We take measurements correctly

Online shopping lovers will need a tape measure. Do I need to pick it up every time before placing an order in our online store in order to correctly determine the size of the clothes? If no changes are noticed on the scales and your favorite things still fit your figure perfectly, then no. After losing weight or the appearance of extra pounds, it is worth taking measurements again, they will be correct. Accordingly, it will be possible to choose a product in size and in complexion.

When working with a measuring tape, you need to be careful. It should fit snugly to the body, not sag or cut into the skin. When determining the size, they are guided by the girth of the chest, hips, waist. These are the key parameters that will be needed in order to choose clothes in an online store by size. It is advisable that another person take measurements. In this case, the parameters will be more accurate.

So, in order to choose the right size for clothes you need:

1. Measure the bust at the most prominent point so that the tape touches the armpits (at the widest part of the chest).
2. Determine the waistline and freely cover it with a measuring tape (do not strain and pull in your stomach).
3. Take measurements from the hips and buttocks in the most prominent area.
4. To determine the last parameters, you need to go down 15-20 cm from the waist line. Based on this data, it will be possible to choose the right size for a dress, skirt, sweater and other clothing models.

Measurements for the purchase of trousers and skirts

Allocate the side and inner length of the pants. To determine the first, you need to measure the distance from the thigh bone to the ankle. The correct dimensions along the inner seam are from crotch to bottom. When determining the size of trousers, the girth of the hips is taken into account.

Skirts are classified into mini, midi and maxi. Determine the circumference of the waist and hips, as well as the length. Different formulas are used to determine the last parameter. To understand if a skirt fits in length, take into account height. Its value is multiplied by 0.35 (up to knees), 0.5 (midi) or 0.62 (maxi). Women who wear heels also need to add 3-4 cm to the result.

Determining the size of the top

To buy a sweater, jumper, jacket, T-shirt and other clothing models, they look at the girth of the waist and chest. These are the main parameters, but not always, when they are correctly defined, the thing fits perfectly on the body. The sleeves of the garment may be short and the length may be inappropriate. To avoid an unpleasant situation, ask for additional measurements. The length of the sleeve is determined as follows: measure the distance from the center of the neck to the wrist, slightly bending the elbow. As a rule, the sizes of clothes of famous brands correspond to the European grid.
