indication. The numbers indicate the circumference under the bust, and the letters indicate the depth of the cup. Accordingly, to select the upper part of your underwear you need to take two measurements:

  • girth under bust. Measured under its base on the chest;
  • chest girth. To do this, put on a bra that fits you well without foam rubber or inserts, and use a measuring tape to measure the volume along the most convex part of your chest.

After this, determine your size according to the tables.

Bra size chart

Panty size chart

When choosing a bra, do not forget:

  • tighten or loosen the straps for maximum comfort;
  • move your chest to the center;
  • remove or insert inserts (if available) for full chest coverage.

for men

For men, choosing the size of underwear is simple:

  • for panties needs to be measured hip girth(some manufacturers also use data waist circumference);

Accordingly, the same size charts apply for men's underwear as for ordinary clothes(see above).

On most things, the size is now indicated in Latin letters, so we have attached a table of the correspondence between Russian and international sizes of men's underwear.

When buying underwear, try to choose something that is made from natural fabrics. Synthetic items interfere with the “breathing” of the skin and can cause serious diseases.

Underwear that is incorrectly sized can harm men's health.

How to find out your outerwear size?

When going shopping for a coat, jacket or even a fur coat, it is important to know your size of these items in order to clearly choose the right one, while saving time. Outerwear is subject to general rules sizing.

If you purchase products Russian manufacturer, then your size will be the result of dividing your chest circumference by 2. For example, if your bust circumference is 102 cm, then you need to purchase clothes of size 50. But the difficulty is that a large number of upper items are supplied from abroad, and from manufacturers in different countries dimensional grids excellent. Then our women's size chart outerwear.

And finally, a couple more tips for buying outerwear:

  • If the height of the model is indicated on the label, then choose the one closest to yours. Then the darts, waistline and hips will be in their place;
  • When purchasing outerwear, try it on over a sweater or thick jacket. So you will choose right size and avoid cramped belongings by keeping warm in cold weather.

By the beginning of the beach season, many women get into shape and also update their beach wardrobe. When choosing a swimsuit, know that only a thing that is correctly selected in style and size will decorate your figure. To do this, you need to soberly evaluate your figure and determine its advantages and disadvantages, i.e. understand what can be shown and what is better to hide. It is also necessary to take the correct measurements and determine the size of the swimsuit.

And it is selected similarly to underwear. That is, you need data on the circumference of the chest and under it, as well as the waist and hips. To select the sizes of either a one-piece or a two-piece swimsuit, use our tables given above in the chapter on underwear.

It is also worth considering the fact that international sizes are sometimes used for bralettes. The table below shows the relationship between them and Russian ones.

When choosing a swimsuit model, remember that most of them are designed for a height of 168 cm. If your height is plus or minus 4 cm from the specified height, then the waist and hips will “sit” where necessary. If there is a significant deviation in height from the given norm, the appearance in a swimsuit can be disappointing (this is especially true for the currently popular monokinis)

  • firstly, you can go shopping at any time of the day, whenever it is convenient for you;
  • secondly, you immediately see what sizes are available;
  • thirdly, such purchases sometimes provide an opportunity to save a lot of money;
  • fourthly, a wide variety of brands, styles and types of things.

But ordering clothes online also has back side- difficulty determining the size, especially if you buy on foreign sites.

In this case, you need to be guided by the table of correspondence between Russian and foreign sizes.

Let's say a few words about buying clothes from Chinese manufacturers. Despite the tables, the clothes they create usually run one or two sizes too small.

The ability to accurately determine your clothing size will insure you against disappointment in purchasing the item you like.

When buying women's clothing in a traditional or online store, it is important to know exactly the parameters of your body. There are different size charts, and not every company provides information on them. Be aware that in individual tables the values ​​may differ by several units, so it is important to make correct calculations in advance.

How to correctly determine your clothing size

Most domestic clothing manufacturers use the values ​​adopted by GOST back in Soviet times. When choosing a product in an online store, look at the indicated labeling and determine how well it corresponds to your parameters: it is important that the items do not hinder movement and are comfortable to wear.

To find out your body parameters, measure your hips, waist, chest: bust circumference is needed when purchasing shirts, blazers, jackets, T-shirts, tops; waist circumference, hips - when purchasing tights, leggings, jeans, trousers, shorts. Accurate measurements, calculations are carried out in underwear or subtle things. Use the following recommendations:

  1. Chest - girth is the distance from one armhole to the other at bust level. When taking measurements, apply the tailor's tape to the following points: to the most protruding places of the breasts (nipples), under the muscle cavity. At the back, the tape runs along the back, without sagging. When moving the centimeter up or down the bra cups, the value should not increase: for correct calculation, it is better to reduce the size a little. When determining the size, stand straight, do not slouch, or straighten your shoulders too much.
  2. Waist - girth is determined by the belt line. When measuring, do not pull in or open your stomach; the body should be in a natural position. Remember that the belt line is not necessarily located at the level of the navel; often the natural curve is located above or below the umbilical area. The main task is to find the smallest parameter.
  3. Hips - a centimeter is applied to the most protruding points of the buttocks. The tape should not sag, but if there is a belly, then the necessary margin is made in front.

“Cumpies” should take measurements in a special way:

  • With your chest down, lift it up a little.
  • Find your waist line like this: tie a thin ribbon on your belt and move actively.
  • When determining your hip circumference, do not pull your stomach in too much.

In this article we will give several useful tips, using which, any ordered item will fit perfectly on your figure.

Shopping in online stores can be a real challenge for many girls, since choosing the right size without trying it on can be quite difficult. What to do if the price, assortment and quality of things tempt you to go online shopping, but you don’t want to make a mistake with the size?

When purchasing from the Gepur online store, you don’t have to worry about making a mistake in size. In this article we will give some useful tips, using which any ordered item will fit perfectly.

How to determine your size correctly


First you need to take measurements of your parameters. Take a measuring tape and measure your chest, waist and hips. The tape should not be too tight and deform the skin, but also should not be too loose.

The correct measurement will be obtained when the tape fits tightly to the body. The chest and hips are measured in the protruding places, and the waist, on the contrary, in the narrowest place. In this case, the tape should be parallel to the floor. It is necessary to take measurements in underwear; the bodice must have no push-up effect.

The Russian size that is familiar to many is quite easy to determine - divide your chest measurement by 2. For example, if your chest circumference is 90 cm, then your size is 44 (the intermediate figure 45 should be rounded in favor of a smaller size).

Carefully study the size chart


Once you have determined your parameters, all that remains is to choose the appropriate size using the sizing chart. The Gepur website presents the most convenient sizing chart. In the far left column are the clothing sizes presented on our website: XS, S, M, L, XL, etc.

Next are European and Russian sizes, so you can choose your usual size and see what size from our website it will correspond to. If you are in doubt about the size, for more precise definition use your parameters and choose the appropriate size.


What should I do if my bust, waist and hip measurements are different sizes rather than the same?


There may be a situation where the bust and hip measurements correspond to size S, and the waist measurements correspond to size M - L, or vice versa. First of all, focus on the item you want to order. If these are trousers, you can determine the correct size by the girth of the hips; if this is a jacket or T-shirt, you need the girth of the chest and waist.

If the A-line dress is loose-fitting, bust measurement will be key, as is the case for loose-fitting sweaters and blouses. If you are still in doubt about the size, it is better to contact our call center, where the operator will advise you in more detail regarding each model.

Carefully read the description and reviews of the model you want to order


If the model is “big” or “small”, we indicate this in the description. Also pay attention to the compliance of the size “un.” - universal, which is also in the description of the model. Our clients often write useful reviews To different models on the website, which will also help you make the right choice.

Pay attention to parameters such as model length and sleeve length, with their help you will have a better idea of ​​how the clothes will fit your height and figure. Another important parameter when determining the size is the structure and properties of the fabric from which this or that model is sewn. For example, if the fabric stretches well, you don't have to worry about the size not being right for you. If the fabric does not stretch and you are unsure about the size, it is better to opt for a larger one.

We hope our tips were useful to you and will make your shopping even more enjoyable and easy!

When buying clothes in large stores, sometimes you wonder how you can determine yours. Only an experienced clothing seller can immediately select an option. the right size. It’s also difficult when buying clothes abroad, in stocks or online stores with deliveries from other countries. Different countries may have their own designations on clothing. Conformity tables for women's and children's clothing are in most cases posted on websites or on the walls of stock stores. From these you can determine the size you need.

How to find out your women's clothing size?

Domestic designations for women's clothing are based on such an indicator as half-chest circumference. This system has been adopted in Russia and the CIS countries. That is, if according to measurements the chest circumference is 92 cm, then the corresponding clothing size will be 46. On clothing tags Russian production It is customary to specify three parameters. The first is height, the second is chest volume, the third is hip volume. It is worth remembering that if the height is indicated as 165 cm, then this clothing may suit a woman whose height is in the range of 162-168 cm.

Sometimes when choosing outerwear (blouses, jackets, jackets) there is a need for other measurements. The same is necessary when choosing dresses. It is necessary to take into account the size of the waist and hips, as they may not correspond to the size of the chest. It is difficult for those with a non-standard figure to choose ready-made clothes in stores, so they often have to use the services of tailors. The same goes for women with All clothes for them require improvement.

Determining the size according to the table

To quickly calculate the required size, a table of women's clothing sizes was invented. How to determine your size using it? The table contains measurements that correspond to a specific size. There are only eight of them:

  • chest girth;
  • hip girth;
  • waist circumference;
  • hip height;
  • shoulder width;
  • wrist circumference;
  • arm length to wrist;
  • neck girth.

The standard height is 164-168 cm. For those with taller height, the sizes from this table are also suitable. Clothing manufacturers often make models that are designed to tall girls. This usually applies to trousers, since it is in this type of clothing that height matters. In this case, the height is indicated on the tag.

Bust

To obtain a reliable measurement result, measurements should be carried out in light clothing, with the help of a second person.

You should assume a natural posture and the person taking the measurement should place the tape tightly around your chest at the prominent points. When obtaining an intermediate result, the size should be chosen in the direction of increasing. That is, if after measuring it turns out that it is 94 cm, then you need to choose the size 48.

When measuring you need to use a tape good quality and not stretched, otherwise the results will be distorted. If clothes are ordered from an online store without trying them on, the selected model may not be suitable.

Hip girth

How to find out your women's clothing size if you know your hip size? By hip circumference you can determine the size of jeans, trousers, skirts, breeches, as well as the overall size. The label of clothing from domestic manufacturers usually indicates three parameters, the last of which is hip circumference. To correctly measure the volume of your hips, you need to lay a measuring tape around your hips along the most protruding points of your buttocks.

The parameters obtained as a result of measurements help answer the question of how to find out your clothing size. The size chart shows what standard clothing size the measured hip circumference corresponds to. For example, in pantsuit Size 42 trousers are suitable for women with hips of 90 cm.

By hip circumference you can also determine which fat group a woman belongs to. To do this, the growth rate is subtracted from the parameter obtained as a result of measurements. In total there are 4 complete groups. The first group includes women with a difference between hip and chest girth of -4 cm. A difference of -8 cm indicates the second group, -12 indicates the third and -16 indicates the fourth complete group.

Waist circumference

How to determine the size of women's clothing by waist circumference? It is necessary to measure your waist circumference strictly along the waist line.

This option is often used to select a high-waisted dress, trousers or skirt. Correctly selected waist size ensures comfortable wearing and emphasizes the figure. Therefore, it must include a table of sizes for women’s clothing. How to determine your size if your waist size is 74 cm? According to the table, this figure corresponds to clothing size 46.

Jeans typically come in sizes 24-44, which is the waist measurement in inches. For example, jeans size 29 is intended for women with a waist size of 70 cm.

Hips height

How to find out your women's clothing size based on hip height? This parameter is necessary when choosing trousers or jeans. Each clothing size has its own hip height. For example, clothes of size 42 are designed for hips with a height of 20 cm. This parameter is not as common as hip circumference, but it is important when choosing products with a low waist, which can simply sit unattractively with high hips. This applies to shorts, trousers, jeans and in some cases skirts.

To measure your hip height, you need to apply the tape from the top of your hips and take the measurement to a point on your hips that corresponds to the bottom line of your buttocks. This distance will be the height of the hips.

Shoulder width

Shoulder width is taken into account when choosing jackets, blouses, blazers and other clothing for the upper body. This parameter does not matter when choosing T-shirts and clothes with narrow straps. How to find out your women's clothing size by shoulder width?

Shoulder width is measured from the neck to the end of the shoulder joint. For clothing size 48, the shoulder width is 12.8 cm. In the next size, the width will increase by 0.2 cm. This parameter cannot indicate the size of the clothing, since with a chest volume of 92 cm, the shoulders can be only 12 cm wide . For non-standard figures I often have to alter my clothes. It is considered normal when the width of the hips coincides with the width of the shoulders.

Wrist circumference

Wrist circumference is also included in clothing size charts. It is necessary when choosing shirts with long sleeve, jackets, jackets with narrow cuffs and so on. When purchasing through online stores, many people ignore this parameter because they consider it unimportant. However, those with wide wrists often find their chosen clothing does not fit well.

Wrist circumference is measured by the protruding parts of the arm in front of the hand. This option is often used when choosing bracelets. The forty-second clothing size has sleeves with a wrist circumference of 15.5 cm. For the next size, this figure increases by 0.5 cm.

Arm length to wrist

Like wrist circumference, this indicator is used when choosing shirts and other long-sleeved clothing. It is included in clothing size tables so that all standard size clothing has the same parameters. On the one hand, this is good, since a person purchasing a jacket of his size without trying it on can know for sure that the length of the sleeves will suit him. On the other hand, owners long arms hard to find suitable clothing. The length of the arm is measured from the shoulder joint to the wrist and for size forty it corresponds to 58.5 cm. With each subsequent size, the length of the arm increases by half a centimeter.

Neck circumference

When choosing clothes with high collar the necessary parameter is neck girth. When you know parameters such as neck girth, it is easy to choose a well-fitting shirt model that fastens with the top button.

Compliance with all measurement rules will help you get reliable result and choose clothes with a comfortable neckline.

The measuring tape must be wrapped around the neck so that it fits snugly against the skin. The tape should be just above the junction of the shoulders and neck. How to determine the size of women's clothing by neck circumference? Received after correct measurement the result will correspond to a certain size. Intermediate figures must be rounded to big side. For example, a size 42 shirt has a collar with a volume of 35.5 cm. In fact, the volume of the shirt collar should be slightly larger than the circumference of the neck, which will ensure comfortable wearing.

Size chart for women's clothing in different countries

When buying clothes abroad or in stock stores, sometimes there is a problem with determining suitable size. Many countries have their own unique size chart, but you can find a match with domestic sizes. In European countries, women's clothing sizes range from 32 to 64. The exception is Italy, where the size chart starts with size 36 and ends with size 68. Also italian clothing may have tags with Roman numerals. Sizes in England also differ from European ones and are presented in two versions: from 4 to 36 and from 30 to 62.

Many clothing manufacturers, in addition to the size accepted in their country, also indicate the international size. The grid of international sizes is presented in the form of large Latin letters, which are recognizable in any country in the world. The smallest international size, which corresponds to 38th in the domestic system, is designated XXS, followed by XS, then simply S, L, M. All sizes after M, that is, 44th, are designated by the letter L with required quantity X (up to four) in front of her. The largest international size in the table is designated as 5XL. These marks can often be found on T-shirts, shorts, knitwear and underwear, except bras. By adopting such a sizing system, the supplier will not have to select the appropriate size for customers around the world.

The American size chart starts from zero, which corresponds to the domestic size 38. The next one after zero will be the second size and so on. Almost all dimensional grids have a step of two units.

Imports from Japan can also be found on the domestic market, so it would be useful to know the Japanese sizes of women's clothing. How to find out your clothing size? The size correspondence table will help determine it, from which it can be seen that the smallest, 3rd size of women's clothing corresponds to 38th domestic. The step in the Japanese grid is also two units, that is, the next size is 5th

European and Russian clothing sizes

Before we give you the compliance data European sizes Russian, as well as provide information on how to determine the American clothing size, let's talk about the basic rules that must be taken into account when taking measurements:

  2. Pay attention to your height. Sometimes for those who are very tall or too short, you have to choose a size larger or smaller.

European and Russian clothing sizes are quite easy to calculate. In the CIS, the most popular, naturally, is the Russian clothing size, and in order to determine it, it is necessary to measure the volume of the chest, waist and hips. The chest circumference is measured clearly horizontally, at the level of the nipples. We measure the waist circumference along its line, without trying to pull in the stomach or tighten the centimeter. We measure the hips at the fullest point on the buttocks.

After taking measurements, you can use the following clothing size chart.
