Matching sizes of women's clothing: American, European, Russian grids

In our time, more and more often, clothing is purchased without fitting. For example, through the Internet, by phone, by catalogs. In addition, I want so much to bring something to my mother, my sister, my friend from abroad. However, there is a serious problem: how to determine the correspondence of the sizes of women's clothing in such a way that the thing does not have to be replaced or transferred?

It's one thing - the studio, which will take into account all the features of your figure, and quite another - the market or store. How many times have you heard from sellers who really want to sell the product as soon as possible : " Take it, just on your figure, it's good," and so on. How to be to clearly determine the correspondence of the sizes? There are a lot of women's clothes on the market. How not to get trapped and not to throw money away?

For a long time in Russia there is one system functioning that does not coincide either with the American or with the European one. The mesh size of clothing in Russia as the main parameter uses a semi-chest grip. So, if by the standards you got 92 cm - then you wear a 46 size (92: 2). However, few people have a standard figure: one has narrow hips, the other has wide hips. The same with the growth, with a semi-grip of the hand, with the length of the sleeve or pants. Therefore, it is necessary to know the conformity of the sizes of women's clothing to the standards of different countries. For example, Chinese goods most often have letter designations. And the European sizes do not coincide with the American ones.

First, take out the measurements. You will need data such as a half-chest, waist circumference and hips. Separately measure the length of the sleeve and trousers. Approximate correspondence of the sizes of women's clothing between Russian and international letters is given in the table.

However, one should take into account both the quality of the material, and the cut, and the individual features of the figure. Many manufacturers present their tablets, which indicate the parameters of the size of women's clothing. Unfortunately, not always such data can be found on the site or on the tag. By experience, we can say that German manufacturers tend to sew "with a margin." Among the tailors even there is an opinion that if you take off patterns and templates from the fashion magazines of Germany ("Diana", "Burda Moden"), then you should take a smaller size than ours. The same goes for finished things. The correspondence of the sizes of women's clothing by Russian and European standards can be determined by subtracting 6 from "our" half-breast. German or French 40th - is the Russian 46th, and their 42nd is equal to the domestic 48th.

Otherwise, the situation is with dresses from the USA or Great Britain. There is a different correspondence. The size of women's clothing, as well as manufacturers, there is a lot. The simplest way is to present the grid in this way: Russian sizes: 40, 42, 44, and so on. European - we take 6. American and English differ from each other by 2, that is, in the USA the 4th size is the same as in the United Kingdom - the 6th. But from European - 30 and 28 respectively. Consequently, the American 4th will be English 6th, in Europe 34th, and in Russia 40th size.

Therefore, buying clothes from catalogs on the Internet or ordering through acquaintances, we must remember about these differences. In addition, in some countries there are separate measures for jackets and coats. Of great importance are the patterns and the style of one or another producer. For example, Danish clothing is very often free and spacious. Therefore, if you want to wear a sweater or dress that emphasize the figure, you will have to choose a size, or even two smaller. It is worth paying attention to the reviews of other customers. As a rule, they write about whether the size they are wearing coincides with the received product or whether it is necessary to take a smaller or larger one.
