Understand what it means XL-size

Sometimes it is very, very sad when, having boughtthe thing you like, you suddenly find that it absolutely does not fit in size. It is doubly insulting when the goods (for example, underwear) can not be exchanged. Therefore, it is important to learn to navigate in modern markings. For example, let's see what the XL-size means.

Measuring ourselves

It is accepted that under the designation XL native Russian 52-54 are hidden. But we will not rely on rumors, but we will remove the necessary measures.

Women (and men too) measure the circumference of the waist, chest and thighs. If you work with a centimeter tape in a novelty, then ask someone to help you.

To figure out whether you fit inXL-size, determine the girth of your chest. This parameter is measured by the most prominent points, the ribbon of the armpit and then on the back. If you have protruding shoulder blades, then the tape should pass through them.

The circumference of the waist is measured strictly at this very waist, without tightening the tape tight.

When measuring the hips, try to fly along the most prominent points of the buttocks.

Size Chart XL

Now we have numbers in our hands. It's time to get acquainted with the tables of the size range. What are they needed for? It is easier to compare them. It is not difficult to find tables, they are published quite often. Sometimes branded things are accompanied by this data.

So, in the table we find our indicators. For girls of small stature (150-160 cm), the XL-size is determined by the waist in the region of 81 or 89 centimeters, the chest in the range from 101 to 109 centimeters, and the hips - 108 or 115. For tall girls and those whose growth is standard 164 centimeter, add to the mentioned numbers 1-2 centimeters. It is clear that if your goal is to buy a blouse, then give priority to the girth of the chest.

In tables sometimes put one more graph - weight. It would be nice to add a parameter that defines the composition.

Now we talked about women's dimensions. Now we define the male size XL. What size is it? In the table appear already familiar to us girths of the chest, waist. In centimeters it will be: 104 cm - chest, from 96 to 99 centimeters - waist circumference. When choosing trousers, it's a good idea to pre-measure the length of the legs. And not only on the outside of the waist to the floor, but also on the inside, to determine the length of the inner seam. This accuracy guarantees an ideal fit.

A little bit about the intricacies

The above figures are still too generalized. An error of 2 or 3 centimeters is normal.

In addition, XL-size on American clothing candiffer from the same notation on Chinese things. Yes, and with Europeans a similar situation. Therefore, we carefully compare our dimensions with those given in the comparative tables. It is useful to acquire several options that reflect the parameters for "Americans", "Europeans" and "Chinese".

Still it is necessary to mean, that for the underwear apply the marks.

Features are also in the selection of elastic clothes. It captures a larger range of dimension series.
