New, fashionable models are being created: tunics, breeches. It’s impossible to list everything.

Mothers should take care not only of the appearance of their daughters, but also of their comfort and health. Small or large wardrobe items, ugly look. Tight dress at all won't fit on a child. Or it will compress internal organs. Will lead to health problems. Wide models look sloppy and can fly off the body.

To find out the size of something for a girl, you need to know a few measurements. The general size chart records age, height and chest circumference. These are the main important indicators.For some models, you also need to calculate the circumference of the waist, hips, and arm length. Let's try to learn how to measure our daughters.

Height. For definitions height you will need a pencil and a measuring device. A soft ribbon will do, but it is better to use a long tailor's meter. Or a special children's height meter that is attached to the wall. A height meter can be bought in children's stores. Parents sometimes attach a stadiometer to the wall so that they can periodically find out how many centimeters the child has grown.

If you don't have a stadiometer, use the old method. Place the girl near a flat wall. On the floor without carpet. Soft pile can distort growth. The child should stand straight, in a relaxed state. Don't spin or jump. Use a pencil to make a mark on the wall. Perpendicular to the back of the head. When your daughter moves away, draw the meter from the floor to the mark. Remember the growth number.

Chest circumference. The measurement is needed to purchase dresses, T-shirts, sweaters, and outerwear. Wrap a soft ribbon around the baby's chest and under the arms. If you are buying outerwear, put it on blouse If summer things — undress child or leave it in the underwear.

Waist circumference. This can also be clarified using tape. In little girls, the waist can be determined visually. Since it has not yet been formed. Daughters over 10 years old already have the thinnest place on their body. Wrap the tape around this area.

Hip girth. The parameters of a child’s hips are necessary for purchasing trousers, school uniforms, and outerwear. Hip line — these are the most prominent points on the body. Below the waist.

The length of the sleeve. This measure is not recorded in the table. But you need to know it if you choose things with sleeves. You need to measure the length from a point in the middle of the shoulder, along the elbow, to the wrist. Wherein It is recommended to bend your arm at the elbow.Otherwise, the sleeve will be short.

Try to write down your daughter's measurements. Remember everything impossible. But you can take a quick look. Once you know your height and chest circumference, look at the size chart. If a girl is ten years old 132 cm girth chest 67 cm. These parameters are close to Russian size 36. Try to round up. According to American labeling, your standard is S.

Boys are less picky about clothes than girls. But there are also many stores for them and a large selection of new items for the wardrobe. Sweatshirts, trousers, sweatshirts. Fashion designers don't offend boys. They create wonderful collections. Nowadays appliques and prints on T-shirts with cartoon characters are fashionable.

Bright colors have also become fashionable for boys. Previously, they only wore subdued colors. In recent years, even teenagers will not refuse salad or yellow. Any thing should be great «sit», be comfortable, fit in size.

Basic measurements — height, age and breasts. But you also need to take into account the size of your waist, hips, and arm length. For example, buying trousers, shorts, and outerwear requires knowledge of these parameters.

Height. Mothers always know their son's height. They are measured in clinics and schools.But there is no need to rely on an indicator with a statute of limitations. Children grow up quickly. That's why It’s better to calculate your height before purchasing new things. The child should stand near the wall on the floor. With an even body position, in a relaxed state.

If your son is small, plays around and can’t stand still, turn the measurements into a game. Or, offer him an encouraging sweet. And, he will happily stand for a minute. Use a pencil to mark on the wall where the back of your head ends. Then, measure the distance from tags to the floor.

Chest circumference. Boys' chests are measured by passing a measuring tape under the arms. If your son is active, you can carefully take measurements while he sleeps.

Waist circumference. Boys rarely wear clothes around their waists. But, when buying pants, you need this value. For boys, the waist is where the elastic band goes through the panties. Just above the hips. Wrap the tape around this area.

Hip girth. Hip line — the widest part of the body. Visually identify a line a few centimeters below the abdomen. Along the protruding points of the butt.

The length of the sleeve. It is also rarely required, and this indicator is not in the table. But parents need to be able to take such measurements. Place your son straight. Ask to raise either arm and bend it at the elbow. Using a tape, measure from shoulder to wrist.

After determining the parameters, carefully look at the table. In addition to Russian standards, it includes markings of European, English and American companies. After establishing the Russian size, they can be recognized without difficulty.
