Children's clothing size chart. Sizes of children's clothing by age. For the little ones

It is not always possible to buy clothes for a child with 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 a summary information, in which the sizes of children's clothing are divided by age or basic biometric indicators (height, weight, etc.)

Dimensional chart for small children from birth.

Babies up to a year grow very quickly. In the first 12 months of life, the child grows 5-6 sizes. To choose the right clothes during this period, you need to focus on the growth of the baby: at this age, the size of things can be traced to the length of the baby's body in centimeters. European manufacturers often indicate the age to which a particular model corresponds. This is an average figure. It is important to consider here that children's clothes from Europe are sewn according to a more spacious pattern than Russian ones, and factory items from the USA generally have their own markings.

Important!!! Asked toHow to determine the size of a child's clothesup to a year, it is impossible to answer unequivocally. When choosing clothes, it is important to take into account the individual characteristics of each baby. Some children grow faster, babies with long legs will have to buy different sizes of blouses and pants, and it is better to take overalls right away 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 to take into account his 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 hat for your child, you need to know 2 parameters: the girth and depth of the head. The shape of the head is different for all children, so you should not be guided by age. Both of these parameters are important. It happens that the girth of the cap may fit, but the ears of the child or the back of the neck will not be closed. In this case, you will have to purchase a headpiece one size larger than the girth dictates. It may turn out that the cap is heavily stretched and presses on the baby, then the next size is also acquired, and so that the headdress does not slide over the eyes, it can be hemmed or pinned with a safe decorative pin. By age, the dimensional grid of hats for children can be conditionally broken down as follows:

Clothing sizes for children from 1 to 6 years old.

After 1 year, children begin to grow more slowly, and from this age, structural features of the body gradually begin to 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 girth, waist girth and leg length. Knowing these parameters, you can choose the most suitable clothes that will not need to be folded, sewn in or resort to the help of belts and suspenders.

Size chart of children's clothing by chest circumference, height, waist circumference and hip circumference:

Child size	Height (cm)	Bust (cm)	Waist (cm)	Hip girth (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 old	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 clothes by measurements? To answer it, you need to figure out how to take measurements correctly and for what type of clothing, what indicators are important.

• Chest circumference. Measured over the most prominent part of the chest. A measuring tape is passed along the shoulder blades through the armpits and freely converges on the chest. This indicator is important when choosing clothes with a clear, strict silhouette (vest, jacket, sundress) and made of hard fabric (jeans, corduroy, leather).
• Waist circumference. Measured along your natural waistline, which runs just above your belly button. This parameter will help when choosing any type of pants (trousers, jeans) and dresses with a fitted or straight silhouette.
• Hip girth. The centimeter is traced around the buttocks along the protruding point. Any pants, shorts, straight skirts will fit better and the child will be more comfortable if you know this value and take it into account when buying.
• Length at the outside seam. 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 size of the upper part of the clothes does not coincide with 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 with amazing speed. Even knowing the length of the child's leg by the outer seam, you can overshoot with the choice of pants. This is due to the fact that different cuts require different heights of the product. There is one more indicator that will help to avoid mistakes:

• Inseam or crotch length. This parameter in a child is measured with a measuring 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 will be useful to know one more characteristic:

Teenage size range of clothing.

As boys and girls age, differences in body structure become noticeable. This is important to consider, therefore, teenage children's clothing sizes differ in tables. In girls, the figure changes more rapidly and in a few years it acquires completely new features. 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)	Hip girth (cm)	Waist circumference narrowed silhouette (cm)	Hip circumference narrowed silhouette (cm)	Waist circumference free silhouette (cm)	Hip girth 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

15	166	89	69	94	64	89	74	99
16	168	91	71	96	66	91	76	101

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

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

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

Marking of manufacturers in different countries according to age.

IN different countries your view of modeling and designing clothes. Russian sizes of children's clothing are strictly in accordance with GOST. From a certain age, US manufacturers divide children's clothing sizes by gender, the table of which helps you quickly navigate in the labeling of models. Things from China are usually small. European models are characterized by a free cut, and their sizes are guided by the age of newborns by months.

Correspondence table of markings of different countries:

With the same height or age, children may differ significantly in other parameters. Consolidated size tables will definitely help you choose the best size for your child.

Clothes for babies are one of the most demanded and popular goods not only in our country, but all over the world. Therefore, today we will talk about how to translate child size clothes of the United States in Russian, how they differ and other important little things.

How to determine your parameters and find the right clothes?

A product exists as long as there is demand for it - this is a well-known axiom for all businessmen in Russia. And this applies directly to children's clothing. The US children's size chart differs significantly from our grid not only in designations, but also in parameters. But, despite the difference in measurements, clothes and shoes for children are needed in every country, not just in the United States, and people have to find a compromise. Experienced shop assistants learn to translate American clothing sizes into Russian for children, their parents and caring relatives.

Correspondence of the sizes of the USA and Russia for children's clothing can be determined according to special tables.

For kids preschool age, when ordering clothes on the Internet, for example, on aliexpress or similar sites, you need to indicate not only the height, but also the girth of the chest, waist or hips - depending on the product that you are going to purchase.

If your child is over six to seven years old, you need to decide on a range of American sizes for children. In Europe, the designation grid differs (the third option) from the American and Russian ones - there are children's and adults' options. Clothing for children from the United States is divided into the following groups:

For babies. Height + chest girth - the main parameters. The designation "M" is from the English month, ie months, or with numbers from 42 to 88. For a child aged from birth to three months, it is suitable baby suit from 43 to 58 centimeters. A romper or undershirt for a height of 58 to 65 centimeters is suitable for a child of three to six months. Next in the line of US measurements is the age of 6-9 months, and it corresponds to the numbers 67-72. For one-year-old babies, there are baby overalls with a height of 72-77. The next two points of the grid are for ages 1.5 and 2 years old, height 77-82 and 82-88 centimeters, respectively.

For preschoolers. Height + weight. In the USA, they are designated by the letters T, X, S. Remember that the same letters do not indicate the correspondence of measurements. 2T, 3T, 4T, less often 4.5T - here the numbers are an indicator of the child's age. The corresponding height and weight are indicated in special tables. If the weight is more than the specified one, and the height is appropriate, it is better to take the thing more. XXS, XS, X / S - denoting five, six and six to seven years.

For schoolchildren. This includes the younger school age and adolescence (up to 14 years). Please note that US baby size is different for boys and girls.

For young people. This is a separate line that combines styles for children and adults. As for the sizes, in the USA already adult marks are used, in Europe - for children, with the addition of X.

Most often, young mothers face the problem of choice, less often - dads who have just acquired their own children, but experienced parents do not lag behind them in this regard. Modern mom and dad, in search of the right thing, will quickly translate American sizes of children's clothes into Russian ones, using the help of the Internet or a “call to mom”. But what if there is neither one nor the other?

What is needed to determine the desired designation?

Regardless of where you are going to purchase the product - in the market, in a store, in a boutique or via the Internet in America or China, you need to take measurements in advance. For babies whose age has not yet reached the age of two, it is necessary to measure the height. Russian children's size for such babies is measured precisely by this indicator; in the USA, weight is also often needed. Sometimes, in addition to height, age is also indicated on a child's tag. Choosing things by age is not very good a good idea because everyone's development is different. And a child a year can wear something that is designed for one and a half or two - consider this when choosing things.

What a variety of children's stores nowadays: 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 baby clothes not in size. Well, if the thing turned out to be large, but if it is small? To avoid such disappointment, you should be well-versed in two things. The first is the child's body parameters that you measured correctly. And the second is the correct determination of the current size of clothing, and depending on the manufacturer. So, let's start our "excursion" with initial preparation - measurements of the child's parameters.

Will it or won't it? This question worries all mothers when buying clothes for children.

Calculator

1. The main indicator for most manufacturers is growth. To measure it accurately, place your barefoot child against a flat, vertical surface, such as a wall. Make a mark at the level of the top of the head, and then measure the line on the wall with a centimeter or ruler. With age, children show individual characteristics of the structure of the body. Someone is fuller, someone is thinner. Someone has longer legs, someone shorter. One baby has a wide chest, and the other is the other way around, so it is important to determine at least 5 more parameters, in addition to growth (there are more than 10 of them in general).
2. To measure the circumference of your chest, slide a centimeter under your arms through your ribcage and shoulder blades (we recommend reading :).
3. When measuring the waist, it must not be pulled tight, the tape must remain free.
4. When measuring a child's thighs, the tape should go over the buttocks.
5. To measure the length of the sleeve, first bend the child's arm a little and only then take the measurement: from the shoulder joint to the wrist joint.
6. To measure the length of your trousers, run the tape from the waist to the 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 the remaining metric indicators are for determining children's clothing size: chest, hips, waist, etc.

Most likely, over time, you will find your favorite manufacturers, whose things not only look great on their own, but also fit your child perfectly. 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 clothes. Let's start with our domestic production, and then we'll talk about foreign manufacturers from Europe, the USA and China.

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

Sizes of children's clothing from China

It will not be superfluous to understand the peculiarities of Chinese things - 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 are markings with the letter "T". For example, 9 T or 10 T. "T" means the number of years, ie. 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 differ significantly from Russian sizes, so you need to carefully choose things

Finally, briefly about the important things in our journey

Choosing clothes for a child - not an easy task, which you can cope with using size tables

1. Children with the same height can vary greatly in other parameters. Use children's clothing size charts - then you can't go wrong.
2. Foreign manufacturers often take into account not only volumes, but also the sex of the child. For example, for 5-year-olds, there will be separate grades for girls and boys.
3. Some manufacturers have peculiarities in the length of the product, the girth of the waist or chest, 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 Russians - for thinner ones.
5. If you buy a French product, take a larger one, because their things are mostly small.
6. With German and Italian things, it is just the opposite: after the purchase, they remain for some time to grow.
7. In China, things are a little more complicated. They can measure more and less. You should only trust children's clothing sizes from "Factory China".
8. If the baby is less than 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 baby's delicate skin. After 5 years, you can safely buy things with intricate clasps.
9. It is worth washing new items, even if they have been sealed. However, keep in mind that natural fabrics in hot water they sit down strongly.

As a rule, young mothers have some difficulty in choosing the right clothing size for their baby. It's good if you manage to visit the store with your child, then you can choose necessary thing"By eye" or even try it on. But what to do when ordering, for example, clothes in an online store or if you cannot go shopping on your own and you need to send your dad? How to understand the numbers indicated on the tags and not be mistaken? For example, how to determine if the Russian children's size is 26-28, what is the height of the child? We will give some recommendations to help you choose the right size clothing.

The ratio of the sizes of children's clothing of foreign and Russian production

Unfortunately, a single international standard for specifying the size of children's clothing, as well as for adults, has not been adopted. Even in Europe there is no unity on this issue. Many foreign manufacturers indicate the height of the child or even the height and the corresponding age to indicate the size of clothes, and this is undoubtedly the simplest marking option.

Russian-made clothing size table

Russian commodity producers, unlike some of their foreign colleagues, are not looking for easy ways. T-shirts, panties, as well as wardrobe items for babies of domestic origin have size designations in accordance with state standards adopted in our country back in the 80s and 90s of the last century. Faced with such dimensions for the first time, any buyer will be interested, for example, in the size 28 for children, what the height of the child is suitable for.

What physiological parameters should be considered when selecting the required size of children's clothing

Careful reading of the table makes one thing obvious. The data in it is ambiguous. Difficulty is, for example, size 28 for children. How tall is he? In accordance with the table, at 86-92 and at 110-116. At the same time, the volume of the chest in both cases is 56 cm. Thus, it is not enough to know the height to determine the size of domestic-made children's clothing. It is also necessary to know the volume of the baby's chest. At the same time, one should not neglect the second parameter if the child is larger than his peers. When buying Russian wardrobe items, you should pay attention to this, and only then to height and age.

The thing is that Russian models are designed for thin children. This is due to the fact that at the time when state standards were adopted, preference was given to breastfeeding newborns. The majority of modern children who grew up on artificial substitutes breast milk, in many physiological parameters, they overtake children of previous generations.

To find the right size, several rules should be applied:

1. When choosing a suitable size, it is necessary to take into account not only the height of the child, but also the volume of the chest. For example, children's clothing size 28 for what height is it calculated? As you can see from the table, this size assumes a height of 86-92 or 110-116 with a chest volume of 56 cm.
2. In the grid of sizes there are only even numbers - from 18 to the usual 44. In other words, 19 or 33 sizes cannot be found.
3. The difference between adjacent sizes is 6 cm in height and 4 cm in chest volume.
4. The sizes of children's clothes are repeated. For example, sizes 28 and 30. In this case, only the growth parameter changes in the same size, and the volume of the chest remains unchanged. Thus, for example, size 30 of clothes will successfully suit a child with a chest volume of 60 cm, but the height can be chosen from 110 to 128 cm. And size 28 for a child for what height is indicated above.
