Russian sizes of clothes and shoes (table)

The choice of clothing without fitting is focused on knowing the size of the person to whom it is purchased, so as not to buy clothes "by eye". With the expansion of the market there appeared a large number of types of dimensional nets, especially for clothing and footwear from European countries. Russian sizes do not correspond to the size of the European countries, which leads to difficulties in choosing the next outfit not only in the store, but also when shopping online.

The basic standards of dimensional grids

In the manufacture of clothing in a number of countries in the Old World, manufacturers are guided by the figures of a person in centimeters. The European clothing production system is for the most part recognized by the standard EN 13402, which not all countries have accepted, and the choice of things has become even more difficult.

Russian clothing sizes are oriented to GOST R 53230-2008. According to GOST, the Russian standards are equal to half-engagement along the breast line. For example, the size of clothing 50 is equal to the girth of the chest a hundred centimeters. This system works for dresses, tunics, shirts and clothes on the upper half of the trunk. For the lower half of the body, additional body measurements are carried out.

There is no complete matching of sizes for types of clothes for the bottom (trousers, breeches, skirts) with the top type (blouse, shirt, sweater), so it is worthwhile to conduct additional measurements of the body.

Removing the measurements for choosing clothes

To remove the measurements, it is worth to have a new centimeter tape, because the old one can have some differences due to the stretch from use and time. Also you need to ask for help from another person, because the measurements taken by yourself will most likely be inaccurate, and it's extremely inconvenient to do it yourself.

It is better to take measurements in the morning or afternoon, while the body is not tired yet. Do not stoop or stretch your torso up. Otherwise, the results may fail, the measurements will show a different size. Accordingly, and the clothes chosen with the help of such sizes, will be either small and panting, or large and loose.

For correct removal of measurements it is necessary to stand on a flat surface, straightening shoulders. The stomach and buttocks are not drawn in, the person stands in a relaxed position. Ideally, measurements are taken from a person in the nude, but thin clothes or tight clothes are allowed.

The main measures for choosing clothes

For the selection or sewing of clothes for the Russian dimensions, the following types of measurements are used:

• Chest circumference. Merka removes a centimeter tape along the most convex part of the chest, strictly parallel to the floor.
• Waist circumference. The narrowest part of the abdomen is measured above the hips and below the breast.
• Hip girth. Measuring takes place on the convex parts of the thighs with the gripping of the bulging parts of the buttocks.
• Length of clothes along the sleeve. The measurement is from the beginning of the shoulder to the desired length of the sleeve.
• The length of the skirt or breeches. This measure can vary depending on the person's desire and is measured from the top of the product to the bottom of it.
• The length along the inner seam of the trousers. This measure is better to remove from the already available trousers of suitable size along the inner edge.

Children's clothing

Small shalunis need to upgrade the wardrobe much more often for adults for the most understandable reason - the children are growing. Russian sizes of children's clothing - this is metric data, so correctly taking the measurements of the child, you can safely proceed to buy. Russian standards of children's clothing take into account the height, weight of the child and his step length, therefore they have double notations.

Clothes for women

Russian sizes for women in clothing have an orientation to the semi-grip of the chest and thighs, so it is easy to calculate with accurate measurement of the body. With the knowledge of such parameters you can buy dresses, blouses, pants or shorts, but for women's pants, suits there is a separate grid.

The table of Russian sizes is also for women of large complexion, it will help not to test complexes when choosing clothes. There are tables of lingerie, socks and stockings.

Such calculations will help to cope with the purchase of a gift for a woman in the form of linen or clothes, even the most modest man. To do this, it is enough to know the size and go to the store, you can additionally get advice from employees. If you know the exact size, the choice of clothes will not take long.

Clothing for men

Men do not like to shop, make them go shopping - it's almost an impossible task, so the choice of clothes can lie on the shoulders of the second half or a close person. In order not to waste time on the choice of clothes for a man like "this should fit" and not run afterwards with the problem of exchange, it is necessary to know the necessary parameters. Men's Russian clothing sizes table shows quite clearly, therefore, correctly taking measurements, you can buy things even a very busy person.

For men, the Russian dimensional mesh also has a benchmark for measurements on the chest. But the main difference in the measurements for the strong half is the presence of a measurement on the neck. It is this indicator that will help to get shirts and sweaters that do not compress the throat and do not hang on the breast with a shapeless clod. Such a measure is removed with tape from the seventh cervical vertebra to the jugular cavity strictly and without distortion.

To buy clothes, men should know and measure at the waist, the overall height and length of the legs along the inner and outer seam. Armed with precise measures, it is easy to calculate the size of the outfits.

Jeans and their sizes

Classic jeans are trousers made of cotton fabric of large weaving. The material has a dense structure and rarely stretches, which prevents you from choosing jeans at random. The Russian sizes of jeans correspond to certain indicators of the figure. Among them, we can distinguish the length of the product by the inner seam and the width of the waist.

With the advent of the sale of jeans of various models, differing in planting, it is necessary to know not only the size at the waist, the length of the product, but also the girth of the hips. Thus, pants made with a low fit will not fall off and sit flat.

When choosing jeans, you can allow a slip in the growth of a person with the condition of the future filing. To such a measure should be resorted to with a non-standard figure or with a high growth of a person. As a rule, almost every purchased model of jeans due to poor stretching of the fabric needs such a fit.

Footwear and Measurements

Purchase of shoes is desirable in the presence of the future owner due to various physiological features of the foot. Shoes should be comfortable, otherwise you can hurt your health and get orthopedic problems. But if there is confidence that the legs have a standard shape, then you can do without the presence of a person who is getting a new thing.

The table of the Russian sizes of footwear has a direction on measurements of a foot of the person which can be spent both on a leg, and on an insole of already available footwear. Measure the length of the foot preferably in the daytime, when the legs have not yet acquired puffiness. On a clean sheet put your foot and mark the edge of the thumb and the end of the heel. We measure the ruler or tape, the result can be checked against the tables of shoes sizes.

Without the presence you can buy shoes in the form of slippers or slippers, but boots, shoes or boots require the presence of a person for fitting. Moreover, it is not necessary to buy shoes for children independently, even knowing exact measurements on the foot. The child should feel the new thing and tell about his feelings.

Methods for selecting a size for a non-standard shape

Russian tables of sizes were compiled in the USSR and have not been adjusted since. The calculation of such tables goes to standard figures, so people who have a small growth or large physique, it is much harder to focus on such calculations, even with knowledge of accurate measures. In this case, you can advise you to choose clothing according to the size of the already existing wardrobe, or purchase it somewhat more freely and use the services of the atelier workers.

Even the most accurate dimensions can not guarantee a comfortable fit. Therefore, it is worth choosing the time and doing the fitting of things yourself. This approach not only does not burden, but also helps to choose your style in clothes.
