Not so long ago, lovely ladies living in the expanses of the post-Soviet space, did not even think about what size clothes can be. After all, everyone knew the familiar numbers on labels from 40 to 54 - and no difficulties, as a rule, did not arise. Nowadays things are a bit different, as shopping in online stores and abroad becomes the favorite occupation of modern women, and the accepted labeling of clothing sizes in Europe and America differs from the domestic one.
What to do in this case, if you really want to buy a blouse or jeans with a famous European label, and decide on the size does not work? Our article about the conformity of the sizes of women's clothing, will help you understand.
How to determine the female size of clothes?
Going for shopping, every woman should know how to determine the appropriate size of women's clothing according to the parameters of the figure depending on the country of the manufacturer.
Let's start with Europe. In Italy, France and Germany, which use a single system of designations, the already familiar Latin letters XS, S, L, M, XL, XXL are printed on the clothing tags. Where S, M, L mean small, medium and large respectively, and X is used to label derived sizes, in other words very small or very large. With the designation of the size of the top women's clothing, the prefix X is not used by European manufacturers.
Next, let's talk about American marking. Here there are both Latin S and M, as well as digital signage, which provide for the division into male and female clothing. It is very simple to compare Russian sizes with American ones, using simple arithmetic operations. As a rule, in order to know the size of women's clothing, you need to subtract 36 from the number indicated on the label. That is, if a girl wears clothes of 42 sizes by national standards, in the United States, she will need a blouse or a T-shirt with a figure of 6.
To have a clearer idea of how to choose the right size for women's clothing of a particular manufacturer, you can use special tables, which show the used markings and the corresponding linear parameters.
