Dimensional grid boys clothes. Baby clothes. Girls clothing sizes

It is not always possible to buy clothes for a child with a fitting. In order not to be mistaken with the choice of the right size for the baby, for example, as a gift or just in an online store, a table of children's sizes will come to the rescue. This is summary information in which the sizes of children's clothing are divided by age or main biometric indicators (height, weight, etc.)

Dimensional grid for small children from birth.

Babies up to a year old grow very quickly. During the first 12 months of life, the child grows by 5-6 sizes. To choose the right clothes during this period, you need to focus on the growth of the baby: at this age, there is a correspondence between the size of things and the length of the baby's body in centimeters. European manufacturers often indicate the age that a particular model corresponds to. This is an average. Here it is important to take into account that children's clothes from Europe are sewn according to a more spacious pattern than Russian ones, and factory-made items from the USA generally have their own markings.

Important!!! To a question tohow to determine the size of a child's clothesup to a year, it is impossible to answer unambiguously. When choosing clothes, it is important to take into account the individual characteristics of each baby. Some children grow faster, kids with long legs will have to buy different sizes of blouses and pants, and overalls are better to take with a margin

.

In order for the clothes to sit as comfortably as possible, it is better to focus not only on the height of the child, but also take into account its weight.

Size (Russia)	Age	Height (cm)	Weight, kg)
18	Newborn	50	up to 3.2
18	1st month	56	3,2 — 4
20	1-3 month	56-62	4 – 6
22	3-6 months	62-68	6 – 8
24	6-9 months	68-74	8 – 9,5
24	9-12 months	74-80	9,5 — 11

To choose the right headdress for a child, you need to know 2 parameters: the girth and the depth of the head. The shape of the head of all children is different, so you should not focus on age. Both of these parameters are important. It happens that the girth of the hat may fit, and the child's ears or neck at the back will not be closed. In this case, you will have to purchase a hat that is a size larger than the girth dictates. It may turn out that the bonnet is heavily stretched and presses on the baby, then the next size is also acquired, and so that the headgear does not move out over the eyes, it can be hemmed or pinned with a safe decorative pin. By age, the size grid of hats for children can be conditionally broken down as follows:

Clothing sizes for children from 1 year to 6 years.

After 1 year, children begin to grow more slowly and from this age, body structure features begin to gradually appear: broad shoulders, long legs, thinness or fullness. When choosing clothes for a child, it is now better to focus not only on height and weight, but also on chest circumference, waist circumference and leg length. Knowing these parameters, you can choose the most suitable clothes, which will not need to be folded, sewn in or resorted to using belts and suspenders.

Children's clothing size chart by bust, height, waist and hips:

Child size	Height (cm)	Bust (cm)	Waist (cm)	Hips (cm)
1 - 1.5 years	80 – 86	49 – 51	50 – 51	52 – 54
1.5 - 2 years	86 – 92	51- 53	51 — 52	54 – 56
2 – 3 years	92 – 98	53 – 55	52 – 53	56 – 58
34 years	98 – 104	55 – 57	53 – 54	58 — 60
45 years	104 – 110	57 – 59	54 – 55	60 – 62
5 – 6 years	110 — 116	60 — 61	56 — 57	62 — 64

When choosing clothes for a child, the question often arises: how to determine the size of children's clothing by the standards? To answer it, you need to figure out how to take measurements correctly and for what type of clothing, what indicators are important.

• Chest girth. Measured at the most protruding part of the chest. The centimeter tape is passed along the shoulder blades through the armpits and is loosely reduced on the chest. This indicator is important when choosing clothes with a clear, strict silhouette (vest, jacket, sundress) and from hard fabrics (denim, velveteen, leather).
• Waist. Measured at the natural waist line, which runs just above the navel. This parameter will help when choosing any type of pants (trousers, jeans) and dresses with a fitted or straight silhouette.
• Hip girth. A centimeter is circled around the buttocks at a prominent point. Any pants, shorts, straight skirts will fit better and the child will be more comfortable if you find out this value and take it into account when buying.
• Outside seam length. Measured from waist to floor along the outside of the leg. An important indicator when choosing pants and dresses with a long hem.

Important!!! These indicators are especially important when the child has a non-standard figure: fullness is characteristic or the dimensions of the upper part of the clothes do not match the bottom (typical for children with long legs). Then the size for height and age is simply impossible to choose correctly.

Styles in children's clothing are now changing and mixing at an astonishing pace. Even knowing the length of the child's leg along the outer seam, you can miss the choice of pants. This is due to the fact that a different cut implies a different height of the fit of the product. There is another indicator that will help to avoid errors:

• Inseam or "crotch" length. This parameter in a child is measured with a centimeter tape from the groin along the inside of the leg to the floor. When choosing any clothing with trousers (especially overalls), you should pay attention to this value.

And to choose outerwear that I would like to purchase for more than one season, it would be useful to know one more characteristic:

Teenage clothing sizes.

As boys and girls age, differences in body structure become noticeable. This is important to consider, so teenage children's clothing sizes differ in tables. In girls, the figure changes more rapidly and acquires completely new features in a few years. For schoolgirls, when determining the size of clothes, you need to take into account not only the age and parameters, but also the cut of the clothes that you choose.

Age	Height (cm)	Bust (cm)	Waist (cm)	Hips (cm)	Slim Waist (cm)	Hips slim fit (cm)	Waist free silhouette (cm)	Hip circumference free silhouette (cm)
7	122	63	58	68	53	63	63	73
8	128	66	59	71	54	66	64	76
9	134	69	61	74	56	69	66	79
10	140	72	62	78	57	73	67	83
11	146	75	63	81	58	76	68	86
12	152	79	64	84	59	79	69	89
13	158	83	65	88	60	83	70	93
14	164	87	67	92	62	87	72	96
15	166	89	69	94	64	89	74	99
16	168	91	71	96	66	91	76	101

For the right choice for girls underwear or swimwear, in addition to the girth of the hips and girth of the chest, you also need to know:

Girth under the bust. A centimeter is passed around the chest, directly under the chest. The tape should be held tightly, but without obstructing breathing.

The sizes of children's clothes for growing boys will help you to accurately choose any clothes: from comfortable everyday clothes for home and school to fashionable and stylish for holidays and important occasions.

Marking of manufacturers from different countries according to age.

AT different countries their own view on the modeling and design of clothing. Russian sizes of children's clothing strictly comply with GOST. From a certain age, US manufacturers divide children's clothing sizes by gender, the table of which helps to quickly navigate the labeling of models. Things from China usually run small. European models are distinguished by a free cut, and their sizes are guided by the age of newborns by months.

Correspondence table for markings of different countries:

With the same height or age, children can differ significantly in other parameters. Summary tables of sizes will definitely help you choose the optimal size of clothing for your child.

What a variety of children's shops are now: both at every step on the street and in the Internet space! The eye rejoices and is lost in this abundance. Many parents at least once, but bought children's clothes out of size. It’s good if the thing turned out to be too big, but what if it’s small? To prevent such disappointment from ever befalling you, you should be well versed in two things. The first is the parameters of the child's body that you correctly measured. And the second - the correct definition of the current size of clothes, and depending on the manufacturer. So, let's start our "tour" with the initial preparation - measurements of the child's parameters.

Fit or not fit? This question worries all mothers when buying clothes for children.

Calculator

1. The main indicator for most manufacturers is growth. To accurately measure it, place your barefoot child near a flat vertical surface, such as a wall. Make a mark at the top of your head, and then measure the line on the wall with a centimeter or ruler. As children age, their individual body structure changes. Some are fuller, some are thinner. Some have longer legs, some shorter. One baby has a wide chest, and the other is vice versa, so it is important to determine at least 5 more parameters, in addition to height (in general, there are more than 10 of them).
2. To measure the circumference of the chest, pass a centimeter under the arms through the chest and shoulder blades (recommended reading:).
3. When measuring the waist, it should not be pulled tight, the tape should remain loose.
4. When measuring a child's thighs, the tape should pass through the buttocks.
5. To measure the length of the sleeve, first bend the child's arm slightly and only then take the measurement: from the shoulder joint to the wrist.
6. To measure the length of your pants, run the tape from waistband to ankle along the side seam of the leg.

For children under 3 (maximum 5) years old, the main parameters will be age and height. But than older child, the more important for determining the children's clothing size are the remaining metric indicators: chest, hips, waist, etc.

Most likely, over time, you will find your favorite manufacturers, whose clothes not only look great on their own, but also fit perfectly on your child. What manufacturers can be found on Russian market? How to determine the size of children's clothing? Let's sort it out one by one, including with the help of our tables with the sizes of children's clothing. Let's start with our domestic production, and then we will talk about foreign manufacturers from Europe, the USA and China.

For kids younger age it is important to know only height and age, other measurements are needed already at an older age

Sizes of children's clothing from Europe and the USA

Buying foreign things is associated with additional risks - you need not make a mistake with unfamiliar sizes. How to figure it out? As always, a table of sizes for children's clothing will help us, but now with a foreign gradation. Please note that some manufacturers sew things in such a way that folded pants and sleeves look great. In this case, you can choose things for growth. Very cool, right? Children grow up so fast!

If the pants are a little big, then you can bend them

With age, the physique differs more and more among boys and girls, and foreign manufacturers take this into account. After 3-5 years, it is worth using tables by gender type.

After six years, different size charts are used for boys and girls.

Sizes of children's clothing from China

Understanding the peculiarities of Chinese things will not be superfluous at all - after all, we have a lot of it in Russia! The main difference is that our manufacturers are guided mainly by height, while Chinese manufacturers are guided by age.

On things from China for children who have come out of infancy, there is a marking with the letter "T". For example, 9 T or 10 T. "T" means the number of years, i.e. 9 T - things for a 9-year-old, 10 T - for a 10-year-old, etc. It is also important that the domestic size range is wider than the Chinese one. For example, for babies up to a year in China there are 4 sizes, and we have as many as 6.

Chinese sizes are significantly different from Russian ones, so you need to carefully choose things

Children under 2 years of age:

Finally, briefly about the important things in our journey

The choice of clothes for the child - not an easy task, which can be dealt with using size tables

1. Children with the same height can vary greatly in other parameters. Use the size charts for children's clothing - then you can't go wrong.
2. Foreign manufacturers often take into account not only the volume, but also the gender of the child. For example, for 5-year-olds there will be separate gradations for girls and boys.
3. Some manufacturers have features in the length of the product, waist or chest circumference, then they indicate their own size grids.
4. In Europe and Russia, manufacturers are primarily focused on growth. At the same time, things from Europe are designed for fuller children, and Russian ones for thinner ones.
5. If you buy a French product, take more of it, because. their things are mostly small.
6. With German and Italian things, just the opposite: after the purchase, they remain for some time to grow.
7. In China, things are a little more complicated. They can both oversize and undersize. You should trust only children's clothing sizes from China Factory.
8. If the baby is under 3 years old, dressing him is sometimes not so easy, so look for comfortable and simple fasteners. It makes sense to pay special attention to the material: natural is more preferable for the delicate skin of the baby. After 5 years, you can safely buy little things with intricate fasteners.
9. It is worth washing new things, even if they were sealed. However, keep in mind that natural fabrics in hot water strongly sit down.

About thirty years ago, such a thing as "children's fashion" simply did not exist: all clothes for preschoolers and teenagers were of high quality, solid, but, alas, monotonous. Lucky were those children whose mothers and grandmothers had imagination and knew how to sew, knit and embroider: the clothes of such lucky ones were always decorated with either applique or a bow.

For every taste!

Now the choice is amazing. Moreover, it is fashionable and stylish to dress up children of both sexes. And most importantly, for this it is absolutely not necessary to bypass half of the city's shops - just look at the Internet. Skirts, jeggings, leggings, polo shirts... Bright colors, trendy prints, stylish accessories... And what is very important - no fittings, nerves, fatigue. In short, this is a paradise for parents. All you need to know to buy clothes is the right size. And how to determine it, this article will teach. We hope that with our tips you will no longer have questions like “size 32, how tall is the child?”.

We are so different

After you have chosen your favorite skirt or shirt for your child, pay attention to the country of origin of the chosen item. This is very important as each country has its own sizing charts. And this applies not only to clothing, but also shoes, underwear, hosiery and hats. Apparently, this is due to the fact that different countries use different units of measurement. For example, in Russia it is centimeters and millimeters, and in the USA it is feet and inches. That is why it is sometimes difficult to figure out the sizes of clothes produced in the USA without certain knowledge.

As a rule, on English clothes, the size corresponds to the age of the child, and the label contains numbers that tell you how many years this or that thing is designed for.

It is even more difficult with clothes from Europe: most EU countries indicate sizes simply in Latin letters. And Chinese clothes are generally a separate conversation.

In addition, remember that French and small sizes, but things from Italy, Germany and Denmark, on the contrary, are quite large. In the first two cases, we recommend buying clothes one size larger, and in the other three - one size smaller.

Measure seven times

The most active buyers of children's clothing on the Internet are mothers of children under 14 years of age. More often, teenagers themselves like to choose what to wear, and the help of parents in this matter consists only in allocating finances for a coveted thing. With younger children, everything is much simpler: moms are happy to dress up their kids in whatever they want.

To determine what size clothes your child is wearing, you need to take some measurements with a tape measure. You need to know the height of the child, as well as the girth of his chest, waist and hips. This will come in handy in your online shopping.

Let's say you chose pants for your son, and they are marked size 32. What size do they fit? See in which country the trousers are made and look at the size charts below.

The first plate is an example of how the sizes of clothes of different manufacturing countries differ from each other. The second plate is a summary. This is the easiest way to choose clothes.

All in size

Many people like to order clothes from China. And no wonder: it is bright, relatively inexpensive, and if it is factory-made, then it is not bad in quality. However, not everyone knows Chinese and can read the name of the product. Often we focus only on the picture. Then it turns out that we order ourselves, say, a dress, and a thing arrives that fits your six-year-old daughter.

If you encounter such a problem, remember: children's and some teenage sizes with numbers end in the number 42. Anything larger is adult size. For example, size 32 is for children (see the table for what height the child is), but size 44 is for a slender adult lady.

And most importantly: even having studied the entire dimensional grid and knowing, for example, at what age size 32 (for what height of a child clothes with such parameters are suitable), it is best to get additional information from the administrators of online clothing stores. In online mode, they will help you choose clothes so that they look perfect on your child. They will ask you to measure the volume of your baby and ask what his height is.

True, sometimes manufacturers themselves do not know all the parameters of a particular thing. The fact is that not all manufacturers indicate such detailed information about the clothing they produce. Turkey often sins with this and, of course, China.

Let's say you have chosen an item. You know that you need a size 32. What height of the child this size goes for is not indicated in the manufacturer's size chart. If you doubt that the item you like will fit your child in size, it is better to look for another option so that you do not get upset about the money spent later.

When buying clothes in online stores, consider what build the child has. This is important, and here's why. Let's say you have a girl 130 centimeters tall. Not thin, not plump - 20-22 kilograms. Based on the size grid, she will fit size 32 and 34. What height is this in cm? Let's check the board. It turns out that 128-134 cm. And the girl, for example, is 130 cm. If you need clothes now, take 32, and if for growth - 34. - 36.

Discounts and sales

Many experienced parents know that it is more profitable to buy summer things in winter, and winter things in summer. As a rule, discounts and sales are held in all online stores.

How not to miss the size? Let's go back to our example. Suppose your baby wears size 32 in winter. What clothes to choose in winter for summer? Of course, one size up! That is, if now your baby is 110, then it is better to buy things for the summer for a height of 116. Do not forget to take into account growth spurts! Children are more active from 3 to 4 years old, from 7 to 8 years old and from 13 to 14 years old.

Children get to know the world around them, actively moving and literally conquering more and more peaks every day. Parents know that baby clothes should be not only beautiful, bright and attractive in design, but also comfortable and convenient, and therefore ideally suited to their size. But how to define it correctly?

How to determine the size of children's clothing?

There are several notation systems children's clothing sizes. According to the Russian standard, it is customary to indicate the height of the child on products. In this case, the difference between the values ​​​​is 6 cm (86 cm, 92 cm, 98 cm, etc.). This method is applicable for children up to 5-6 years old, when the pace of development of babies is quite similar. After this age, and for some manufacturers even earlier, other designations may appear on products that require additional measurements to be taken:

• bust- measurement is made by stretching a centimeter tape through the shoulder blades, armpits and nipple line;
• waist circumference- is determined by attaching the tape around its narrowest point;
• hip girth- the tape passes through the most convex points of the buttocks;
• crotch or the length along the inner seam - measured from the groin to the desired edge of the product (it will be needed to buy children's trousers, jeans, shorts, sliders, leggings, etc.);
• the length of the sleeve- corresponds to the length of the arm from the shoulder joint to the bone of the wrist (required for the selection of shirts, sweatshirts, long-sleeved T-shirts, etc.).

To obtain correct results during taking measurements, the baby should be in underwear or light sliders, and if he is too mobile and cannot stand still for a minute, take the necessary measurements using the available things that fit him perfectly. Growth until reaching 2 years of age is determined lying down, and only after - standing.

If the measurements made in the table refer to different values, then you should choose the one that suits them more. So, for example, if the height of a 1.5-year-old baby is 86 cm, it weighs 14 kg, and the chest circumference exceeds 54 cm, it is better to buy things marked "26". It may be that the child wears things with sizes 92 and 116 at the same time, but this happens extremely rarely and mainly due to the fact that the products of many factories are small.

How to find out what size?

In some countries, you can find a marking that is a designation children's clothing sizes by age, and for babies up to a year they are indicated monthly (0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12). Most often this is typical for models made in the USA. But for newborns in this case, a very important parameter is their weight. After all, one child may be born prematurely, while the other immediately weighs more than 4 kg. That is why the same vest can sit on little ones, for example, 2 months old in completely different ways.

Manufacturers usually sew outerwear for children - winter and demi-season - much more spacious, given that under it the mother will put on one or more sweaters for the baby. It is better to measure such models so as not to buy a thing that will be too large.

If when choosing children's clothing sizes doubts arise, it is better to prefer a larger model, because the baby grows very quickly and
very soon the purchased product will be in time for him. To buy a wardrobe for growth, you just need to remember a few features physical development children: for the first 3 months, the increase in size is approximately 1 value every one and a half months, from 3 months to 1 year, babies grow by size every 3 months, from one year to 4 years - reach the next height mark every six months, and after 4 -x years - add only one value per year. Besides, girls grow up at first faster boys. This information is especially useful for those who often buy wardrobe items as a gift.

Designation sizes for kids in Russia and Europe as a whole coincides, but still there is a slight difference. The fact is that in our country, according to GOST, a specific height corresponds to a thinner child (with a smaller chest girth) than in European countries, where the same height is considered standard for larger babies.

However, today Russian manufacturers strive to produce clothes that are close to European standards, so when choosing the right size, you should pay attention not only to height, but also to chest girth - this measurement is increasingly found in all kinds of clothing tables. It may even happen that a product that exactly fits this parameter will be intended for children whose height is 1 or 2 heights more than your baby. T-shirts and white t-shirts should be especially carefully chosen: they are sewn, taking into account the minimum value of chest girth.

All these tips for identifying suitable clothing sizes (table, buying things for growth, etc.) will come in handy if it is not possible to take your fidget with you to the store, as well as when ordering things via the Internet. But the most accurate way is still fitting.

There was no fashion for children in the Middle Ages

Often in the portraits of medieval artists you can see lovely kids and beautiful youths dressed up in original outfits. But a person who wanted to study the fashion for the younger generation of this era would be somewhat disappointed - in those days there was no concept of "children's clothing".

Costume historians believe there are two reasons for this.

First, the term itself is incorrect. The concept of childhood as we know it today did not exist then. Secondly, the way the people of that time were dressed depended not on age, but on status.

Babies and toddlers, regardless of gender, wore dresses. The grown-up boys and girls dressed exactly the same as their parents.

Since the majority of the population in the Middle Ages were serfs, it is clear that there is no need to talk about the abundance and diversity of the wardrobe. The clothes of the peasants were sewn from coarse and prickly wool, and even those were not enough - serf children wore the clothes of their elders.

Gradually, cities began to appear and a middle class developed - artisans and merchants. They dressed better than the peasants, but they were forbidden by status to wear the clothes of aristocrats. Of course, their sons and daughters also fit into this pattern.

And only the wealthy classes, numerically a small elite, could afford luxurious outfits. Therefore, the heirs of royal dynasties and noble families were dressed in silk, fine wool, perfectly dressed leather and cotton, rare for Europe.

Most parents do not know how to buy children's clothes correctly. After all, guessing with an outfit without trying on is quite difficult. As a rule, when choosing an outfit, you should focus on the height and age of the child.

For example, in order to find out what height size 32 is suitable for, you can use the table:

Child's age	Height in cm	Clothing size

It is not always possible to determine at what age the baby will fit the size from this table. After all, some children are thinner, while others are vice versa. Therefore, the following parameters should also be taken into account:

Waist.

Chest girth.

Therefore, in order to determine the parameters of 32 clothing sizes, it is better to use the following table:

Child's age	Height in cm	Waist, cm	Bust, cm	Clothing size

It is worth considering that for newborns, an equally important criterion is weight.

International Standards

It is necessary to carefully choose children's clothing in size 32, as some manufacturers may use international standards. Quite often on the tags you can see letter abbreviations. This means that the clothes were made abroad, for example, in America or the UK.

In order to determine the international child size 32 use the following table:

International

This table will be especially useful for you if you order men's clothing for your baby using the Internet on foreign sites.

European standards

Both in Russia and in Europe, calculations are carried out according to two standards - height and age:

Russian size			Europe EUR/GER/FR

It is quite easy to determine what height of a child this or that European standard will go to:

According to the Russian numbering parameter.

By growth.

According to the age.

For example, your baby's height is 128 cm. From the data in the table, it becomes clear that with such a child's height, it is worth buying clothes in size 32. Today, there are two meanings of Russian 32:

According to the table, you need to buy clothes 32 RU or 128 EU for 8 years. But given the fact that children are growing rapidly, it is more rational to buy 32 for 9 years or the corresponding European one - 134.

English settlement system

In addition to the Russian and European systems, there is another one - the American (USA). As in the previous two tables, the main criterion is height and age.

In order to find out which childhood Size 32 (US) will fit, use the following chart:

Russian size			USA England
			Newborn

For example, if your baby is size 32 (grown up), then you can safely buy him jeans from American standard manufacturers - 7, which he can wear for at least a year.

What is the best value to choose

It happens that two sizes can fit your baby at the same time. But which one is better to choose, not every mother knows. For example, if you are buying some kind of summer costume for your child, then it is best to buy the outfit that is larger. After all, if the clothes are back to back in the hot season, then the child will not be comfortable in it. This also applies to winter outfits. Hats are the exception. If you are buying a hat for your child for the winter, then choose a smaller one. This is especially true for hats on synthetic winterizer, because after the first wash, the product may shrink a little.

How to take clothes measurements

Chest girth. Measurements are taken from the shoulder blades to the nipples.

Waist. Measurement is taken along the thinnest line, slightly above the navel.

Hip girth. Measurement is carried out at the most convex points of the buttocks.

The length of the inseam and sleeve is measured depending on the style and shape of the product (shorts, shirt, etc.).

In almost all systems of international standards, the main criteria for buying children's outfits are height and size.

Focusing on these parameters, you can safely buy new clothes for your baby even without first trying them on.
