Height 80 cm what size of clothes. Children's clothing sizes by age

Material Topics

All mothers and fathers know perfectly well how clothes "burn" on children, who, due to their rapid growth and active lifestyle, in a matter of months "wear out" new blouses, trousers, beacons, etc.

You have to buy clothes for children several times a year. It is not only expensive, but also quite difficult, because the size of the child is constantly changing and needs to be monitored. Remember that it is not permissible to buy tight or too loose things for children, because children's clothing should not only be beautiful, bright and of high quality, but also must be suitable in size. Only in this case the child will be comfortable in it.

Today we will tell you how to correctly determine the size of children's clothing, depending on the age, gender and parameters of the child. It is easy to find out how tall the child is - what size.

Children's clothing size chart

If we are talking about babies, then here Russian manufacturers offer a general size range for boys and girls. Based on all possible indicators, we have tried to provide a complete material about the size of clothes for children by age, height, weight and other indicators.

It often happens that instead of size, the age of the child for whom the thing is designed is written on things. As a rule, such markings are most often found on American-made children's clothes.

These designations are very arbitrary, since the difference in height or weight of two babies of the same age can be very impressive. Therefore, when buying such things, it is best for you to focus on the table of correspondence of the child's age to its parameters: weight, height, chest girth, hips, etc.

Table of approximate correspondence of the child's age to his physical parameters and the Russian size of things

42	164	14	38-43	81	69	88	77

Using this table is fairly straightforward.

For example, if the thing you need is marked with the mark "5 years", then you see what Russian size it roughly corresponds to, as well as what height and weight it is designed for. In the table you will see that this size implies a height of 110 cm. If your five-year-old baby is taller and has already reached a height of 114 cm, then the size "6 years old" is more suitable for him.

But do not forget that tables for determining the size of children's clothing by age will only help you to roughly navigate these markings, and will not give a guarantee of one hundred percent hitting the size, since such designations are very arbitrary and often differ from different manufacturers. The only exceptions are the corresponding tables published on the websites of companies producing certain children's things.

How to take measurements from a child?

In order to correctly determine the size of your child according to the table of sizes of children's clothing, you need to take all the necessary measurements from him:

• Chest girth (we draw a measuring tape under the child's armpits through his shoulder blades and nipples);
• Hip girth (measured by the convex points of the buttocks);
• Waist (the thinnest place on the child's torso);
• Inseam (distance from groin to where the heel touches the floor);
• Sleeve length (from shoulder to wrist bone).

When taking measurements, your child should stand upright, hands down at the seams. Older children are measured in underwear, and babies in diapers, since purchased items should allow to wear absorbent panties under them.

If your baby is less than two years old, then all measurements are taken while lying down, and if the child is older, then standing.

In the case when you cannot calm down your fidget and ask him to stand still for at least five minutes, you can do otherwise. Measure his things instead of the child, but be careful and take measurements only from those wardrobe items that are fully suitable for the baby.

Knowing the child's parameters will allow you to easily navigate the clothing tables above.

Tips for choosing the right size for kids

• If the child's parameters correspond to different sizes, then the choice here depends on the type of thing. When purchasing a jumpsuit, be guided by those values ​​that are higher. When buying trousers, the main indicators of size are the width of the hips and the height of the child. And if you buy a jacket, then here choose the size that matches the baby's chest circumference and the desired sleeve length.
• Please note that children's T-shirts and T-shirts usually have a minimum allowance. Therefore, if the parameters of your child are on the border of two markings, it is better to give preference to the larger thing;
• When making any purchases, you should be guided not by reference size tables, but by the information published on the websites of manufacturers of things and online stores where you buy clothes. In the latter case, you need to be especially vigilant, since when shopping remotely, you no longer have the opportunity not only to measure a thing on a child, but even simply, to visually assess its size;
• When choosing the size of clothes for children, always take measurements again, as the child is growing rapidly and his parameters can change in a matter of months. Babies up to three months grow by about 1 size every 30 days. Children under one year old change size every 3 months, and children from 1 to 4 years old every six months grow by 1 height mark. After four years, the size changes about once a year;
• When buying a winter overalls for a baby, do not rush to take a thing several sizes larger. If you are planning to buy clothes for growth, you can allow a step in one size. Keep in mind that winter clothes for children are already sewn loose enough, taking into account that the mother will put on several blouses, warm pants, etc. on the child. Therefore, if a thing is 2-3 sizes large for a child, he will simply "fly out" of it;
• When choosing outerwear for a child, do not forget about safety requirements and give preference to jackets, sneakers or trousers with reflective particles. Thanks to these reflectors, your little one will be clearly visible even in the dark.

These rules for choosing clothing sizes (table and basic principles) are especially relevant in the case when you buy things over the Internet or, for some reason, cannot take your child with you to the store.

It is sometimes difficult to compose a children's wardrobe for your child, and the reason for this is the difficulty in choosing the size. In order not to make a mistake when buying, it is worth studying the size tables of different age categories. They will tell you how to determine the size correctly, and the correspondence table will help you to understand the required "dimensions" with a minimum error.

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

When measuring the parameters of a child for choosing clothes, the following shall be measured:

• waist circumference - measured with a measuring tape without the abdomen pulled in at the narrowest point of the waist (visually);
• hip girth - measurement is performed with a tape attached 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 is the measured length from the inside of the thigh from the groin to the ankle (edge ​​of the garment). A crotch seam helps to find out the size with greater accuracy when choosing trousers, rarely - for underwear;
• sleeve length - measured with a tape in centimeters, starting from the shoulder joint to the wrist (along the entire length of the arm).

How to correctly measure the parameters of a child?

Height

The sizes of clothes for children by height are indicated by Russian and European manufacturers. Growth is always measured 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 should be measured from crown to heel.

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

Waist circumference

It is measured in the same way as it is done in an adult - a tape with centimeters is fixed at the thinnest point of the waist. An important point when taking a waist measurement with a centimeter tape is that the child does not pull in his stomach.

Bust / hip

A measuring tape wraps around the child's chest or thighs, applying to the most prominent points. In this case, it is imperative to take into account the protrusion of the abdomen.

Head / neck girth

The correct choice of a headdress for a child depends on the accuracy of this measurement. When taking measurements of the volume of the head, the tape is carried out starting from the middle of the forehead, along the most protruding places. Taking measurements of the girth of the neck mainly takes place during individual tailoring of a thing in a workshop. When measuring the girth of the neck, the measuring tape is loosely wrapped around it.

The length of the sleeve

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

Leg length

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

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

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

• The size of a cap or hat is very simple to determine - you need to measure the circumference of the head with a measuring tape. The size of the headgear that is relevant for the age will exactly match the head circumference in centimeters.
• When it is important to use the tape with divisions correctly. It should not be loose or too tight.
• In the first 12 months of life, the head of the child increases by about 1 cm every month, so the headdress bought for a 3-month-old baby will become frankly small in 4-5 weeks.
• In boys and girls of infants, the head circumference (and, accordingly, the size of the headgear) may differ slightly.
• Significant deviations from the indicators in the table are an important reason to seek advice from a local pediatrician.

1. Measure the child's parameters (hips, chest, height) just before the purchase. Take measurements of the child wearing underwear. The accuracy of 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 demolish 5-6 sizes of clothes. Consider this when buying things for babies - the child will grow up quickly, so get the size "with a margin".
3. If possible, buy demi-season and winter sets of clothes only after trying on your child. The sizes of children's clothing up to a year are especially important to consider when purchasing separate warm overalls. The chosen model should be moderately free, not constrain the movement of the child, and not be too large. Jackets and coats allow a large flow of air with a margin, 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 height of your child - as a rule, clothes from France are "small" by 1 unit.
5. Germany and Italy produce clothes for children in the main "big size", so you can safely take a child a thing in size or smaller - if you plan to wear the purchased goods immediately after purchase.
6. Children's clothing from China often differs from the size grid in the smaller direction, so you should not trust it. If fitting is not possible (for example, when buying from an online store), contact the seller to clarify the specific dimensions of the item. Alternatively, you can specify the parameters of the child and select the appropriate size together with an online consultant.
7. American sizes often depend not only on the growth parameters of the child, but also on his gender. Therefore, manufacturers often indicate two different tables of clothing correspondence: for boys and girls. Also, US sizes differ from others in letter designation (this applies to the sizes of children over 2 years old).
8. European and Russian sizes are focused on growth, therefore, knowing the parameters of the child, it is not difficult to choose the right thing. However, the grid of clothing sizes from Europe is designed for larger babies - manufacturers are trying to make things for babies more free, not restricting movement. This should be taken into account when choosing models of children's trousers, dresses, etc.

Information about you can find in a special section of our website.

Let's talk about the sizes of children's clothing common in Russia. How to determine the size of children's clothing, what size scales are often found. This article will focus on blouses, pants, underwear, dresses, trousers, outerwear. Tables of sizes for other types of clothing and footwear can be found in this section.

Most of the Russian and European manufacturers of children's clothing mark clothes with a size corresponding to the child's height, or the height is indicated at the same time as the size. In children's stores, clothes are hung in accordance with the size of the height. The size grid for growth goes through 6 cm.

Sizes for babies in accordance with GOST, adopted in Russia, differ significantly from European standards. According to the Russian standard, a thinner child corresponds to a specific height, and in Europe they sew for the same height for more well-fed babies. For older kids, the size match is leveled. Most modern Russian manufacturers of children's clothing sew clothes for babies close to the average European standards, and it suits modern Russian babies, since our babies have become larger due to the use of vitamins by mothers, feeding babies with milk formulas and increased nutritional standards for babies.

Therefore, in order to choose the right Russian size, you should pay attention not only to the child's height, but mainly to the chest girth. The Russian scale of children's sizes is often found in undershirts, sliders, panties, T-shirts, white T-shirts, pajamas, home sweaters and pants. This table, consisting of three tables, will help you choose the right size:

For larger kids, the sizes are divided into sizes for girls and sizes for boys. Please note that the 30th size is small (see in the first table), and there is a teenage (see in the next two tables).

Girls size. Russia	30	32	34	36	38	40

Bust in cm	60	64	68	72	76	80
Waist in cm	54	56	60	62	62	63
Hip girth in cm	68	72	76	82	84	88

Boy size. Russia	30	32	34	36	38	40

Bust in cm	60	64	68	72	76	80
Waist in cm	54	57	60	63	65	68
Hip girth in cm	64	68	72	76	80-81	85

When choosing clothes for a baby, sewn according to Russian standards, look mainly at the girth of the chest, while a size that corresponds to a height of one or two sizes larger than the height of the child may turn out to be suitable. This is especially noticeable when choosing T-shirts and white T-shirts, which are sewn to a minimum chest circumference.

The Russian and European size scales can be very different for babies, but they are approaching for older children, where sizes for girls and boys begin to differ in one way or another for different manufacturers of children's clothing.

European scale of children's sizes based on the height of the child, but it is not unified for other sizes, each manufacturer adheres to its own scale, but approximately it corresponds to the sizes shown in the following two tables. According to the European size scale, both European manufacturers and the majority of Russian manufacturers of children's clothing are sewn. Outerwear, dresses, trousers, sweaters, T-shirts, undershirts, overalls, bodysuits, pajamas, underwear, etc. are sewn. When determining the European size, the main indicator is the height of the child. But when choosing trousers, shorts, pants and panties, pay attention to the additional sizes that are usually indicated on the label. Individual manufacturers give their own size scale on the label.

In reality, the range of sizes is such that a child can wear different clothes at the same time, for example, 86 and 110 sizes. But in most cases, the size corresponds to the height of the child. The two previous tables will help you choose the size by height, which indicate the correspondence of the height size and the real height of the child.

The peculiarity of outerwear (sets of winter and demi-season clothing) is that they are sewn quite spacious by all manufacturers. Manufacturers take into account that mothers will give their child more than one blouse. Therefore, it is better to measure it when buying outerwear. Often, when buying a set at the beginning of the season for the whole season, it may be just right for a smaller size than the size of blouses and dresses.

If you want to buy baby clothes as a gift and do not know the size, focus on the child's height. The approximate growth can be estimated from the tables above. In the toddler size tables, the last row shows the average age. Select the larger size when in doubt.

Children's size charts will also help you choose clothes for growth. In the first three months, babies add size on average every one and a half months. After three months to a year, babies grow in size every three months. Then, from one year to four years old, children add size on average every six months. Children after four years grow by one size in a year. Girls first grow faster than boys, and then boys overtake girls. During this period, especially, growth and complexion depend on heredity. Children grow faster in autumn, slower in spring.

How often have you been upset if clothes bought without first fitting turned out to be unsuitable for the child? It's still good when it's too big: children grow up! And if a little? Basically, such "mistakes" happen because the sizes of clothes from Russian and European manufacturers are designated differently. To understand this "clothing" issue will help the table of sizes of children's clothing.

Russian-made clothes

Russian manufacturers sew children's clothes in accordance with GOST. And, if the manufacturer is conscientious, and the declared Russian sizes correspond to reality, then it will be difficult to make a mistake with the size: they are based on metric data. And since it is easy to measure the circumference of the bust, waist and hips of a child, you can safely go shopping.

Sizes of children's clothing from Europe and the USA

How to determine the size of clothes for kids from European or American manufacturers? We offer you tables containing the correspondence of these sizes to Russian ones.

Until about 3-4 years old, the same clothing sizes are applicable to a child of any gender. When babies grow up, the difference in physique of girls and boys becomes already obvious, so it is better to use tables for gender separation.

You can take clothes one size larger: many manufacturers take into account the fact that babies are growing rapidly, and they sew blouses and pants, pajamas and jackets so that the thing looks great on the child with folded sleeves and legs.

As you can see, the size range of children's clothing from Russian and European manufacturers practically coincides, but there is a nuance: in Russia, GOST for children's clothing is designed for skinny children, while European clothing is more free.

Children's clothing from China

The main difference in the labeling of sizes of clothes for children of Russian and Chinese production is that in Russia the orientation is aimed at the growth of the child, and in China - by age. And since there is an overwhelming majority of Chinese products on our counters, it is worth knowing how Chinese sizes correspond to Russian ones. The Chinese size range is narrower than the domestic one. For example, for babies up to 12 months in Russia there are 6 sizes, and in China - only 4.

Sometimes on Chinese clothing you can find markings with the letter "T". Such clothes are intended for children over 2 years old: the number in front of the letter indicates the age in years: 2T - for a two-year-old, 3T - for a three-year-old, etc.

A few tips when choosing children's clothing:

• Clothing from France, as a rule, is small in size, so it is worth taking a product one size larger than you need.
• On the contrary, German and Italian things are larger: if you want the child to wear them immediately after purchase, you can take one size smaller.
• You should only trust the dimensional grid of things from China if it is "Factory China". Fakes are very often deceived with sizes up and down.
• When measuring a child's height, bust and hips, do so with a child wearing only underwear.
• For children under 3 years old, choose clothes made from natural fabrics and easy to put on: the simpler the fastener, the better.
• Wash even the items you just bought that are hermetically sealed before wearing! However, keep in mind that natural fabrics are susceptible to high temperatures, and if you are going to wash things in very hot water, take them one size larger!

What a variety of children's stores nowadays: at every step on the street and in the Internet! 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 big, but if it is small? To avoid such disappointment, you should be well-versed in two things. The first is the body parameters of the child 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. At the level of the top of the head, make a mark, 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, the older the child is, the more important the other metric indicators are for determining the size of children's clothing: 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 you find on the 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 young children, it is important to know only height and age, the rest of the measurements are needed already at an older age

Children's clothing from Russia

Domestic manufacturers are obliged to sew things in accordance with GOST. It is important to find honest manufacturers who really comply with the standards and carry out tailoring according to the declared Russian sizes. With such a manufacturer, you will not have any hassle. In fact, this is the only thing that matters when buying domestic items. Find the match between your child's parameters and size according to the table below and go for a good shopping!

Buying foreign things is associated with additional risks - you need not be mistaken with unfamiliar sizes. How to figure it out? As always, we are helped by a table of sizes of children's clothing, 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 to grow. Very cool, right? Children grow up so fast!

If the pants are a little too big, you can fold them

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 ones 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, 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 under one year old in China there are 4 sizes, and here - 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 is not an easy task, which can be dealt with using size charts.

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 shrink strongly in hot water.
