How is the size range determined?

Each of us, coming to the store, encounters such a notion as the size range of clothes. After all, it is important for us not only the quality of things, the attractiveness of the model, it is important for us that the thing is well-seated, does not sting anywhere, or, conversely, does not slip. Therefore, you need to know your size.

In general, the size range is a collection of all sizes of linen, shoes, hats, clothes offered by manufacturers. The size range of each type of clothing is determined by the specific dimensions of certain parts of the human body. The most important measures are the girth of the waist, chest, hips, neck, growth.

To properly take measurements, it is better to ask someone for help. A person must be in his usual underwear. It is necessary to stand straight, not straining. The waist and hip measurement line runs horizontally. Hips and chest are measured at the most prominent points of these parts of the body.

The determination of the total size depends on these indicators, on gender, and also on age, when it comes to children's clothing.

Thus, when determining the size of women's T-shirts, sweaters, turtlenecks, blouses, chest girth and growth are important, when buying men's vests, sweaters, jackets, the waist is also added to these figures, and, when acquiring a man's shirt, attention should be paid to the neck circumference.

The dimensional range takes into account all the measures in the aggregate. Let's consider for the beginning female sizes of clothes and the measurements used at their definition. The basic size is defined as half the chest girth. For example, the girth of the chest at 80 cm corresponds to 40 size. In this case, for each size there is a corresponding volume of hips:

• 42 size - 92 centimeters;
• 44 size - 96 centimeters;
• 46 size - 100 centimeters;
• 48 size - 104 centimeters;
• 50 size - 108 centimeters;
• 52 size - 112 centimeters;
• 54 size - 116 centimeters;
• 58 size - 120 centimeters;
• 60 size - 124 centimeters;
• 62 size - 128 centimeters.

In addition, there are special features in determining the size of bras. To find the most suitable, you need to measure the girth under the chest in addition to the chest girth. The second indicator will determine the volume of the bra itself, which is indicated by the numbers on the tags. The difference between the two indicators determines the completeness of the cup, denoted by the Latin letter: it changes every 2 additional centimeters of the volume, starting at 12 centimeters.

The man's size range is considered by the semi-grip of the chest for the upper objects of the wardrobe and by the semi-grip of the hips - for the trousers.

The size series of different countries are somewhat different. Thus, American men's clothing from the Russian falls behind by 8 points to 50 sizes, after - by 10 points. For female things, this figure corresponds to 38. For example, 44 size of a man's sweater in Russia corresponds to 36 size in the USA, and 44 size of a female blouse - to the sixth size of the USA. With European sizes, this difference is 6 points. There is also an alphabetic, international, designation of the size range.

Women's sizes:

• 38 XXS
• 40 XS
• 42 S
• 44 - 46 M
• 48 - 50 L
• 52 - 54 XL
• 56 XXL
• 58 - 62 XXXL

Men's sizes:

• 44 - 46 S
• 48 - 50 M
• 52 - 54 L
• 56 - 58 XL
• 60 - 62 XXL
• 64 - 70 XXXL

Its peculiarity is also the definition of the size of the child. The size range of children's clothing most manufacturers build, relying on the growth of the child and based on the average for each age, that is, the height of the child is equal to the size indicated on the label of his clothes. This is the most common size range, although other dimensions are often used, for example, in the United States, growth is not indicated by centimeters, but by inches. Therefore, when buying clothes for a child, it is worth paying attention to the age indicated on the tag. In most cases, manufacturers indicate it along with the accepted size.
