Size 74 80 at what age. Children's clothing sizes by age

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).

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.

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.

Children's clothing size chart (Russia, Europe, China, USA)

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.

Children's clothing size chart according to metric parameters

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?

Growth

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.

Baby Underwear Size Chart

For girls

For boys

• 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.

Children's headwear size chart

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.
