How to determine your clothing size?
Do you want your orders from foreign Web sites make you feel uncomfortable? Do you want your dress to hang like a bag and jeans not to go on above the knees?
Then:
- use common size charts of American and European sizes
- choose a size at random without knowing your parameters
- choose the same size on all Web sites without comparing it with the manufacturer’s size chart.
But for those who are still interested in buying in America clothes that will fit perfectly we recommend:
- Take measurements to know exactly all your parameters - chest, waist, and hips.
- Select goods in a store; find the “Size chart” or “Size guide” button, i.e. a table of correspondence of your parameters to the sizes in a specific online store in the USA. But remember that each category of goods (shirts, t-shirts, jeans, trousers, suits, dresses, skirts, outerwear, swimwear, and underwear) can have its own “Size chart”.
- Convert your parameters from centimeters to inches if the table parameters are indicated in inches. You can do it using a special online program or calculator: 1 inch (in) = 2.54 cm.
- Is there a store offering clothes of your favorite brand in your city? It would be helpful to try several models to determine your size.
One of your FAQ is “Does the dress/jeans/cardigan, etc. run loose or tight?” Feel free to ask the question! We have detailed information about products from most USA stores and we are always ready to share with you such important details of clothes selection.
