Children's size 28, what height is it designed for, or how to determine clothing size

How to determine the parameters of children's clothing

To determine the size of children's clothing, you can use the size chart. First you'll have to take a few measurements.

1. Height.
2. Head circumference - (OG).
3. Waist circumference - (OT).
4. Hip circumference - (about).
5. The length of the sleeve.
6. Length trousers.

If we consider the parameters in the table of children's clothing sizes by age, such a number of measurements will not be needed. When choosing clothes for a toddler under 3 years old, you should only take into account height and age. When buying winter or demi-season items, you need to take measurements and put a sweater, tights, and pants on your child. The sizes of children's clothing will depend not only on the measurements received, but also on the standards of the manufacturer itself, which may differ within one country, not to mention international standards.

Taking correct measurements

The main criterion included in the tables of children's clothing sizes from all manufacturers is height. To take this measurement, you should place the barefoot baby on a hard, flat surface, near a flat wall. Then you need to make a mark on the wall at the level of the highest point above the top of the baby’s head. Next, using a centimeter, measure the segment.

As children grow older, their figure acquires its own characteristics, therefore, starting from the age of 3, more measurements should be taken. There are more than 10 of them in total. The chest circumference is measured by tracing a centimeter around the body under the shoulder blades, at the highest point in the front. When measuring your waist, you should not tighten the centimeter too much. Hips are measured at the highest point of the buttocks, taking into account an allowance of 1-2 cm.

The length of the sleeve is measured along the arm slightly bent at the elbow joint, from the shoulder to the wrist.

The length of the trousers is determined by the length from the waist to the ankle, along the outer edge. For babies, an important parameter is neck girth.

Children under 3 years of age still have quite large heads, so often, when buying sweaters without additional buttons on the neck, parents are faced with the fact that the item simply does not fit on the baby. The measuring tape should be circled 2 cm above the junction of the neck and shoulders. Add 1 cm to the result obtained.

If your baby was born not so long ago, do not rush to buy him too many things, because he will not even have time to wear most of them. Babies under 1 year old manage to fit 6 clothing sizes.

Labeling of children's clothing from Russian manufacturers

Russia is trying to sew children's clothes according to GOST. If you manage to find things that meet all standards, problems with choosing parameters will never arise. Below is a table of clothing sizes for children from domestic manufacturers.

Chinese markings

The size range of children's clothing from Chinese manufacturers is represented quite widely in Russia. Chinese models are in particular demand among our compatriots due to their brightness, unusual styles, and pricing policy. The determining criterion for Chinese sizing charts is age, not height. Below you can take a closer look at the table for ages 0-2 years.

For children who have passed infant age, the marking will include a number indicating the age with the letter T. For example, 5T means that we have a thing for a 5-year-old child. Please note: Chinese sizes for children by age are presented in smaller quantities. If in Russia there are 6 markers for infants, then in China there are only 4.

Children under 2 years of age:

Boys 3-17 years old

Girls 3-15 years old

Sometimes you can find markings with the letter “T” on Chinese clothes. Such clothing is intended for children over 2 years old: the number before the letter indicates the age in years: 2T for a two-year-old child, 3T for a three-year-old child, etc.

Some tips when choosing children's clothing:

• Clothing from France, as a rule, runs small, so you should take the product one size larger than you need.
• On the contrary, German and Italian items are larger: if you want your child to wear them immediately after purchase, you can take a size smaller.
• You should trust the size chart of things from China only if they are “manufactured in China”. Counterfeits very often deceive with sizes, both larger and smaller.
• When measuring a child's height, chest and hips, do so with the child wearing only underwear.
• For children under 3 years old, choose items made from natural fabrics and easy to put on: the simpler the fastener, the better.
• Wash before wearing even those newly purchased items that are hermetically sealed! At the same time, keep in mind that natural fabric is susceptible to high temperatures, and if you are going to wash things in very hot water, take them a size larger!

European and American markings

It is quite difficult to select the parameters of things for children by age, especially if you are going to order new clothes from a foreign supplier. In this case, you again need to use the measurement table.

Children's clothing sizes

There is a special grid that displays approximate data on the growth of children at different periods of growing up, called size. She can be a great help in choosing a new thing as a gift for someone else’s little one. For newborn babies, parameters are calculated by month; after finding out the baby’s initial height, add 2-3 cm to it every 30 days.

Having such a plate at hand, you will quickly find your way around the sizing charts of almost any suppliers.

For little fashionistas: some foreign standards

This data will help you choose the right shoes and clothes for your child.

However, it is important to remember a few basic rules.

• For kids: fashion is good, but comfort comes first! A two-year-old baby will be absolutely indifferent to which couturier these jeans or dresses are from, but if it is uncomfortable, then crying and whims are guaranteed.
• For older children: as soon as the child begins to show interest in his own appearance, be sure to take into account his taste preferences when choosing clothes and shoes. This is one of the ways to express yourself and shape your personality, so for harmonious development the phrase “wear what you give” is definitely not suitable.

How not to make a mistake with your choice

Children with the same height can differ greatly in other criteria. Selecting the correct clothing size for children will help you make sizing charts from individual suppliers that reflect additional measurements. Domestic tables pay great attention to growth, while foreign ones are focused on age. In Europe, children's clothes are sewn more freely than in Russia. In European countries, it is customary to dress babies in the most loose clothing that does not restrict movement, so when buying European brands you should pay attention to smaller markers, while things from French manufacturers should be chosen in larger sizes. The ideal option would be to take all measurements in full, without neglecting additional ones, and only then select things. When buying demi-season, winter jackets, sheepskin coats, fur coats, it is better to take your child with you. If you are not sure that the item will fit, refuse to purchase without trying it on.

Make the right choice

Always keep in mind that it is better to take something with a reserve that will last for growth than something small or even close

. After all, in a tight and uncomfortable, even the most beautiful new thing, the baby will be uncomfortable - in this case, there will certainly be no time for games, he will whine, be capricious and try to take it off. But if the outfit for your daughter or son is too big, then your child will still have time to grow into it in any case. Taking into account all the nuances, you can easily and competently choose a children’s casual or festive outfit that will certainly fit your baby and will not cause any unnecessary trouble for you.

If you still haven’t guessed which clothing size 26 is suitable for your baby, don’t forget that what you bought can always be given as a gift or resold. Or even give it to charity.

Be careful when choosing things, and then your baby will not only be stylish and beautiful, but also happy!

What you should pay attention to

Of course, size plays a major role when choosing children's clothes, but do not forget about the quality of the products. You should not put synthetic things on your children. They cause allergies, wear poorly, and prevent the body from breathing. For children under one year old, it is not advisable to buy new clothes that can be worn over the head without additional fasteners at the neck. Don’t forget about small fittings on things for children under 3 years old. It poses a real threat to the baby's life.

You should always buy something with slightly larger parameters. Natural fabrics, especially cotton, shrink when washed. Pay attention to the labels. They should not be sharp; if possible, it is better to remove them immediately before wearing them.
