A comical situation: a woman comes to a clothing store, chooses outfits. Takes several dresses from different manufacturers, but the same size. And what turns out? One dress is small, the second is large, and the third is just right. How is that? The thing is, they come in small sizes. And there are European ones.

And if the label is the letter S, M, L and above? Then how do you know? For example, women's size 44 is S or M? Now we will tell you everything in detail.

International Standards

Imagine that you are abroad. In foggy and rainy London, with its beautiful boutique shops. I want to buy everything that you can see there. Such exquisite clothes. But the size tag is kinda weird.

Or take Japan. There is actually something very strange going on with the sizes. Just like in Italy. What's the matter? Because the sizes are different. More precisely, their designations are different.

Size 42-44 is S or M? And what does size 9 or 42 III mean? Below is a table of English, Italian, Japanese and American sizes.

Table for shopping abroad

A little later we will find out if size 44 is S or M. In the meantime, let's move on to our size table promised earlier.

This is what international clothing sizes look like.

How to know your size?

Women's size 44 is S or M? Let's first find out what are the parameters of a lady wearing 44 Russian clothing sizes.

Let's start by measuring our volumes with an ordinary centimeter (centimeter tape). We need to know the dimensions of the three main points: chest line, waist, hips. How is it measured?

Breast volume is measured at its most protruding points. The centimeter should fit snugly against the body and fit snugly at armpit level. Have you measured? We write down.

The waist is measured just above the navel, about one centimeter. The measuring tape at the waist does not need to be tightened.

The hips, like the chest, are measured at the most protruding points. The tape fits snugly, but does not tighten on the hips.

Have you measured? Recorded? Let's move on to the size chart.

The size	Bust	Waist	Hip girth
38	76	58	82
40	80	62	86
42	84	66	92
44	88	70	96
46	92	74	100
48	96	78	104
50	100	82	108
52	104	86	112
54	108	90	116

But what if a woman has parameters 90 - 72 - 98? This is called the intermediate size. It fluctuates between 44 and 46. When choosing clothes, you need to focus on a larger size. Oriented according to the circumference of the chest.

But what about men?

Size 44 is S or M for men? Let's first turn to the table of Russian sizes.

Russian size	Bust	Waist	Hip girth
44	88	70	92
46	92	76	96
48	96	82	100
50	100	88	104
52	104	94	108
54	108	100	112
56	112	106	116
58	116	112	120
60	120	118	124

How are measurements of male volumes carried out?

The centimeter fits snugly to the body, as mentioned above.

The circumference of the chest is measured along the shoulder blades, a centimeter passes through the armpits.

Waist circumference - 1 cm above the navel.

Hip circumference - at the most protruding points. The centimeter tape on the hips is not tightened, but it does not allow sagging.

XS, S and others

Size 44 is S or M? It's time to reveal this terrible secret. But let's pull a little more and talk about decryptions of one size or another. What do all these letters mean?

xxxs - very-very-very (extra-extra-extra small) small size.

xxs - very, very small (extra-extra small).

xs - very small (extra small).

s - small (small).

m - medium (medium).

l - large (large).

xl - very large (extra large).

xxl and above - very very big sizes(extra-extra large).

This is all very interesting and informative, but when will we move on to the main topic? Now. Keep reading to find out if sizes 42-44 are S, 44-46 are M, and 46-48 are L.

Russian size	foreign size
38	xxxs
40	xxs
42	xs
44	s
46	m
48	l (L)
50	xl (XL)

Now we know what size Russian women's 44 corresponds to. This is S. But what about men? The representatives of the stronger sex have the following dimensional grid:

Summarizing

The purpose of the article is to tell the reader about the correspondence of sizes. If the tag on a garment says it's a size S or M, is it a size 44 or a size 46? We found out that S is the size 44 for women in Russia.

Let's highlight the main aspects:

Before finding out what a person's "letter" size is, you need to find out your parameters and the Russian size.

We remind you that the chest is measured at the most protruding points. The measuring tape fits snugly to the body and runs along the line of the armpits.

Waist is measured 1 cm above the navel.

Measurements of the hips are carried out at the most protruding points. The tape does not need to be strongly tightened, but it is also unacceptable to let it sag.

All of the above applies to women's measurements.

Men's are carried out almost the same way. The chest is measured at the level of the shoulder blades, and the centimeter passes through the armpits.

Men's sizes are larger than women's.

All the necessary tables with proportions and sizes are presented in the article. They can be written out or printed.

Conclusion

Now the reader knows how to determine his clothing size. And yet, a small test: is size 44 S or M? Everyone remembers that this is S?

Knowing your parameters is useful not only for those who like to walk around clothing stores, but also for sewing lovers. Do you want to sew a beautiful thing that fits perfectly on the figure? It all starts small - with measuring the volume of your own body. Knowing them and being able to navigate in the size of clothes, you can sew a great suit. Or buy it without wasting time thinking about what size I wear.

• For shirts, jackets, jumpers, outerwear The main parameter is chest circumference.
• For trousers, the necessary parameters are the waist and hips.

How to measure your parameters

Chest girth - the centimeter tape runs along the most protruding points of the chest, then - under the armpits, on the back - a little higher. Waist circumference - measured strictly along the waist line. On any figure, this is the area around the navel. Hip circumference - a centimeter tape runs along the most protruding points of the buttocks.

How do we measure the parameters of things

Chest girth - the distance at chest level under the armholes. Waist circumference - the distance at the level of the upper cut in belt products for men. Hip circumference - the distance at the level of the protruding points of the buttocks. Front Length - Measured from the front from the highest point of the shoulder across the chest to the bottom of the product. Back length - measured from the seventh cervical vertebra along the line of the middle of the back to the bottom of the product. Sleeve length - measured along the outside of the sleeve from its top to bottom. Sleeve length from the neck - measured from the base of the neck or collar to the bottom of the sleeve. Inseam length - measured along the inseam of the legs from the crotch to the bottom. Shorts length - measured in centimeters from the top seam to the bottom of the product.

For your convenience, the decoding of the size chart for light and outerwear is given in the sizes of different manufacturing countries.

When buying clothes online, we quite often come across incomprehensible markings, for example, the size XL is written on the tag - what is it? Men's size differs from women's, moreover, jeans and, for example, underwear are marked differently. And it is very important to determine your parameter, because the thing cannot be tried on. What does the size XL, M, XXXL and the like mean, you will learn from this material.

We take measurements

Before proceeding with the determination of the size, you need to measure your parameters. To do this, you need a centimeter tape:

• Bust. Stand up straight and measure your chest. The tape should run in the middle of the shoulder blades and the most protruding points of the front of the chest (nipples).
• Waist. Measure the size of your belly, laying a centimeter tape strictly along the waist line.
• Hips. The measuring tape should run parallel to the floor along the most protruding points of the buttocks and thighs.

Now that you have measured all the parameters, you can begin to calculate your size. Let's make a reservation right away, the marking of the countries-manufacturers is different. But using the data from our tables, you can always determine whether a piece of clothing will suit you.

Are you planning to go shopping? Going shopping, buying new things, changing style and image is definitely an exciting and interesting activity. However, the incomprehensible letters that indicate the sizes S M and L, xl, xxl can make some confusion in the process of buying the item you like if you do not know what they mean.

How to determine the size of clothes

We used to think that the main indicator for determining the size is half the girth of the chest. It is important to take measurements correctly. The measuring tape should be placed exactly horizontally, firmly attached to the body without much stretch or sagging, and pass through the most prominent points of the chest.

The person on whom measurements are taken must be in underwear or light summer clothes. In order to decipher the sizes S M L to be as accurate as possible, we recommend that you make additional measurements:

chest girth;

waist circumference;

hip girth.

We measure the waist on a naked body, without pulling in or protruding the stomach, the position of the body should be relaxed and natural. Hips are measured at their widest point.

Keep in mind that if your body type, for example, corresponds to the sizes of T-shirts S M L, this does not mean that skirts or trousers will have the same dimension.

Correspondence of letter designations with digital

There are several generally accepted dimension markings: Russian, European and American. The international letter system is usually used.

In order to decide, S M L is what sizes, let's say right away that the letter designation represents the first letter of the corresponding English word:

S - Small (small);

M - Middle (medium);

L- Large (large).

The letter X (extra) can mean very small (XS) or vice versa very large (HL).

For women

Marking
Bust(cm)
Hip(cm)

To determine S M L what are these sizes in the Russian manner of designating the size range, it is better to use a special table. Standard European dimensional grid women's clothing translated Russian size S M L is as follows:

S - corresponds to 44;

M - for the value of POG 46 cm;

L - means Russian 48.

For men

The S M L clothing size chart for men has a similar look. The principle for determining men's metric values ​​is the same as for women's clothing:

S - corresponds to the 46th;

L stands for 50.

The size menswear S M L, unlike women's, includes such an indicator as neck girth. It is important when choosing and buying classic shirts.

For those who find it easier to navigate in the familiar dimensional grid, which, using tables, easily converts European designations into female Russian size S M L.

How not to make a mistake with the choice of clothes

Despite the fact that there is a generally accepted size chart S M L, the dimensions of clothing from different manufacturers can vary significantly. Sometimes it happens that the winter collection will be more complete than the summer one of the same brand. Please note that the product may be produced for the market of a specific country, and there may be a different metric system in use.

To be sure, it is better to use not average data, but size tables of the brand whose clothes you are going to buy. This information can usually be found on the manufacturer's website.

The surest way, how not to make a mistake when buying clothes, is to try on things in a company store. trademark. If you plan to buy clothes in an online store, then it would be right to visit a real outlet and try on several items of the selected brand.

If we summarize the data, we get a summary table of the correspondence between the size range of women's and men's clothing.
