How to determine the size of something for your daughter

From a young age, girls want to look beautiful. Have fashionable outfits, be different from everyone else. So that your girlfriends will pay attention and envy. There are many different types of clothes in the little lady's wardrobe: sundresses, dresses, T-shirts, blouses. In recent years, the range has been expanding. 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.

Important. The girls' age does not always correspond to their height. That's why do not be alarmed if the measurements differ from the registry. Just round up.
