Clothing sizes - some alphabetic or numerical code, corresponding to certain linear parameters of the human body or its parts, for which this particular piece of clothing is intended. To simplify the choice of clothes or footwear suitable for this or that person, manufacturers use size designation systems. In most cases, the size is applied to a tag attached to clothing, and in the case of shoes, it can be on the sole or insole.
In the world there are quite a lot of different systems of dimensioning. In Europe, an attempt was made to introduce a single standard - EN 13402, as a unit of measurement in which centimeters were used. In Russia, the designation of the sizes of some types of clothing (underwear, nightwear, top shirts for men and boys) is determined in accordance with GOST R 53230-2008.
A table of sizes, through which you can accurately determine your size and buy that thing that really suits you!

If you want clothes to sit on you freely, add 2 cm to each of the figures. The values that you have as a result, find in the table of sizes. Having checked your measurements with the table, you can easily determine your size.
When measuring the volume of the chest, place the centimeter so that it is on the most protruding points. Precisely such a principle must be adhered to when measuring the volume of the thighs. Measuring the waist, stand straight and do not strain. The centimeter should be located strictly parallel to the floor.
If the figures obtained, according to the table, refer to different sizes, choose the size that corresponds to the largest figure. Women's clothing that sits freely, in any case, is more suited than too tight-fitting.
If you have narrow shoulders, choose smaller women's clothes. More free models will suit the holders of broad shoulders. If you have wide hips and narrow shoulders, choose clothes in favor of wide hips: with clothes for a size larger, you will never lose.
