Women who love to go shopping are often called spenders. But the benefits of shopping - if you follow simple rules and know some secrets - are sometimes greater than a visit to a psychotherapist!
That is why we decided to write a series of articles on this topic and lift the veil of secrets of this amazing and fascinating activity.
The boots come in regular shoe sizes, but it is important to consider the shape of the calf to avoid disappointment when using the boots. Women with larger calves may not be able to zip up the boots, but they will most likely be able to fit into the boots.
While swimsuit sizes can usually be determined by self-measuring and using this unit converter, it's helpful to keep the tips below in mind when choosing a style, especially when shopping online. Women with a small cup can improve appearance, choosing styles with ruffles or fringes in the bust area. A wider underbust band, leash-style straps, and swimsuits sold by cup size can offer additional support. Tankinis are a recent trend at the time of writing, but don't look flattering on many women when compared to bikinis or one-piece swimsuits. So if you're shopping online, it's best to try a few in store first to make sure you're happy with the look. Some swimsuits are firmer in some problem areas, such as the stomach, and offer extra support. They may also include special design features such as pleats to create the visual illusion of thinness. Curvy-looking monokinis can also improve the look because they can hide the stomach but provide less coverage than a regular one-piece swimsuit. For women who often swim in pools with chlorinated water, it is important to take care of your swimsuit. Chlorine breaks down fabric, even chlorine-resistant ones, so if your swimsuit feels less snug around your body, especially your bottom, it could be a sign that you've lost weight and need a different size, but it could also indicate that the tissue becomes damaged. Sometimes it can be difficult to notice without carefully examining the swimsuit. To avoid embarrassment, you should check your swimsuit regularly, especially if it no longer feels snug. To do this, hold it against the light and check if you can see your hand through the fabric, and also check if the fabric is tight in some places. This fabric damage is especially noticeable on non-black or non-aquatic swimsuits that are not double lined. Suit with lining can be good choice if you swim frequently as it will last longer. Women who swim frequently for exercise may benefit from additional support if they have larger breasts. Competitive suits provide fabric pressure support. Ultimately, it is the swimmer's decision which one to use, but comfort and safety, as well as firm chest support, are extremely important to maintaining healthy and beautiful breasts. The push-up style can lift your chest and keep them from drooping. . Lingerie sizes also vary by country, depending on the statistically average body type.
In today's article we will talk about one of the main secrets - the size chart women's clothing. Yes, yes, specifically about sizes, markings, etc., since these notorious numbers are the key to a successful and enjoyable shopping experience. And their ignorance sometimes overshadows and causes difficulties when choosing the thing you like.
Determining the size of women's clothing depends on the country of origin. On the markings adopted in Russia, the first number indicates height (your height should fall within the range of ±3 cm), the second number indicates chest circumference (by dividing this number in half you will get the size number - in other words, half-chest circumference is the key to determining the size of women's clothing ), and finally, the third number is the hip circumference.
She may not even be able to find her size in general because the average size there is generally smaller. This is partly because thin is valued and desirable there, and eating habits are healthier than in North America and some European countries. There is a lot of mystery surrounding the calculations to determine your bra size online, probably because bra retailers prefer women to be measured in store and feel obligated to buy something there, but you can calculate your bra size yourself.
Note: if we are talking about waist products (for example, panties), then the label contains a single number - hip circumference. The inter-size difference in hip circumference is ±2 cm.
Below we provide average values, based on which you can easily determine your size:
Women's clothing sizes (height 168 cm):

Bra sizes in inches are calculated as follows. Steps 1 to 3 determine the band size, and the remaining steps determine the cup size. 
Some fitters recommend that when calculating cup size, the bust should also be measured at the curve at the waist, with the bust facing down towards the floor. The average of the two sizes is then used.
Breast size and possibly bra size may also vary throughout the year or even month depending on overall health, water retention, hormonal balance in the body and other factors. Many specialty lingerie stores offer a measuring service and advise measuring correctly before you start bra shopping, but because of these differences between brands, it can be helpful to try different bras in multiple cups and ranges to determine the best fit for a given style.
Bust circumference 80 84 88 92 96 100 104 110
Waist circumference 62 66 70 74 78 82 86 92

Shoulder length 12 12 12 13 13 13 13 14
Sleeve length 59 59 60 60 61 61 61 61
As for international labeling, it is somewhat different from domestic one. Because in Europe and the USA, letters are more often used to indicate sizes. They are deciphered as follows:
When using bras, it is recommended to use the loosest hook possible as the band will become looser with a few washes. Signs that your bra doesn't fit are: The breast tissue is too crowded at the top or sides of the cup, or the bottom pad is not flat against the chest. This usually means the cup size is too small.
This indicates that the group size is too large or too small, although it may also suggest that the problem is related to the cup size. As a general rule, a bra that fits well should allow you to comfortably insert two fingers between the bra and your skin. This usually means the band size is too large and not dense enough. The band supports 70 to 90 percent of the weight, so adjusting the size and perhaps choosing a wider band for heavier breasts may be the answer. The stripe is not flat across the back or parallel to the ground. This usually means the band is too large.
- This usually happens when the cup is too big.
- The band fits too loosely or too tightly.
- The straps dig into the leather.
· XS (extra small) - Russian size 42;
· S (small) - Russian size 44;
· M (middle) - Russian size 46;
· L (large) - Russian size 48.
Larger or smaller sizes are obtained by adding one or more X (Extra) prefixes before L or S, respectively. That is, size XS will correspond to Russian 42nd, and XXL will correspond to Russian 52nd.
For example, wider bands or lingerie styles can provide more support, and push-up bras can provide lift and produce beautiful cleavage while still providing ample coverage. If none of the above problems are present, it may also be a good idea to do a final fit check by leaning forward, placing the bra cups on your chest, securing the hooks, then lifting and securing the position of your breasts in the cups. The final check should be to ensure that the breasts do not protrude from the cups on either side.
However, along with letters, just as in Russia, digital designation is practiced, but there is one significant difference - they do not need to be converted into centimeters - they have slightly different symbols.
In tabular ratio size chart looks like this:
Size XSS M L XL XXL XXL XXL XXL
Size 42 44 46 48 50 52 54 56 58
Briefs, also known as panties, vary in size based on the manufacturer, but are easier to find the right fit than a bra. Socks are usually measured by shoe size, often in different sizes. For example, a pair of socks can fit shoe sizes 9-11. Tights are often sold by height.
The ones that do are usually sized similarly to bras, indicating either a single cup, band, or range size. Since most of these garments are relatively loose-fitting or made from stretchy materials, they usually fit the listed bra sizes regardless of hip and waist size. Dance costumes, such as belly dance costumes, are often made to order because ill-fitting belts, bras and dresses are not an option for professional performers.
Bust 84 88 92 96 100 104 108 112 116
Hip circumference 92 96 100 104 108 112 116 120 124

Waist circumference 63-65 66-69 70-73 74-77 78-81 82-85 86-90
However, many dancers buy used costumes or shop online from stores that do not offer custom tailoring services because they are often cheaper than custom costumes. In this case, it is important to buy a suit that can be easily modified, because the bra sizes that these suits are usually based on are often relatively arbitrary, just like regular bras. Modification of dance costumes is often difficult due to the embroidery and beading patterns.
If you make your own costume, such as a girdle bra and girdle, you can modify a regular bra using the many instructions online on what to do. If you cover it with fabric and then bead it directly, you have to keep in mind that this bra will shrink. Many dancers recommend starting with a bra with cups one size larger than you usually wear, because if it's still too big, once you're done decorating it, you can use padding, but there's not much you can do if it gets too big. small.
Hip circumference 88-91 92-95 96-98 99-101 102-104 105-108 109-112
In conclusion, I would like to remind you that for correct definition size, measurements are required. It is not recommended to do this yourself, as the likelihood of inaccurate data increases, so it is better to ask someone to help you.
Remember! All measurements are taken in a standing position. The measuring tape should fit snugly against the skin, but not press.
More about men's clothing and shoe sizes
Do you have difficulty translating a unit of measurement into another language? Some clothes are exclusively for men or only for women, but some are unisex - they can be worn by both sexes. Fashion trends men's clothing over the years, tend to oscillate between decorative styles that resemble women's clothing and more masculine styles. The former have smooth soft lines, bright colors and cascading fabrics. The latter have sharper straight lines and angles to place more emphasis on the masculine features of the human figure, such as the shoulders or even the crotch area.
Chest volume (CG) - measurements are taken along the protruding points of the chest in front and along the lower protruding edge of the shoulder blades in the back.
Waist circumference (WA) - at the narrowest part of the body.
Hip volume (HV) - at the most protruding points from the side and back.
Instructions
For example, between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries it was fashionable to wear an armrest, a special pouch originally intended for protection but later to highlight the genital area. This was usually a special design element of the trousers. It was made from cloth, leather or even metal, especially when added to the armor of knights. It is still worn in some subcultures, such as by rock musicians or as part of leather fashion or fetish. Similar items exist in other cultures, such as kotekas or nambas, genital sheaths worn by men in ethnic communities in New Guinea and Vanuatu, respectively.
European size names are easy to determine if you know which size on the Russian scale corresponds to your figure. Subtract 6 from this value and you will get your European clothing size. That is, a miniature 40 corresponds to 34, for a 42 we get 36, for a 44 we get 38, and so on. Men are luckier - the size scale of European manufacturers corresponds to Russian numbering.
Dance belts, worn by ballet dancers under tights for support and protection during vigorous exercise, also highlight the genital area. However, unlike helmets, they must conceal the shape. Some items of clothing, such as skirts and dresses, are usually associated with women, but can be worn by men in some cultures. Clothes that end in a skirt, even if they more closely resemble a dress, are often referred to as men's skirts. Some examples of such clothing are Scottish kilts, Greek fustanellas, Middle Eastern kaftans and sarons in Southeast Asia.
However, keep in mind that each manufacturer has its own patterns, so clothes of the same markings from different stores may fit you differently. The best option is to try on the item and remember which designation on the label corresponds to your dimensions. However, when making purchases from a catalog or on the Internet, consumers are deprived of this opportunity. Therefore, it is better to arm yourself with a measuring tape and find out exactly your size.
To determine the size, three basic parameters are enough: chest, waist and hips. Measure the circumference of your chest at its most protruding points. Place the tape on your waist, find the narrowest point and measure, pressing the “centimeter” firmly, but not tightening. Measure the volume of your hips at the most protruding points of your buttocks. Measure your height while standing on a straight vertical surface, leaning against the back of your head, shoulder blades, buttocks and heels - from the crown to the sole. Check the table and find your size according to the Russian and European scale.
The universal size scale, named with letters, is easy to remember if you are at least a little familiar with English. XS – extra small (very small), S – small (small), M – medium (medium), L – large (large), XL – extra large (very large).
Since foreign clothes appeared in the country's stores, complete confusion has arisen in women's minds: how to understand which European dimensions correspond to domestic ones? The task is further complicated by the fact that the European countries themselves dimensions are different from each other: German, Italian, French - each manufacturing country has its own size chart.
Instructions
Of course, to determine the size, the easiest way is to go to the store and, while trying on, choose the one whose clothes will fit you best. Subsequently, all you have to do is remember the appropriate size and immediately look for it on the hangers. But what to do if you plan to make purchases through an online store or even order clothes from a foreign website? There is a way out - you need to contact size charts, by which you can determine your European size with fairly high accuracy. In addition, you will need a tape measure.
First, decide what European size you are and what type of clothing you need. For example, if you need to find out your German size to buy a T-shirt or blouse, measure your chest circumference in centimeters. 74-77cm corresponds to size 32, 78-81 – 34, 82-85 – 36, etc. If you are buying a skirt or trousers, you will have to measure the circumference of your waist, hips, and the length of your legs from the waist. For example, if your waist is 60-62cm, your hips are 84-87, and your leg length is about 106cm, then you can safely choose size 32 trousers. At the same time, keep in mind that it is better to measure your chest circumference in a comfortable bra. Remember that the waist for men is measured at the place where the waistband of the trousers usually passes.
If you are sure that you know exactly your domestic clothing size, you can simply compare it in the table with European ones. Suppose you are the owner of size 42. Then 34th German, 36th French, 38th Italian and 8th English are suitable for you dimensions. Accordingly, it is easy to calculate the rest dimensions. To calculate the German number, you need to subtract 6 from the Russian number, French - 4, Italian - 2, English - 32. This correspondence is quite accurate, but still, it is worth trying on if you have a slightly non-standard figure, for example, a very narrow waist and This means wide hips or large breasts but narrow hips.
Jeans have firmly entered into the everyday life of most of us and belong to the class of clothing about which we can say that it is “both for the feast and for the world.” Jeans are perfect for everyday wear, for work, and elegant, well-chosen jeans are not a shame to appear at a party. The key word here is “well-chosen, so that jeans fit the figure, emphasize its advantages and do not stick out flaws, you need to be able to choose the right size jeans ov.
Instructions
How jeans fit on your figure is determined by the type of jeans, but in any case they should fit your figure and even be slightly tight. Cotton will stretch slightly during wear, and this fact must be taken into account when purchasing. And if the fabric contains elastane, then jeans larger than required will wrinkle unsightly, so it is so important to know what size you need and what parameters you need to take into account when purchasing this irreplaceable part of your wardrobe.
Homeland jeans America is considered, so it is not surprising that their sizes are made up of inches. An inch is a linear measure of length equal to 2.5 cm. In most cases, on the label of jeans you will find two parameters - W (waist width) and L (pants length inside). To determine your size, you will need to take a tailor's centimeter and measure your waist and the length of your leg at the place where the intended inseam will go. It would seem that everything is as simple as shelling pears, but not always two pairs of jeans having the same WL sizes will fit each other in size. The reasons for this can be very different, in particular the quality denim. Famous companies that value their reputation use high-quality fabric for sewing, which has already undergone special treatment to promote shrinkage. You can safely take these jeans a size smaller, they will only fit your figure better. In general, there is an opinion that when trying on for the first time, jeans should come together when fastening with little effort.
Sometimes the size on jeans can look like 44/170. There is no need to be scared, these are not Gulliver's trousers, the size is simply given on a different scale, more understandable to the Russian consumer. 44 will mean the standard Russian clothing size, and 170 will mean the height of the future owner of the jeans. But it also happens that the first digit will be in inches. In order not to convert inches to centimeters every time and vice versa, you can simply remember one simple formula: your size minus 16 is equal to your jeans size in inches. That is, if you have a size 44, then in inch equivalent it will correspond to 28.
But no matter what units the size marking is made in, you cannot do without trying it on when purchasing. Even if the jeans are, in theory, exactly the size you need, they may be wide at the hips or narrow at the top, puffy in the back or bunched up in the front. Jeans size can only serve as a guide. But if you have already managed to choose the correct size of jeans from one particular brand, then the chances that other jeans from this manufacturer will also fit are not so small. You can buy such jeans, as they say, without looking. However, if there is a possibility of trying on, then you should not neglect it.

When heading to a clothing store, you can choose your jeans, as they say, “by eye.” But it would be better to take measurements first. The first option is to take measurements of yourself or yourself using a meter. And the second option is to take measurements from old ones that fit you well jeans.
Instructions
There are several quite simple and effective methods taking measurements. It is better to use them not separately, but to combine them. This way you will achieve the greatest accuracy of calculations. Taking off size s yourself, please use the following size designations and guidelines for how these dimensions take off: - Waist (abbr. W) – waist circumference. Waist circumference is measured because this is usually the narrowest area. You can find it by moving 25-30 cm up from the groin. Although the waist may be closer to the hips or chest; - Inseam (abbr. L) - the length of the trouser leg inside seam. Measured from the groin to the floor; - Seat (in many tables - Hips). This is the size of the hips. It is measured at the most protruding part of the buttocks, 20 cm below the waist (approximately). To increase the accuracy of your measurements, combine the first two methods. The third method can be used separately.
And now more about how to shoot dimensions With jeans without putting them on: Lay them out on a flat surface and take a ruler in your hands. Waist size is measured at the top jeans with a zipped fly. Multiply the resulting size by two. If it's been a while since your jeans were last washed, subtract one inch from the result. But it’s better to wash the jeans first, then dry them and then take measurements.
Next comes the measurement of the volume of the leg at the knee (Knee Measurement), after which the width of the trouser leg is measured at the very bottom (Leg Opening). Then you need to take measurements from the front rise of the zipper fly (Front Rise) and along the back seam (Back Rise).
Now all you have to do is measure the thigh at its fullest place (Thigh At Fullest Place) and the volume of the hips (Seat or Hips). It is better to measure the last size by putting the jeans on yourself.

Today it is almost impossible to find a person who does not have a pair in his wardrobe jeans. Everyone wears them. But not everyone knows that now you can easily and quickly buy branded jeans in online stores. The only condition that is necessary for a successful purchase is to know size jeans.
You will need
- A measuring tape, your favorite old jeans, as well as a piece of paper and a pen to record your results.
Instructions
Decide on how to measure your size. You can do this by taking your own measurements, you can measure your favorite, frequently worn jeans, or you can do it simpler: don’t measure anything and subtract the number 16 from your Russian size. This is exactly what consultants advise to do if you don’t have a measuring tape at hand and it’s impossible to measure your waist size at the moment, but you want to buy jeans right now. So, if you wear a size 44, then your jeans size will fit 28. Most likely, this will be the case.
To be sure to hit the mark with your jeans size, experts advise picking up those perfect jeans that you have been wearing for a long time and that fit exactly as if they were tailored exactly to your figure. They will help you a lot. Take these jeans, lay them on the floor to make it easy to measure them, fasten the button and measure your waist exactly along the line where the button lies. You will get a figure that needs to be multiplied by two and converted to inches (1 cm = 2.54 inches). This is the appropriate waist size. Usually this number is adjacent to the letter W, which means Waist, that is, waist.
Now you need to determine the length of your future ideal jeans. On the label of jeans we usually see the following combinations of numbers - for example, W27 L30. We have already determined that W27 means waist size in inches. So what is L30? And this is nothing more than the length of your future jeans. You can measure it correctly by taking those perfectly fitting jeans and measuring their length from the groin to the very bottom. The resulting number must be converted to inches.
But what to do if you don’t have those perfect jeans, but these are the ones you would like to buy? Then it is best to ask a professional seamstress to take your measurements. This will be the simplest and most convenient option. However, you can do this yourself by going to the mirror and carefully measuring your waist size and leg length, converting the resulting numbers into inches, and making a purchase.
Now you know how to determine the size of jeans correctly and avoid unsuccessful purchases
