With a skirt, any look becomes feminine. Not all styles suit all girls equally. But many people want to follow fashion trends, so they select a model that does not fit in size and cut.
How to determine your skirt size?
Choosing the wrong size is one of the main mistakes when choosing a skirt. The narrow version will wrinkle on the sides, ride up, and twist. An overly large model looks baggy, creating the impression of sloppiness.
What measurements need to be taken:
- waist circumference at the narrowest point;
- hip circumference at the most protruding point.
It is better to take measurements with a centimeter tape. All excess clothing must be removed first, you need to remain in only underwear. It is important to tighten the tape tightly, but not tightly. Here a “golden” mean is observed. At the waist, choose the thinnest place. In the hips, the tape is applied to the most protruding place. After taking measurements, you need to compare the data with the table.
Important! When taking measurements, you need to relax to get accurate data.
Measurements must be taken in a standing position. The tape is kept parallel to the floor. It should not be pulled too tight. If you start tightening the ruler too much, you can get incorrect results.
In any case, before buying a skirt, you need to try it on. Even if a woman knows exactly her size, she can make a mistake. When trying on, you need to move, sit down, and look carefully in the mirror.. If the model completely satisfies the buyer, then you can safely purchase it.
size table
It is impossible to determine the size of a skirt without the corresponding table. There are several measurement systems: Russian, European and English. To work with mesh, you need to determine the waist and hip circumference in advance.
International size correspondences and differences between them
In today's world, online shopping is popular. In most cases, it is impossible to try on before purchasing. Many people prefer shopping abroad, but the grid there is significantly different, so after receiving the parcel you may be disappointed.
The American system involves using numbers from 0 to 30. In this case, double spacing is observed. To determine your size, you need to subtract the number “38” from Russian. For example, if in Russia a woman is 50, then in America she is 12.
Important! An ideally selected model is an opportunity to insert your hand between matter and body. If the palm fits freely, then you can safely buy such a skirt.
To work with the European system, you need to subtract 6 from the Russian size. So, with 50 in the domestic version, the European size is 44. It is more difficult to work with the international system, which uses letters.There is only one option here - compare your Russian with the correspondence table.
An example of determining the size of a skirt
Determining your skirt size is quite simple. First you need to measure the circumference of your hips and waist. For example, the first indicator is 80 cm, and the second is 106. The data must be compared with the table. We get the marking “50”.
Tips for a fashionista
The variety of skirts is quite wide. Models of different lengths and styles are presented, made of various materials. It is necessary to take into account your body shape when choosing, personal preferences and your own style.
The fabric should be practical. The best materials are cotton, linen and viscose for warm weather. In winter and autumn it is better to take a product made of tweed and wool. In order for the skirt to keep its shape better, the composition must contain synthetic additions. These options are easy to wash and do not wrinkle.
Tips for fashionistas:
- shoes are selected depending on the material of the skirt - for durable fabrics it is better to take massive boots, and for light fabrics you need to wear similar shoes;
- long models must be worn with high-heeled shoes, and short ones with flat-soled options;
- The office dress code requires tights with a skirt; this rule must be followed in any weather.
The length of the product depends on the age, shape and height of the woman. A correctly selected model can visually make a girl taller, thinner, and more feminine.
