How to determine a boy's clothing size: only successful purchases! Children's clothing size 6

It is convenient and profitable to order children's clothing on Aliexpress. You can find very cheap clothes there. Buy in small wholesale for growth or in the company of friends. Aliexpress has a lot of high-quality children's clothing at an affordable price.

Usually clothes on Aliexpress are accompanied by large detailed photographs, from which it is easy to judge the material, in which the main elements of the clothing are visible. Children's clothing on Aliexpress is fashionable and interesting. To successfully order clothes, it is important to determine the correct size.

Aliexpress uses a clothing size table similar to the US size chart. But often children's clothing from Aliexpress runs one or two sizes small compared to US clothing of the same size. Many sellers provide their sizes of children's clothing items in the product description. Scroll through the product description on Aliexpress to the end, it is long, the table of sizes of the selected clothing is located after the characteristics and after the advertising block, before the photo.

Also on Aliexpress, next to choosing a size according to the US sizing chart, some lots display a “Sizing info” link, which opens a table of sizes for children’s clothing.

Feedback from the seller works well on Aliexpress. You can ask the seller about the actual sizes of the clothing items or ask them to select suitable size clothes according to your child's measurements. Write in English, if you have problems, use an automatic translator from Russian to English.

Here is a table of the correspondence of children's clothing sizes from Aliexpress to the child's metric parameters and Russian sizes in Russian. Size markings are similar to US sizes. Aliexpress size chart is different from US size chart. Metric parameters in the tables are given in centimeters. For brevity, we will call Russian sizes Russian.

First, a table of sizes of Aliexpress children's clothing for infants and children up to two years old.

The Aliexpress size chart differs from Russian sizes and sizes aimed at growing a child. Therefore, in order to better select children's clothes by size on Aliexpress, in the correspondence table we indicate such a Russian size or size-height so that the clothes fit the child or are a little taller. If two sizes are indicated through a dash, for example 20-22, then the US size is slightly larger than size 20 and smaller than size 22. The same goes for growth. If the size indicated is height 56-68, then the height for this US size is more than 56 cm and less than 68 cm.

In Aliexpress children's size tables, US size 0-3M is often simply designated 3M, 4-6M - respectively 6M, etc., see the table below:

Almost all sellers on Aliexpress convert US sizes to their own sizes, which are related to the child’s growth. The size grid has a step of 10 cm: 90, 100, 110... There is a size grid with a step of 5 cm. Often in the table such sizes are indicated with a “#” sign at the end, for example: 100#.

AliExpress height-related sizing and US sizing vary greatly between children's clothing manufacturers. Most clothes run 1-2-3 sizes small, but it happens the other way around. If clothes are sold individually, then the seller almost always provides a table of sizes, which indicates the recommended height of the child. It is this table that you need to focus on when choosing child size clothes.

Below is a table of children's clothing sizes on Aliexpress for children under 16 years old. The main size will be the child's height from the Aliexpress children's size charts. Options size chart We present them based on data from most tables. The US size line indicates the range of possible sizes: Determine your size using the size chart in the description of the product you have chosen. For children under 16-18 years old, children's clothing on Aliexpress comes from sizes 5 to 20.

Tables of children's sizes in the description of Aliexpress clothing and on the “Sizing info” link have a fundamental difference from similar tables on Russian and European sites in how the parameters of chest, waist, hips, etc. are measured. Russian and European size tables indicate the chest circumference of a child for whom clothing of a given size fits. And Aliexpress indicates the width of a particular clothing model at chest level. Plus, the Aliexpress seller notes that he took the measurements manually, so they may differ by 1-2 cm or 2-3 cm. It is clear that clothes are always wider than the circumference of the chest, waist or hips. It’s convenient to assess whether a child’s size is suitable by trying on similar clothing models you have and comparing them with measurements from the Aliexpress table.

In the description of Aliexpress clothing, tables of children's sizes are published in the form of pictures. The automatic translator does not translate them into Russian. Below are pictures with examples of measurements. different types children's clothing and captions in English, which are used in children's size tables. We hope that these pictures will help you easily translate any size chart into Russian.

Today, buying children's clothing in foreign online stores is becoming more and more popular. To order American children's clothing, in order not to make a mistake with the size, you need to know the American size chart. The US children's clothing size chart differs from the Russian and European ones. US children's sizes are determined by the child's age. Children's clothing in the USA is made according to the average metric parameters of American children corresponding to their age.

Still, it is better to select the size of children's clothing according to metric parameters, and not according to the child’s age. To do this, it is convenient to use the table below. For children under six years of age, US clothing sizes can be determined by height and weight. If your height is listed at a lower weight, take larger size. From the age of six, the US size chart is divided into clothing sizes for girls and boys. For this childhood American size can be determined by height, and the volume of the chest, waist, and hips.

American size chart for babies up to two years old. The table shows different designations for the same sizes.

American clothing size chart for children from two to six to seven years old.

For kids bigger sizes are divided into girls' sizes and boys' sizes, which are indicated in the following two tables.

The data given in the table may differ slightly from the sizing charts of some companies. As elsewhere, each children's clothing manufacturer chooses its own size chart. Clothing models also impose their own characteristics. When buying branded clothing in an online store, you can check the size according to the manufacturer’s sizing chart; also, for specific products, a characteristic size is often indicated. When buying children's clothing in a store, you can use a centimeter to measure the length of sleeves, trousers, chest width, etc., comparing with similar measurements of the clothes the child wears.

You can rarely find American clothes on the Russian market. But we often see clothing sizes indicating the child’s age and, as a rule, from manufacturers whose products do not correspond to average metric parameters, differing by two or three sizes from the real ones.

What a variety of children's stores there are now: both on the street and on the Internet! The eye rejoices and gets lost in this abundance. Many parents have at least once bought children's clothes that are the wrong size. It’s good if the item turns out to be too big, but what if it’s too small? To ensure that such disappointment never befalls you, you should be well versed in two things. The first is the child’s body parameters, which you correctly measured. And secondly, the correct determination of the current clothing size, depending on the manufacturer. So, let's start our “tour” with initial preparation - measuring the child’s parameters.

Calculator

Dear reader!

This article talks about typical ways to solve your issues, but each case is unique! If you want to know how to solve your particular problem, ask your question. It's fast and free!

1. The main indicator for most manufacturers is growth. To accurately measure it, place the barefoot child near a flat vertical surface, such as a wall. Make a mark at the level of the top point of the head, and then measure the line on the wall with a centimeter or ruler. With age, children develop individual characteristics of their body structure. Some are fuller, some are thinner. Some have longer legs, some have shorter ones. One baby has a wide chest, and the other - on the contrary, so it is important to determine at least 5 more parameters, in addition to height (in general there are more than 10).
2. To measure chest circumference, draw a centimeter under your arms through your chest and shoulder blades (we recommend reading:).
3. When measuring the waist, it should not be pulled tight; the tape should remain loose.
4. When measuring a child's hips, the tape should pass through the buttocks.
5. To measure the sleeve length, 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 trousers, run the tape from waist to ankle lengthwise. side seam pants legs

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 sizes: chest, hips, waist, etc.

Chances are, over time, you'll find brands you love whose items not only look great on their own, but also fit your child well. What manufacturers can be found on the Russian market? How to determine the sizes of children's clothing? Let's take it one by one, including with the help of our tables with children's clothing sizes. Let's start with our domestic production, and then we'll talk about foreign manufacturers from Europe, the USA and China.

For children younger age It is important to know only height and age; other measurements are needed at an older age

Children's clothing sizes 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 beyond 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. Another important thing is that the domestic size range is wider than the Chinese one. For example, for babies under one year old in China there are 4 sizes, but here we have as many as 6.

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

Children under 2 years of age:

Finally, briefly about what is important in our journey

Choosing clothes for a child is not an easy task, which can be solved with the help of size charts

1. Children with the same height can differ greatly in other parameters. Use size charts for children's clothing - then you won't go wrong.
2. Foreign manufacturers often take into account not only volumes, 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 are designed 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 it’s just the opposite: after purchase, they remain for some time to grow.
7. In China, things are a little more complicated. They can run big or small. You should only trust 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 convert special attention and on the material: natural - more preferable for the baby’s delicate skin. After 5 years, you can safely buy things with intricate clasps.
9. It is worth washing new things, even if they were hermetically sealed. However, keep in mind that natural fabrics They shrink a lot in hot water.

Creating a children's wardrobe for your child can sometimes be difficult, and this is due to the difficulty in choosing a size. To avoid making mistakes when purchasing, it is worth studying the size tables for different age categories. They will tell you how to determine the size correctly, and the correspondence table will help you understand the required “dimensions” with a minimum error.

Size chart for children's clothing (Russia, Europe, China, USA)

1. Foreign online stores attract attention with a large assortment of children's clothing, and seasonal discounts allow you to save the family budget. But since foreign manufacturers have different standards from Russian ones, parents often risk purchasing things that are not the right size for their children. So, translating US sizes into Russian, you can see that the ratio differs not only in the number system, but also in the markings.
2. A table of sizes by age will help you choose clothes for your baby, made according to European standards. But mainly parents should pay attention to such parameters as height and chest girth. Sometimes the appropriate size may be one or two sizes larger than the child's height. This is especially noticeable when choosing T-shirts, tight-fitting T-shirts from underwear sets; they are sewn to a minimum chest circumference.
3. Clothes sizes for children from 0 and older will help you choose clothes for your child to grow into. In the first three months, children add size every 1-1.5 months. After three months to a year, babies grow a size more often - every 3-3.5 months. Then growth slows down slightly; from 1 year to 4 years, babies add size every six months. And children over four years old grow by about 1 size over the entire year.

Metric size chart for children's clothing

When measuring a child’s parameters to select clothes, the following must be measured:

• waist circumference - measured with a measuring tape without a retracted abdomen at the narrowest point of the waist (visually);
• hip circumference - measurement is carried out by applying a measuring tape to the most protruding points (going through the buttocks);
• chest girth - a measuring tape is pulled through the armpits, shoulder blades and nipple line;
• The crotch seam is the measured length from the inside of the thigh from the groin to the ankle (edge ​​of the product). The crotch seam helps to find out the size with greater accuracy when choosing trousers, rarely when choosing underwear;
• sleeve length - measured with a tape with centimeters, starting from the shoulder joint to the wrist (along the entire length of the arm).

How to correctly measure a child's parameters?

Height

Sizes of clothing for children according to height are indicated by Russian and European manufacturers. The height measurement is always taken first. For a child from birth to 2 years old, this parameter is measured in a horizontal position using a special meter ruler or a fixed centimeter tape. Height must be measured from head to toe.

For children over two years of age, it is easier to measure height in vertical position near the doorway, leaving a mark at the level of the top of the head with a pencil and then measuring it from the very floor with the same measuring tape.

Waist circumference

It is measured in the same way as it is done for an adult - a tape with centimeters is fixed at the thinnest point of the waist. Important point When taking waist measurements with a centimeter tape, it is necessary that the child does not suck in his stomach.

Bust/hip

A measuring tape wraps around the child's chest or hips, applying to the most protruding points. In this case, be sure to take into account the protrusion of the abdomen.

Head/neck circumference

The accuracy of this measure depends right choice headdress for a child. When taking measurements of the volume of the head, the tape is drawn starting from the middle of the forehead, along the most prominent places. Taking measurements of the neck circumference mainly takes place during individual tailoring of items in the workshop. When measuring the circumference of the neck, the measuring tape is wrapped loosely around it.

Sleeve length

A measurement equal to the number of centimeters from the point of the base of the shoulder to the end thumb indicates the sleeve length parameter. It is measured with the child in an upright position using a soft measuring tape.

Leg length

The length of the trouser legs (crotch seam) is determined by measuring the distance with a soft measuring tape from the groin area to the ankle. It is necessary to measure the inseam when sewing school uniform, jeans, etc.

Children's underwear size chart

For girls

For boys

• Brightly colored fabrics can cause an allergic reaction, so children's underwear under 3 years old should be in calm, neutral shades.
• Underwear made of natural fiber (cotton) is highly breathable, does not irritate the skin and is very pleasant to the body, which is important when worn by children of all ages.
• Decorative elements (elastic bands, ruffles, lace) on underwear can be beautiful, but with constant contact with children's skin they bring discomfort and provoke irritation. It's best to choose quality kits with seamless technology - they provide the necessary ventilation of the body and are very comfortable to wear.

Size chart for children's hats

What is important to pay attention to when measuring and choosing the size of hats for children:

• The size of a cap or hat is determined very simply - you need to measure the circumference of your head with a centimeter tape. The age-appropriate size of the headdress will exactly match the circumference of the head in centimeters.
• It is important to use the graduated tape correctly. It should not dangle loosely or be too tight.
• In the first 12 months of life, a child’s head grows by about 1 cm every month, so a headdress purchased for a 3-month-old baby will become frankly small after 4-5 weeks.
• In boys and girls of infant age, the head circumference (and, accordingly, the size of the headdress) may differ slightly.
• Significant deviations from the table indicators are an important reason to seek advice from your local pediatrician.

1. Measure your child's parameters (hips, chest, height) immediately before purchasing. Take measurements of your child wearing underwear. The accuracy of the measurements will make it possible to choose the size that best suits your baby.
2. During the first year of life, children gradually manage to wear 5-6 clothing sizes. Take this into account when buying things for a baby - the child will grow quickly, so buy sizes with a margin.
3. If possible, buy demi-season and winter clothing sets only after trying them on your child. The sizes of children's clothing up to one year are especially important to consider when purchasing separates. warm overalls. The chosen model should be moderately free, not restrict the child’s movements, and not be too large. Jackets and coats allow a large air flow to pass through, which is critical for health at low temperatures, so they should not be purchased “for growth.”
4. When choosing clothes from French brands, pay attention to the correspondence of the presented size and the height of your child - as a rule, things from France are “small” by 1 unit.
5. Germany and Italy produce clothes for children, mostly in large sizes, so you can safely take your child an item in a size or smaller - if you plan to wear the purchased product immediately after purchase.
6. Children's clothing from China often differs from the size chart downwards, so you should not trust it. If fitting is not possible (for example, when purchasing in an online store), contact the seller to clarify the specific dimensions of the item. Alternatively, you can specify the child’s parameters and, together with an online consultant, select the appropriate size.
