They used to order this from a dressmaker or sew it themselves. Even not very knowledgeable women knew that the main measurement for determining clothing size is half the chest circumference. If this girth was in the range of 102-106 cm, then this female 52 will be without options, the parameters have never changed. Everything is different now.
The Russian 52nd was and remained alive. But he, along with others, ceased to be a monopolist in the measurements and parameters of women's clothing. Many other sizing systems have appeared around not only women's clothing, but also shoes. Tables with measurements for men, for children, separately for jeans, bras, etc. And in addition, from different countries and continents - everything is different.
You need to understand this, because clothes with manufacturer tags from different countries are now sold anywhere. And if you can try on a dress in a boutique and not miss the size, then you can’t do this when buying online. Knowing the exact parameters of all measurement standards is the task of customers who do not want to waste time and nerves returning clothes, not to mention the useless waste of money on something that does not fit their figure.
According to Russian standards, women's sizes from 48 to 56 refer to “women of normal build.” European parameters, of course, are much stricter. Women's size 52 is abbreviated XL - these are clothing parameters for plus size people. The most popular women's sizes in Russia are 46, 48, 50 and 52.
The size chart according to GOST (state standard) determines the main parameters for determining any size of women's clothing. There are three of these parameters, here are the measurements for size 52:
The rules for taking measurements are very simple. measure at the level under the armholes of the sleeves, on the back - a little higher. Waist circumference is the narrowest point in the torso area. We measure the circumference of the hips at the level of the most protruding points of the buttocks.
It must be new and in no case stretched so that the results are not distorted. To take measurements, you must remove your clothes and remain in your underwear only. You need to stand freely to maintain your usual posture.
Important! If, when taking measurements, an intermediate value is obtained, for example 82 cm, then the size will not be 50, in which the waist parameters are 78-82 cm, but 52 with the waist parameters 82-86 cm. Sizes 50 and 52 women's measurement parameters have very close ones are among the most common in Russia. However, with intermediate figures, the size is determined upward, that is, in favor of size 52.
Buying clothes one size too small is a fairly common mistake. A woman wearing smaller clothes looks plumper.
That's right, forty-four. But only German. Women with size 52 like to buy German clothes with their system: the sizes are simply wonderful.
They remind you of a slender figure in your youth. And all because in German tables the usual women's size 52 looks so “elegant”, the parameters of which are similar to Russian standards. Then there is hesitation and complete confusion: in France we will need size 46, in Italy - size 48, in the UK - an incomprehensible size 16. In the USA, in general, it’s some kind of 12th... If you add international XL to all this, you’ll get a complete mess with women’s size 52.
Unfortunately, there is no uniform classification of clothing by size in the world; manufacturing countries have not agreed. Therefore, there is only one way out: know your measurements well (check them periodically) and when shopping, have a table of measurements and sizes with you from different countries:
Chest circumference, cm | 94-98 | 98-102 | 102-106 |
Waist circumference, cm | 74-78 | 78-82 | 82-86 |
Hip circumference, cm | 100-104 | 104-108 | 108-112 |
Russian size | 48 | 50 | 52 |
Europe/Germany | 40 | 42 | 44 |
France | 42 | 44 | 46 |
Italy | 44 | 46 | 48 |
USA | 8 | 10 | 12 |
Great Britain | 12 | 14 | 16 |
International Int. | L | L/XL | XL |
International BM | T3 | T3 | T3 |
Recently, it has become popular to buy clothes on Chinese websites from Chinese manufacturers. So, Russian women's size 52, the parameters of which coincide with the Chinese ones, looks like XXL, and size 50 looks like XL.
You won't find size 52 jeans for you. The thing is that jeans are a purely American product, and their measurements are based on inches. Jeans sizes look like this: W36L30. W is the waist circumference, L is the length of the product along the inner seam (pants leg length).
The simplest method for determining your jeans is to subtract size 16 from your Russian size. If you have size 52 in women's clothing, the parameters are Russian, then you need to buy jeans in size 36 (52 - 16 = 36).
An interesting feature: now almost all women's jeans are made from fabrics with the addition of lycra, they have excellent stretch. Therefore, when taking measurements for a denim size, the numbers need to be rounded down (when taking measurements for, for example, outerwear, rounding goes up).
Here the rules are also simple, they relate to three main measures. If the breasts are large and their girth is larger than normal, you need to focus specifically on the size of the chest circumference. The same goes for wide hips. A prominent waist is very rare in women, unlike men with their beer bellies.
Now it's time to remember growth. If it is less than 165 cm, then the European version of 52 will look completely unusual: size 22. If the height is above 171 cm, then it will be European size 88, it will correspond to Russian women's size 52, height parameters will be taken into account additionally.

Light, elegant blouses come in different cuts - loose, fitted, with sleeves, sleeveless. To correctly record your measurements, you need to know your height, chest girth, waist and hip girth - these are the main numbers. If the item has sleeves, then you will need the length, circumference of the forearm and wrist. But this is required if you order custom tailoring from a studio. Size grids are based on basic indicators.
Measure your body. Chest circumference. The tape should go under the arms and along the most prominent line of the chest.
To calculate your waist size, wrap the tape strictly around the thinnest part. This value is useful for fitted blouses. If you intend to purchase a loose-fitting item, you can ignore this indicator.
Hips - we find the most protruding points on the buttocks and measure along this line. To be sure of the results, repeat the measurements.
Compare your data with the table figures. For example, if according to Russian indicators you match the minimum 40–42, then your international norm will correspond to XS. And the maximum is 54–56, the same as XXL. You can easily identify German, English, French.

Women's jeans have been in fashion for a long time and will never go out of fashion. Modern models are varied in both cut and color. They can be loose, tapered or flared.

To correctly calculate your jeans size, measure your waist, hips and height from waist to toe. The measuring tape must be applied closely to parts of the body. Your data does not always meet the same standard. For example, if your waist is 44 and your hips are 48. In this case, consider larger parameters. And buy some 48 jeans. But, use this trick only if you are purchasing trousers that are not made of stretchy fabric.
Most models of modern jeans are made with the addition of lycra or elastane. This makes the item stretchy and slimming. Due to this stretching property, it is customary to round the measurement numbers to a smaller size. Otherwise, after several wears, the item will “hang” on you.
Compare the obtained parameters with the table and find matches. The tables for regular trousers and jeans differ little. Jeans size is usually denoted by the letter W. This figure ranges from 22 to 38. Accordingly, international from XXL to XXXL. Waist and hip circumferences are clearly indicated.
If your numbers do not match or are between those presented, then lean towards the larger size. The length of the jeans is determined by the inside seam, that is, measure the leg from the inside.

So don't buy it in a larger size than you need.
The table contains Russian indicators from 38 to 60. The numbers of the waist, chest and hips are indicated - for more accurate recognition of body parameters. Accordingly, English sizes from 4 to 26. American from 0 to 22. European from 32 to 54. International from XXS to XXXL.

Manufacturers usually indicate height on product labels. Russia puts growth figures from 158 to 164 and from 170 to 176.
If you decide to get a two-piece swimsuit, you will need to set the sizes separately for panties and bra. For panties - waist and hip measurements. For a bra - the volume of the bust and under it. And also look at the size table and compare the data. For example, if your waist is 84 cm and your hips are 104 cm, then look for the number 52 on the swim trunks label.
Determine your bra using the size chart for bras and brassieres. If your chest is in the range of 86 cm and your underbust is 68 cm, then you need to buy a bra with a C cup.
If your numbers do not match the table ones, choose the larger option. So that the swimsuit does not turn out to be small. Again, pay attention to the composition of the fabric.

A woman's wardrobe is sure to have several jackets. Any colors and models, for different seasons. You can’t go out in the fall or spring without quality outerwear. The creators come up with fashionable collections with decorations and simple jackets for every day. Lightweight and insulated.

Finding your exact jacket size is a difficult task. The main thing is to realize what you want to see in yourself. Loose fit or fitted style. Long or short jacket.
In order not to make a mistake or get upset, measure the dimensions of your body correctly. First, recognize the Russian size. Use it as a guide if you buy a jacket from foreign brands.
You need to measure the circumference of your hips, waist and chest. The main precise parameter here is breast volume. Place the gauge under her shoulder blades, draw her armpits along the lines of her bust. Divide the resulting figure in half. This number is considered the most important when choosing a jacket.
For example, with a volume of 90 cm, you should choose marking 46. If the result does not coincide with any indicator in the table, then choose a larger indicator.
According to the table, data from different countries differs. So, if in Russia your result is 46th, then the international one will be L. And the European one will be 40. In general, the European figure is easy to calculate - subtract 6 from the domestic one. This will be the European size.
England and America express parameters not in centimeters, as we are used to, but in inches. They differ from Russians by 38. For example, our number is 40, and for the USA it is 2. Everything is simpler than it seems.
Please note that jackets of the same size from different manufacturers may differ noticeably.

Therefore, it is worth taking a responsible approach to determining the size. You will need to take three measurements. Chest, waist and hip circumferences. When measuring the chest, wrap the tape around, drawing a line under the arms and along the protruding points on the chest. Choose the narrowest point at the waist. And the hips - at the most protruding points.
Measure yourself in clothes. In a standing, natural position. Do not stretch the tape too much and apply it tightly to the body. Write down the results and see the diagram. It defines the most common parameters of a women's coat. From 38 to 60 in Russia. Foreign standards differ from ours. Therefore, be careful when comparing. For example, if your domestic indicator is 50, then the Japanese one will be 15.

Socks for the fairer sex are also not in last place. They provide comfort and warm your feet during the cold season. Store shelves are full of a variety of colors and types of socks. Nylon, cotton, wool - for all occasions. You just need to figure out the appropriate size. The tags on the socks have strange markings on them. How to understand it? Not all ladies know how to decipher this value.
The easiest way is to determine and remember your norm. Then you definitely won’t get confused in the store. The most popular measurements for women's feet are from 23 to 29. Large socks will wrinkle, fly off the feet, and rub calluses. Small ones put pressure and wear through holes faster.
When buying socks, you can run into trouble. If you know your size for sure, but the product does not fit. The fact is that unscrupulous manufacturers ignore generally accepted standards. Our responsible and foreign manufacturers of socks always provide the correct markings.
To calculate your sock size, you only need one size. Length of both feet. Measure them carefully. It is important to take measurements from both the left and right heels. Place the measuring device (tape or ruler) on a flat floor. Free your feet from shoes and socks. Stand on the ruler so that your heel is on the first centimeter. Take a pencil and draw parallel to your leg. Mark the value near the heel and near the longest toe. The distance between them will be a long leg.
Repeat the same steps with the other foot. Sometimes the numbers don't match. To calculate, choose the larger number. Look carefully at the sock matching label. It shows clear foot and shoe sizes. According to the standards of Russia, Europe, America. As well as international indicators. They are designated by letters from S to XL.
For example, if your foot length is 23 cm, then suitable shoes will be 37. And socks should be chosen 23. By international standards - S. And according to the American registry - 8.

A self-respecting lady has several jumpers in her collection. And at least a couple of jackets and vests. These wardrobe elements are relevant at all times. Sellers present a variety of jumper models. Short, long, one-piece, with buttons, long or short sleeves.
Jackets have a narrower focus. That's why they can be short or long. It has become fashionable to purchase jackets in bright colors.
If the styles of jumpers and vests allow you to deviate slightly from the ideal size, then the jacket should fit perfectly. This requires accurate calculations of measurements.
The waist, hips and bust volumes are measured. We measure the chest along the line under the armpits and protruding points. The waist is in the thinnest place. And the hips, on the contrary, are at the protruding points. Compare with the size chart for jacket, jumper and vest. If your chest is 90 cm and your waist is 73 cm, then your size according to domestic standards will be 46. According to international standards, L. According to European standards, 40. Everything is clearly laid out in the table - it’s easy to understand.
Before buying a jacket, decide on its model. For example, on a figure with a large bust, fitted models look better. And, conversely, with a small chest, a loose jacket is suitable.

T-shirts are popular among women of all ages. They are considered a universal clothing model. They are used for sports and everyday wear. Even in the office, under a jacket or jacket - very beautiful and fashionable. Can be combined with many wardrobe items. Can be worn with jeans or a skirt.
When purchasing, you should pay attention to the composition of the fabric. If there is elastane, the item will not be deformed. Cotton products are the opposite. Sellers offer fitted or loose T-shirts. Short or long models.
It is not always possible to try on a product when purchasing. Especially in virtual stores. Therefore, you should know what parameters to use to buy a T-shirt.
In the sizing chart, the main number is height. But you definitely need to measure your waist and hips. To find out your measurements more accurately, you need to strip naked. Or stay in your underwear. Using a tape, measure the circumference of your chest, passing the tape under your arms and across your chest. Divide the resulting value by two. This number is your measurement by Russian standards. It is indicated on product labels. Some manufacturers stamp the growth.
In the table you can see the correspondence of markings to European and international standards. Let's say your height is 164 cm, then buy a domestic T-shirt 44-46. The corresponding international value is XS.

The weaker sex has been wearing skirts since ancient times. And to this day they remain relevant. They add femininity, elegance and uniqueness. A huge variety of skirt styles have been invented by fashion designers. Mini, maxi, fitted, loose - there is a wide choice. Classic and strict emphasizes the female silhouette.
You must select it strictly according to size, otherwise it will ruin your appearance and lack comfort. Narrow - it will twist and rise. Wide - it will slide.
Measure your body according to the rules. Then you won’t be mistaken in your measurements. You need to undress or stay in your underwear. A skirt requires two measurements: hips and waist - their coverage. The waist line is at the narrowest point of the body. And the hip line is the most protruding part. Fix the values and see the results in the presented diagram.
If the waist corresponds to the figure - 60, and the hips - 85, then your size is 40. Based on the Russian norm, calculate the size of skirts from foreign manufacturers.
Every woman strives to have a chic, varied wardrobe. From a young age, teenage girls want to look their best! Dresses, blouses, blouses, skirts, trousers... you can endlessly list the items of women's wardrobe.
Often girls buy clothes without trying them on. They don’t think about the importance of size. As a result, it turns out that the purchased item is large or small. And it doesn’t “fit” the figure. The mood is spoiled. These problems can be avoided if you familiarize yourself with the size tables (diagrams).
Such plates were created by professionals for the convenience of calculating clothing parameters. From underwear to outer jackets and coats. There are a huge number of shops, boutiques, and markets selling items of various brands.
In a real boutique you can try on new clothes, or choose based on intuition. In a virtual online store, this cannot be done. Therefore, each site has special diagrams with sizes. Knowing his parameters, the buyer will not make a mistake with his choice.
It is important to know- sizes of underwear and clothing are formed from your own measurements. Don't look at your friends if it looks like you. And the dress fits her perfectly. It may not suit you. Every centimeter of the body matters.
That's why there are sizing charts. Don't be lazy to take measurements. You will avoid problems with purchases in the future. Ask your loved ones to help you with the measurement.
The data from such tables is also important for clothing production. Especially for dressmakers who create custom-made clothes.
Every lady should be able to correctly measure and compare the numbers with the data in the table. She is a kind of “guide” in the world of replenishing your wardrobe. All tables are compiled for the convenience of users. They combine data on the performance of different countries.
Attention! Learn not to confuse Russian and international norms. They are different in Asia, America or Europe. Foreign parameters are indicated by numbers or letters. (XS - small; S - small; M - medium; L - large; XL - very large; XXL - the largest.)
For a certain type of thing, there is a registry. Of course, knowing your leg measurements won't help you buy a dress. It is necessary to measure and know each body part correctly.
In order to take measurements, you will need a measuring tape, paper for writing down numbers, a pen or pencil. You can measure yourself if there is no one nearby. Record your data and compare it with table values.
Beautiful and fashionable clothes are 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 of women's clothing was indicated by two numbers corresponding to the half-circumference of the chest. Patterns have always been made taking into account the characteristics of a 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.
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 are much more often asked questions today 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:
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.
Size Russia | International standard | Chest circumference, cm | Waist circumference, cm | Hip circumference, cm | Sleeve length, cm | Size, China |
38 | XXS | 76 | 58 | 82 | 58/60 | S |
40 | XS | 80 | 62 | 86 | 59/61 | M |
42 | S | 84 | 66 | 92 | 59/61 | M |
44 | S/M | 88 | 70 | 96 | 60/62 | L |
46 | M | 92 | 74 | 100 | 60/62 | L |
48 | M/L | 96 | 78 | 104 | 60/62 | XL |
50 | L | 100 | 82 | 108 | 61/63 | XXL |
52 | XL | 104 | 86 | 112 | 61/63 | XXL |
54 | XXL | 108 | 90 | 116 | 61/63 | XXXL |
To find out your clothing size, use a sewing measuring tape. Chest circumference is measured by the protruding points of the 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 of women's trousers, skirts, shorts, the half-circumference of the hips is taken into account, for underwear - the hips and waist, for swimsuits and bras - the half-circumference of the chest and under the bust, 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.
In order to correctly and accurately measure your parameters, you need to know where to measure them.
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.
Since every seller is interested in good sales of their products, the most far-sighted owners of online stores necessarily provide their websites with size charts for women’s clothing, and offline stores place the same tables in fitting rooms. Size correspondence tables are necessary to choose the piece of women's clothing you like, if at first glance it is difficult to determine whether it will fit.
Such tables contain information on the correspondence of Russian clothing sizes to foreign ones. The most commonly used data is:

When it comes to choosing sportswear, both size and height are important, but the main role is played by its functionality: for example, it is unlikely to be suitable for yoga!
Please check before ordering a dress, blazer, suit or skirt women's clothing sizes, which are offered by “Sewing Tradition”. This will allow you to avoid mistakes when ordering, and, accordingly, choose the item that suits you, which will become a pleasant new thing.
If you have already ordered from online stores, please note that women's clothing sizes can be international, European, American and CIS countries. The latter are focused on chest circumference divided by 2. These are the dimensions used by Sewing Tradition.
For example, if your chest circumference is 88 cm, then your size is 44, if 100 cm, then 50. This is not difficult to remember, but we have women's clothing sizes table, which helps you navigate more accurately.
The size chart for women's clothing will help you decide:
Sometimes we encounter a problem when our customers claim that women's clothing sizes table calculated incorrectly. We know that the problem here is different. You just need to measure your size correctly using a tape meter. Full coverage should be measured at the level of the middle of the shoulder blades and the middle of the protruding part of the chest. At the same time, do not overtighten the meter, because the clothes should fit your figure well, and not hug every fold.
note that Women's clothing size chart determines sizes based on breast volume in a given range of values. This is due to the fact that you can only sew a dress or blouse for every centimeter from a private seamstress, while factories sew a universal (standard) size. If you want clothes to fit your figure, you can order a smaller size that is close to your measurements. And vice versa - if you need a dress or coat that is loose, then you should choose an item one size larger.
When buying a dress or suit, take into account the measurements of not only the chest, but also the hips. Order an item whose size corresponds to large measurements. After all, sewing clothes is much easier than arranging them.
If you know your European size, then you can also use it to guide your choice. Just add to the European size 6. And you will get your CIS size. For example, if you order size 40 according to European catalogs, then your CIS size is 46.
Sometimes deciding on clothing size is very difficult. The fact is that there are many different factors that influence the correct determination of size.
This includes its type, the specific size chart of the country of origin, gender, age, and even the characteristics of a particular brand. If a person decides to order any type of clothing in an online store (for example -), then he should be especially careful about choosing the right size and find an exact match in the Russian system. This is not so easy to do, but we will help you do it!
Look! This is useful to know: and their Russian equivalents
In addition to gender, the type of clothing also matters. Don't blindly choose an XL size for pants just because shirts in that size fit your body type. Each type of clothing has its own specific measurement criteria.
Depending on the country where a particular product is produced, its size may differ from the usual size for a resident of another country.
Thus, when determining the size, it is necessary to take into account the following criteria and features:
Some countries have their own special sizing system. First of all, this diversity is due to which measurement system (metric or English) is used in this country. Depending on the measurement system adopted in the country, clothing sizes vary greatly.
Also, there are unwritten sizing rules for different countries, for example:
The most common dimensional systems that you can often encounter are primarily American, Russian, Japanese, English, Italian, European and Unified International types. For example, clothing measurements for women in Russia start from size 38, in Japan - from 3, in the USA - from 0, in England - from 4, in Europe - from 32, the smallest international size is XXS.
It is very difficult to understand the numerous sizing systems. It will also be difficult to remember how each one fits into its own measurement system. Therefore, in order to facilitate this task, it is convenient to use special correspondence tables.

You can often find marks 0 – 3. This product is intended for both a newborn and a 3-month-old baby. However, it should be noted that in terms of height and weight, a newborn and a 3-month-old baby are quite different from each other.

Despite the fact that recently the trend towards standardization of sizes has been clearly visible throughout the world, there is still such a thing as clothing brands’ own size charts. What does it mean? This means that many brands develop their own sizes for their clothing, which can be a little confusing when choosing a product. In order to find the correct fit, companies usually post detailed size charts on their websites. And this, in general, is the solution - to try on clothes on their websites. Difficulties can only arise when shopping in online hypermarkets, where there may be no indications about the specific size of each product, but only standard international and regional grids are presented.
