How to convert American clothing sizes to Russian (women's/men's/children's). Table

How to determine your parameters and find the right clothes?

A product exists as long as there is demand for it - this is a well-known axiom for all Russian businessmen. And this applies directly to children's clothing. The US children's size table differs significantly from our grid not only in designations, but also in parameters

. But, despite the difference in measurements, clothes and shoes for children are needed in every country, not just in the USA, and people have to find a compromise. Experienced clothing store sellers are learning to translate American clothing sizes into Russian for children, their parents and caring relatives.

The correspondence between US and Russian sizes for children's clothing can be determined using special tables.

For preschool children, when ordering clothes online, for example, on Aliexpress or similar sites, you need to indicate not only height, but also chest, waist or hip circumference, depending on the product you are going to purchase.

If your child is over six or seven years old, you need to decide on a line of American clothing sizes for children. In Europe, the designation grid differs (third option) from the American and Russian ones - there are children's and adult options. Clothes for children from the USA are divided into the following groups:

• For babies. Height + chest girth – the main parameters. The designation “M” comes from the English month, i.e. months, or with numbers from 42 to 88. For a child aged from birth to three months, a children's suit from 43 to 58 centimeters is suitable. A romper or vest for a height of 58 to 65 centimeters is suitable for a child of three to six months. Next in the US line of measurements is the age of 6-9 months, and it corresponds to the numbers 67-72. For one-year-old babies there are children's overalls with a height of 72-77. The next two points of the grid are for ages 1.5 and 2 years, height 77-82 and 82-88 centimeters, respectively.
• For preschoolers. Height + weight. In the USA they are designated by the letters T, X, S. Remember that the same letters do not indicate that the measurements match. 2T, 3T,4T, less often 4.5T - here the numbers serve as an indicator of the child’s age. Special tables indicate the appropriate height and weight. If the weight is more than specified, and the height corresponds, it is better to take a larger item. XXS, XS, X/S – denoting five, six and six-seven years.
• For schoolchildren. This includes primary school age and adolescence (up to 14 years). Please note that US children's clothing sizes are different for boys and girls.
• For young people. This is a separate line that combines children's and adult styles. As for sizes, in the USA adult marks are used, in Europe - children's marks, with the addition of an X.

Most often, young mothers are faced with the problem of choice, less often - fathers who have just acquired their own child, but experienced parents are not lagging behind them in this regard. Modern moms and dads, in search of the right thing, will quickly convert American sizes of children's clothing into Russian ones, using the help of the Internet or “calling mom.” But what if there is neither one nor the other?

US children's size chart on Aliexpress

Clothes for kids on AliExpress are not accompanied by any dimensional alphanumeric designations - you only have to focus on age. The products have a clear purpose: for children up to three months, 4–6, 7–9, 10–12 months. This is how the sizes are indicated for all children under 2 years old. But such a decision cannot be considered complete, since children of the same age may differ from each other in weight and height.

Therefore, you need to measure the height, weight and chest circumference of your child, and a special table will allow you to choose the most suitable clothes for his parameters:

So we see that to fit the size "3-6 months." the child needs to weigh from 5.5 to 7.5 kg, be 61–66 cm tall, and his chest circumference should be approximately 43–45.5 cm. Pay attention to each of these parameters when choosing clothes for your baby, not limited by age standard.

If, for example, your hero is 5 months old, but his parameters are closer to the category of 6–9 months, then priority should be given to size “6–9” so as not to purchase clothes that are too small. And children at this age grow very quickly, which should not be overlooked. The shipment will arrive at your address about a month after purchasing the clothes, and by this time the child may simply outgrow them.

What is needed to determine the required designation?

Regardless of where you are going to purchase the product - at the market, in a store, in a boutique or via the Internet in America or China, you need to take measurements in advance. For babies whose age has not yet reached two years, it is necessary to measure their height. Russian children's size for such babies is measured precisely according to this indicator; in the USA, weight is often also needed. Sometimes, in addition to height, age is also indicated on a child’s tag. Selecting items based on age is not a good idea because everyone's development is different. And a child a year can wear something that is designed for one and a half or two years - take this into account when choosing things.

Children's clothing size chart

Many parents would like their children to look stylish and fashionable; for this, the sizes of children's clothing are important, but it is not always possible to try things on. Different parts of the world have their own measurement scale, and at the moment it is quite difficult to establish uniform sizes for children's clothing. In Russia, European countries and the USA, there is a difference between the designations: - in Russia and France, the height of the child is very often indicated on clothes; - American sizes of children's clothing are indicated by numbers, which are very difficult to understand so easily; - in some European countries, sizes are simply indicated in Latin letters. But even the same numbers on clothing labels from different countries can correspond to completely different sizes. For example, buy clothes from France one size larger, since they run small; clothes from Germany, Italy and Denmark should be bought one size smaller, since they most often run a size or even one and a half larger. If you are in doubt about the choice of clothing, look at the size tables for children's clothing, or better yet, consult the seller.

An approximate size chart for children's clothing is given below.

How to consult with the seller about choosing a size on Aliexpress?

All the most experienced Aliexpress users try not to look at the tables, reviews and questions in the mobile application. They immediately go to the seller for advice. And this is the right approach. Firstly, how could anyone other than the seller himself have a better understanding of the clothing sizing chart? Secondly, after consultation, responsibility for choosing the correct size falls on the store. If he makes a mistake and chooses the wrong clothes, then you simply open a dispute and demand your money. In addition, Aliexpress has done everything possible to facilitate communication between buyer and seller. For example, you don’t need to look for a form to contact a store using a separate link or in a distant section. It is located on the pages with each product. You can find it on the left, slightly below the main product description. It looks like this.

If you do not speak English, you will first have to write a message in an online translator, and then copy it into the form in the desired language. This is done due to the fact that on Aliexpress it is customary to communicate in English. If you write in Russian, most likely the seller will translate it perfectly, but there is still a chance that he will not understand everything. There are exceptions to all rules. In our case, this includes all products from the Aliexpress Mall section. Only those stores that have their own warehouses in Russia are presented here. This gives several advantages at once: faster delivery, no problem in case of a return, and most importantly for us in this case, Russian-language support. In your question, you must state your request and give all available measurements. If you have wishes about how the item should fit on the child, it is worth indicating them too. Then all you have to do is wait, although not as long as in the case of a mobile application. If we are talking about a large store, with a large number of products, promotions and offers, then most likely you will receive your consultation within a few hours. Sometimes such stores do not have a separate employee at all, whose only responsibility is to communicate with customers. If you happen to be during his working hours, you will receive your advice online.

Then you can safely place your order. As we have already said, responsibility for the correct size now lies with the seller. If you don’t want to waste time communicating with the store, you can do it a little differently. You simply place an order, and then indicate in the comments to it all the parameters known to you. Do not forget to ask the seller to send you the right size in those cases if you still make a mistake when choosing. Each store will be happy to fulfill your request. As a result, you get children's clothing in the size you need without wasting your time talking to the store.

How to check the size based on reviews on Aliexpress?

On Aliexpress, size 2t is not very common. This size range is gradually changing next to others. However, if you choose, for example, tights or socks, then you may encounter such a designation. To choose such clothes, you don’t need to know several exact parameters of the child’s body, so you can choose the size of clothes even without using a table and reviews will help us with this. In general, reviews on Aliexpress are a very valuable resource. Sometimes you can force sellers to pay compensation for a low-quality product simply by promising to write an extremely negative review. Conversely, a positive report can be exchanged for an additional discount. For buyers, reviews are the main tool when choosing any product. Only by looking at them can one understand its real quality and appearance. In the case of clothes, reviews can even tell you how they behave during the washing process. If there are too many reviews for a product or they are mostly negative, your best bet is to refuse the purchase. Moreover, you shouldn’t make any decisions if you haven’t looked at the reviews at all. How to choose size 2t on Aliexpress using reviews? Firstly, this is only possible with products that do not require a lot of measurements. Secondly, to find valuable information, there must be enough reviews for the product. You just need to go through several reviews, looking for those among them that indicate at least approximate parameters, as below.

Among such reports, you may eventually find reports where the measurements will be the same as yours. If the first buyer is satisfied with everything, you can simply repeat the choice after him. Note that in this case you don't even have to look at the table.
