Many people are faced with the problem of determining their exact size of clothing, and even more often transferring it to other measuring systems. For example, you know your Russian size, but do not know how to convert it to the European or American size system. Most of the difficulties are associated with determining the XL size, since its values require a certain accuracy of measurements.

Instructions
Step 1
International size XL corresponds to Russian size 52-54. If you are in doubt whether you have correctly determined your Russian size, then some measurements should be taken. Take a centimeter and measure your bust, waist and hips. The chest and hips should be measured by grasping the most prominent points of the body. The waist must be measured without tightening the centimeter, so that the index finger can easily be inserted between the body and the measuring tape.
Step 2
After you have received the measurement results, you need to use the Russian size table. Finding such a table is quite simple on the Internet, and similar tables are often printed in popular women's magazines. The table is very easy to use. As a rule, there are four columns in the table: 1 - clothing size, 2 - chest girth, 3 - waist girth, 4 - hips. The values you received need to be substituted in the appropriate columns, then you will know your size. For example, size XL (Russian 52-54) corresponds to the following values: chest - 103-108, waist - 86-91, hips - 109-113.
Step 3
If your size is XL, and you want to know what values will correspond to it in the American system of sizes, then you need to measure in addition to the girth of the chest, waist, hips, and also height. If your height is from 161.5 cm to 188 cm, then you need to use the size chart for girls of tall and regular height. In this table, the following values correspond to the international size XL: chest - 103-110, waist - 82-90, hips - 109-117. If your height is from 150 cm to 160 cm, then use the size chart for girls of small stature. Here, XL corresponds to slightly different parameters: chest - 101-109, waist - 81-89, hips - 108-115.
