Women's clothing. Russian size chart for women's clothing Measurements for woman size 48

Beautiful and fashion clothes- this is not only a necessity, but also a kind of hobby for many women who adhere to a certain style and do not want to lag behind fashion. But women's clothing should not only be stylish, but also fit properly. In order to feel comfortable in a fashionable outfit, you need to know your clothing size.

In the past, clothing imported into our country from abroad was re-labeled according to domestic standards. Therefore, it was usually not difficult for customers to quickly determine what size clothes were available in the assortment and what to take with them to the fitting room. In Russia - and first throughout the USSR - the size women's clothing indicated by two numbers corresponding to the half-circumference of the chest. Patterns have always been made taking into account the characteristics standard figure. This marking is still used today when decorating a sales area, sorting and hanging clothes by size. On the price tags of domestic models, if necessary, the full girth of the chest, hips and the numerical expression of height are indicated. These are the standards for designating clothing sizes - women's, men's and children's.

Features and differences of sizing charts in different countries

Later, the Russian buyer became acquainted with other types of markings: British, American, European, some Asian, and in general became accustomed to them, since sellers today are much more often asked questions about women’s clothing, the size of which is indicated by one letter rather than by numbers.

The European standard for letter designation is officially considered international.
This:

• L - large - large;
• M - middle - average;
• S - small - small.

Sometimes there are markings S/M and M/L, corresponding to transitional sizes.

To designate sizes larger than 48 and smaller than 44, the letter X - extra is used. It is added only to sizes L and S on the left and means a decrease in the small and an increase in the large size:
XL - 52;
XXL - 54-56;
XS - 42;
XXS - 40 and so on.

The size of women's clothing in most European countries, as well as Turkey, corresponds to Russian ones.

The American size differs from the Russian one by 34 on the smaller side, that is, the Russian 44 is the American 10.
European sizes are 6 smaller than Russian ones, for example, European 46 is Russian 52.
French sizes have the following meaning:
T1 - S;
T2 - M;
T3 - L;
T4 - XL;
T5 - XXL;
T6 - XXXL.
But Chinese-made products are sometimes labeled very unpredictably, and you can only find out what size clothing it is by trying it on. Many disappointments occur due to the discrepancy between the indicated sizes of Chinese women's clothing and Russian ones, so conscientious sellers on the Internet must post size tables on their pages.

How to determine your clothing size?

To find out your clothing size, use a sewing measuring tape. Bust circumference is measured at the protruding points chest in a state of exhalation and without clothing (or in light clothing). The resulting values ​​must be divided in half. An even whole number will indicate your size. If the girth shows from 99 to 103 cm, your size is 50, if from 95 to 98 cm, it is 48, and so on. The measuring tape should fit snugly to the body, not sag or press.

This is the main indicator that determines the size of clothing. There are others. For example, to determine the size women's trousers, skirts, shorts, the semi-circumference of the hips is taken into account, for underwear- hips and waist, for swimsuits and bras - half-circumference of the chest and under the chest, for dresses, coats, suits and trousers, height is also required, but some manufacturers indicate the length of the back. This is enough to find out your clothing size.

How to measure your parameters

In order to correctly and accurately measure your parameters, you need to know where to measure them.

• Chest circumference I - the tape passes through the armpits.
• Chest girth II - the tape passes along the protruding points of the chest and the middle of the shoulder blades, the measurement is taken with the bra on.
• Waist circumference - the tape is located on the narrowest part of the body under the ribs, above the navel.
• Hip circumference - the tape passes along the most convex points of the buttocks, taking into account the protrusion of the abdomen.
• Shoulder width is measured from the extreme point of the shoulder to the point where the neck meets the body.
• Sleeve length is measured from the extreme point of the shoulder to the first joint thumb arm or elbow/forearm.
• The length of the inseam of the trousers is measured along the inner thigh.
• The length of the side seam is measured from the protruding point of the thigh on the outside of the leg.

It is impossible to take the last two measurements yourself, so it is better to use the help of another person to measure your parameters, or even better, turn to professionals.

Swimwear and bras: sizing chart and markings in Russia and other countries

Russian products are produced under the same markings as European ones. They take into account the cup number and the circumference under the bust in centimeters. In the US and Australia, swimsuits and bras are labeled differently, and with this chart you can easily determine whether a swimsuit or bra made in the USA or Europe is right for you.

Clothes for women of large sizes (up to 72) are also produced for women of large build or very tall. Here, fashion designers rely on the girth of the chest and hips, and when trying on, customers should focus on a larger volume.

As for the choice sportswear, both size and height are important here, but the main role is played by its functionality: for example, it is hardly suitable for yoga!

Chest girth is determined as follows: the measuring tape is applied to three main points: on the upper border of the side line of the bra, under the armpit and at the most protruding place of the chest. It is important that when moving the tape up or down the bra cup, the size does not increase, but only decreases - in this case, the measurements will be correct. Waist circumference is the minimum length of the tape, that is, as you move up/down, the figure only increases. Not all women's waists are located at the level of the navel; the natural curve may be higher or lower, and your task is to find the smallest size. Hip circumference - the measuring tape is not applied in the middle of the buttocks, but along the most protruding part of them, while in front it should not fall or rise too high - the circumference should be parallel to the floor.

All measurements are taken in underwear, in a standing position.

How we measure things

To make it easier to understand the size selection of women's clothing, we offer a breakdown of the size table:

Chest circumference - the distance from one sleeve armhole to another along the bust level. Waist circumference - for shoulder items - the value in centimeters between the extreme points of the item along the waist level, and for waist items - the length between the side points of the upper cut. Hip circumference - the number of centimeters at the level of the maximum volume of the buttocks. Length is a parameter measured from the shoulder so that the line passes through the most protruding part of the chest to the edge of the item. Back - measured from the bottom vertebra of the neck in the middle of the back to the edge of the item. Sleeve length is determined along the outer edge from the shoulder to the very bottom. Shoulder length - determined from the neck seam to the sleeve edge. The length of the inseam is from the crotch of the jeans to the bottom of the seam. The length of skirts and shorts is determined from the top cut to the edge of the product.

Clothing size 48 - what are the parameters?

In general, size 48 corresponds to clothing labeled as XL. But recently, clothes have started to run small. You should always take this into account when buying clothes, especially online.

For size 48 the following parameters are chest volume 96, hips 104.

Russian size 48 (also international - M, European - 42, USA -14) has the following parameters of a female figure:

• chest volume - 94-97 cm;
• waist size - 78-81 cm;
• hip volume - 102-104.

Unfortunately, today it is quite difficult to rely only on sizes when choosing clothes, since quite often the tags with them do not correspond to reality.

For size 48 the following parameters: chest size 96, hips 104, like 46 this size is classified as L, for 46-48 the following parameters: 94-100 for the chest, waist 71-77, hips 99-104. All data is given for height 165.

Size options - 48

chest volume-96-100

hip volume-104-110

The same parameters apply to size L.

On products, as a rule, they write size 46-48. And to more accurately determine the size, the half-girths are removed

In general, initially women's sizes The clothes were designed to be easy to identify. So size 48 in women's clothing is calculated by dividing the waist by two to get 48. This is ideal option size 48 initially, but now due to the fact that there is a fashion for thin people, the sizes also began to decrease. And the so-called small sizes 48 are already approaching 46.

Clothing size 48 is a great size. A woman of this size looks slim and fit. But talk about exact dimensions I don't have to now. The fact is that every designer cuts as he wants, as they say. I buy things from our Russian designers and I can tell you that their parameters are generally very messed up. Very often things are simply too small.

Therefore, the best option is to try it on, which is what I do.

In general, as for the ideal numbers, the correct ones, there are very specific numbers:

breast volume at size 48 is within 97 centimeters;

waist size for size 48 is within 80 - 82 centimeters;

hip volume at size 48 ranges from 103 to 105 centimeters.

I would like to clarify that on the World Wide Web you can find both the number 102 and the number 106. Unfortunately, there is no need to talk about accuracy.

My advice to everyone is to choose several sizes and then you will definitely find yours. If you buy online, it is better to choose a store with fitting. The choice is large, there will be no problems.

Clothing size 48 refers to the size of women of normal build, size 46 and smaller is the size for petite women. Well, at least this is the division according to GOST. Of course, I don’t agree with him and I think that size 46 means women of normal build, and size 48 clothes is a reason to think about being overweight.

48 (L-XL) size of women's clothing is the following parameters: chest volume is 96 cm, waist volume is 78 cm and hip volume is 102 cm.

Options men's clothing size 48 (S) differ from women's parameters: the chest volume is also 96 cm, but the waist volume is 82 cm and the hip volume is 100 cm.

That is, according to GOST, women have a thin waist and wide hips!

Chest circumference ninety-six centimeters, waist circumference eighty-two centimeters, length of the side seam of trousers one hundred three centimeters, these are the parameters of a men's size forty-eight, with a height of one hundred seventy-one centimeters.

Size 48, well, a little bigger for my mom. She really is very beautiful woman. In terms of size, this is not small, but not large either. The girths are very normal. Hips are only 104 and waist is only 71. Mom sometimes wears things a little smaller because the fabrics stretch a lot. And I agree with all the girls that there is scope. the waist is written up to 77. I think that the hip circumference may be larger.

For women in this size, the following (approximate) maximums exist: 95-97/80-82/103-105. It all depends on the sizing charts of the manufacturer itself, and that. Which clothing group are you choosing the product from? If you choose standards where clothes from sizes 40 to 50 are sewn, then, yes, there is a risk of running small in some respects.

But if you choose Plus size - separate products for girls with curves, then you have a better chance of hitting the mark. Since there some nuances of the figures are taken into account more, and allowance for non-standardity is more often allowed. I think, if in doubt, then only try it on - either adjust it with underwear and adjust it to the limits, or buy a little more of the item. Although less is better... - for incentive!)

A figure for size 48 may have different parameters. But mostly they are worn with a chest volume within 97 centimeters. If we take the waist size, then approximately 80 centimeters. And at the hips a fluctuation of 103 - 105 centimeters is possible. Although manufacturers sometimes make mistakes and sizes may not match, this is something to consider.

Welcome! Today you will learn how to avoid making a mistake with your purchase when going to a real or virtual store for the new season. After all, very often, looking at the letters on labels, we ask ourselves questions.

We will answer the question: “XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL - what is the size of women’s clothing in Russian style (38,44,46,48,50,52,54,56,60,62, etc. .)?”

In this article, we will take a closer look at what letter designations correspond to certain numbers, and learn how to learn how to correctly compare them with your volumes.

We determine the parameters for the size grid (Russia)

Now let’s find out what you need to know to determine S, M, L, XL, what are the sizes of women’s clothing? To do this, let’s remember how Russian is defined size range. (Image clickable)

However, we remember that for tall girls figures are slightly adjusted to account for growth.

As we can see from the tables, Russian sizes are determined by the half-circumference of the chest or hips. This means that we divide the figure obtained when measuring the volume of the chest or hips by 2 and get the actual size.

Since most women have top and bottom measurements that do not match, we take this into account when purchasing clothes.

So, for example, if the chest volume is 92 cm, the size of the blouse or sweater is 46, but the hip volume may be 100, then it is better to choose trousers or skirts of 50 orXL.

How to take measurements to determine size

To correctly make the necessary measurements, we just need to ask someone close to us for help.

We will need high-quality, non-stretched tailor's tape, a mirror and an assistant.

How to measure chest circumference: dress in thin, light clothes without underwear, cover the chest at the most protruding points, making sure that there is no sagging in the back, but also without tightening too much.

How to measure the waist circumference: we measure the waist on a naked body, without pulling in the stomach or spreading it out - we maintain the natural position of the body.

How to measure the circumference of the hips: we measure the hips by their widest part, and not by the protruding buttocks, especially if there are “breeches,” as this will significantly affect the correct determination of the size.

Now you know how best to determine what size clothing it is, for example, 42 or 50, S or XL, and you can accurately purchase the desired item in a real or virtual store. The main thing is to remember how important it is to correctly measure your own parameters - the accuracy of your choice will depend on this!

This information will help you easily learn how to measure your figure. In special tables you can find your size of outerwear, trousers, skirts and jeans in all generally accepted classifications.

Every woman simply must know her body shape. When ordering clothes from the Internet or visiting a store, this knowledge will become a real lifesaver. Moreover, taking measurements will not take much time, and while shopping it will help you focus not on the waist circumference or sleeve length, but on the color of the new thing and its design.

Measuring your body parameters is easy

Right Four simple rules will help:

1. Take measurements in thin clothing that does not distort your figure.
2. The centimeter should fit well to the body, but not be too tight or loose.
3. To make the measurement easier, you can ask another person for help.
4. You need to stand straight and relax as much as possible.

Basic measurements can be as follows:

Waist circumference you need to measure at the narrowest part (located between the ilia and lower ribs), your arms should be relaxed and lowered. Measurements are taken horizontally, parallel to the floor. Do not pull in your stomach.

Bust It is also measured horizontally and parallel to the floor, the centimeter crosses the most protruding points of the chest, armpits and then the shoulder blades. The measurement is taken while exhaling.

Hip circumference determined by the most protruding place; if the stomach is at the same level, you need to measure along with it. It is better to take several measurements in a row - the largest value is the correct result.

Sleeve length measured from the intended shoulder seam to the desired length or wrist along the upper edge of the arm.

Have you decided to sew yourself? Check out GOST!

Dress with taste, carefully selecting every element of the wardrobe, be a role model, shock, attracting admiring glances is the dream of all fashionistas. But among a large number of things, sometimes even exclusive ones, it is very, very difficult to find “yours.” Especially if you have a non-standard figure. In this case, the ability to sew yourself will be very useful.

And in other cases it won’t hurt - it’s convenient, and it can also become a good hobby, inspire and delight.

If you feel the strength and desire to start sewing at an amateur level, then your reference books should certainly become not only various tutorials on cutting and sewing, but also state standards.

What is this for? GOST, as a technical passport for washing machine. To wash this or that item, you can run any program, relying only on advice on the Internet, but you need to be prepared for the fact that the result may be disappointing: the item will not wash or the equipment will fail.

To prevent this from happening, it is better to use proven instructions prepared by experts in their field.

And let after 2011, compliance with GOSTs in Russian Federation has become optional (now they are in the nature of recommendations), there are still many useful information.

GOST 31396-2009

All sizes accepted in Russia are reflected in GOST 31396-2009 “Classification of typical female figures by height, size and weight groups for clothing design.”

The document describes typical female figures according to parameters such as height, size and weight groups, for the purpose of designing clothing (material - textiles, fur and leather). The standard itself consists of the following main sections:

• measuring instruments;
• measurement methods;
• determination of the typical figure of a woman;
• classification .

The State Standard reveals such an important concept as anthropometric points - starting points for a number of measurements (“4.2 Anthropometric points"). For the convenience of users, they are all illustrated, and methods for determining them are given in special tables.

The methodology for determining dimensional characteristics and their measurement is also reflected in the table and figure (“4.3 Dimensional characteristics. Measurement program»).

In paragraph 5 “Definition of the typical figure of a woman” This GOST tells us by what dimensional characteristics the typical figure of a woman is determined, how many typical figures and fat groups this document establishes. Paragraph 6 provides a classification of typical female figures.

It came into force as a standard on 01.07.2010.
