It appears that everything is easy to understand. For women’s jackets, there are standard size tables that are based on the waist, chest, and hip measurements of the body. They are used by all manufacturers to create clothing. But theoretically only. In actuality, it frequently occurs that the typical size suddenly does not fit for an unidentified reason.

How to take measurements

Starting with the measurements, you must provide us with the information we need to determine your size based on the correspondence table. particularly if the outerwear is made in a foreign nation rather than Russia.

All you need to know to calculate your Russian size is the chest circumference (CB), divided by two. Round up if the amount is not a whole number. We’ll be this size. CB, for instance, is 100 cm. So, you must purchase a size 50.

Place the tape measure behind your back, roughly under your shoulder blades, to get your chest circumference. Join the ends of the tape measure, extending it under the arms and along the part of the chest that sticks out the most. You should always select the larger breast volume indicator if it is impossible to tell which size it corresponds to.

You can also measure the volume of the waist and hips to help you choose a jacket on a style and size that is more accurate. Additionally, some models are introduced through expansion. You must measure your growth from the top of the top to the heels in order to do this.

When selecting the appropriate size, the sleeve’s length is also important. From the middle of the hand to the shoulder, measure the length of the arm. The product’s sleeve should not come close to the carpal joint, according to standard practice.

Measuring over the sweater, light sweater, and other clothing that will be worn under the jacket is preferable to ensure that the new item does not end up being too small and constricted.

Female forms are distinctive: they are tall but not overly so, slender, and possess exquisite forms. Additionally, this must be considered. Sometimes additional details need to be clarified in order for the item to fit properly and take into account the figure’s features. For instance, it is advised that women whose growth is less than 150 cm measure from neck to waist as well.

It’s important to remember that women’s jackets come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including loose, fitted, and oversized styles. Standardized tables do not account for all of these features.

Ladies with broad shoulders should purchase jackets one size larger, according to stylists. Conversely, one size smaller with narrow shoulders.

If you are selecting a jacket with a rigid, form-fitting style, you can determine by touch whether or not this size is appropriate. The model is chosen based on size if you give yourself a hug and the jacket does not budge.

Sizes of women"s jackets in different countries

The correspondence tables make it easy to figure out what products from American or European manufacturers will fit if you know your Russian size. Size correspondence tables can be used to accomplish this by converting the domestic size to an international size or to the size that is approved in a specific nation.

How the size of women"s jackets is determined in Europe

European nations will use a different numerical system to indicate clothing sizes than do Russian, English, and American nations. The three fundamental body measurements—chest, waist, and neck—that add up to a specific number that represents the model size are taken into consideration during construction. These range from 32 to 50 in France and Germany and from 6 to 22 in England.

It is advised to take measurements two or three times in order to obtain accurate numbers. Don’t tighten the tape measure too much if you want accurate data.

When selecting women’s jackets from European manufacturer catalogs, there’s no need to convert the results because measurements are taken in centimeters in Europe. The majority of EU manufacturers operate in accordance with the European system of jacket sizing.

You can convert a jacket’s size from any other size system to the European one, or the other way around, with the aid of a size conversion table.

How the size of women"s jackets is determined in the USA

American size designation systems are not comparable to those of Russia, other countries, or Europe. American manufacturers utilize numbers to represent sizes for women’s jackets, starting at 0 and based on the fundamental criteria of chest volume and waist circumference.

Additionally, adult clothing is labeled with even numbers, while sportswear and teen clothing are labeled with odd numbers. In addition, models for small people are marked with the letter "P," and models for tall people are marked with the letter "L." The "W" symbol appears on jackets that fit big sizes.

When sewing garments, American producers of branded apparel adhere closely to the national size chart.

The measurement system in the USA is in inches, which is another distinction. Therefore, you must convert them to centimeters in order to determine what Russian size a model from a catalog with linear dimensions in inches corresponds to.

We use 2.54 centimeters, or one American (English) inch, as our base of calculation. In this instance, we multiply the inches-measured hip and waist circumferences by 2.54 cm. The same parameters’ values are obtained in centimeters.
