Correspondence of letter designations with numbers
There are several generally accepted size markings: Russian, European and American. The international letter designation system is usually used.
In order to decide what size SML is, let’s say right away that the letter designation represents the first letter of the corresponding English word:
- S – Small (small);
- M – Middle;
- L- Large (large).
The letter X (extra) can mean very small (XS) or, on the contrary, very large (HL).

T-shirt sizes by letter
It is quite easy to get confused about T-shirt sizes, since different countries have their own digital designations, which differ from each other quite a bit. To get rid of confusion, international designations were invented, which are indicated on the label in Latin letters.
Height (cm) | Bust volume | Russian designations | Letter size |
170 | 86–89 | 44 | XXS |
173 | 90–93 | 46 | XS |
176 | 94–97 | 48 | S |
179 | 98–101 | 50 | M |
182 | 102–105 | 52 | L |
184 | 106–109 | 54 | XL |
186 | 110–113 | 56 | 2XL |
188 | 114–117 | 58 | 3XL |
189 | 118–121 | 60 | 3XL |
191 | 122–125 | 62 | 3XL |
193 | 126–129 | 64 | 4XL |
194 | 130–133 | 66 | 4XL |
196 | 134–137 | 68 | 5XL |
198 | 138–141 | 70 | 5XL |
Please note that one letter designation is equal to several Russian parameters, for example, 4XL is equal to both size 64 and 66. In order not to guess what parameters a particular designation has, check with the seller for the decoding of the size.
Sizing charts for children's clothing
The size of children's clothing by age, height, volume also differs depending on the country - different countries have their own line. In particular, the sizes of children's clothing up to one year in Europe, the USA and domestic stores do not categorically coincide, and this must be taken into account when buying new clothes for babies in order to choose the ideal wardrobe.
Europe (EU) | 28 | 30 | 32 | 34 | 36 | 38 | 40 | 42 |
USA (US) | 1 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 9 | 11 | 13 | 15 |
Ukraine | 3 | 5 | 7 | 9 | 11 | 13 | 15 | 17 |
Where to buy
With all the wealth of choice offered in fashion boutiques and stores, choosing clothes for a petite figure is not easy. Minimum sizes cannot be found everywhere. But if you use simple recommendations, you will be able to choose clothes in small sizes and highlight your figure. Where to buy small items:
- specialized online stores. The websites offer a fairly extensive selection of products, but you should study the size markings on the products in detail;
- sew clothes to order by contacting a professional atelier. This is an ideal option; when sewing, all the features and nuances of a miniature figure are taken into account;
- visit a fashion boutique with a wide selection of products. Clothing in medium and large sizes sells out faster, so you have a chance to pick up smaller items at a good price.
Alternatively, you can look for suitable clothes in stores for teenagers. Only when choosing products should you give preference to neutral outfits without childish motifs. Dresses of a simple cut look impressive on petite ladies; do not get carried away with massive accessories, baggy things, or shoes with very high heels. Knowing exactly your own body parameters, choosing products of the minimum size from domestic and foreign manufacturers will not be difficult.

Men's T-shirt sizes depending on height
Please note that the size of a T-shirt can also be determined by a man’s height. Such measurements may be required if you are purchasing a product from a foreign manufacturer or simply do not have the opportunity to measure your chest circumference. Also, similar comparisons will be required if you have a non-standard figure.
Height (cm) | Size |
170 | 44 |
173 | 46 |
176 | 48 |
179 | 50 |

194 | 66 |
196 | 68 |
198 | 70 |
Please take into account that the height measurement is determined taking into account an error of +3 cm. In this case, the number that corresponds to the measurement, but does not exceed it, is selected from the table.

How to buy T-shirts from China
When ordering clothes from Chinese product sites, such as AliExpress and Joom, be careful. The fact is that Chinese manufacturers sew products for a compact figure, trying them on compact models. Popularly, such T-shirts are called “small size”.
In order not to make a mistake with your purchase, look at the characteristics of the product. Perhaps, in addition to the alphabetic or digital index, there will be actual measurements of the product. If there is no such information, take the product a couple of sizes larger or use the table of Chinese sizes corresponding to domestic ones.
Russian designations | Height (cm) | Chinese size |
46–48 | Up to 170 | S–M |
48–50 | 170–176 | M–L |
50–52 | 176–182 | L–XL |
52–54 | 182–188 | XL–XXL |
54–56 | From 188 | XXL |
Feedback from customers who have already received their product also helps determine the size of the T-shirt you need. Always pay attention to them, perhaps someone will tell you about the suitability of the T-shirt you have chosen with a similar body type and parameters.

Fullness of the foot
Fullness is the circumference of the foot at its widest toe (as shown in the figure). Digital numbering is used in Russian, American and European systems.
Many people prefer not to determine their foot fullness, because for most people it falls within the standard foot size in cm, and they usually adhere to the following standard values (American scale, the same as the English one):
B – narrow fullness of the foot, D – medium, standard fullness of the foot, E – slightly fuller than average fullness, EE – wide, full foot.
You can determine your foot fullness using a very simple formula:
W = 0.25 B – 0.15 C – A
Where:
W – desired fullness number, B – girth in bundles in mm, C – foot length in mm, A – constant coefficient determined from the table:
Shoe type | Size | Completeness | A |
Women's | 21–27,5 | 1–12 | 16 |
Men's | 24,5–30,5 | 1–12 | 17 |
Measure the circumference of the foot at the widest point of the toe and the length of the foot using a centimeter. After this, simple calculations are carried out using the formula. For example, you are a man, your foot length is 220 mm, girth 205 mm, we calculate: 205 × 0.25 = 51.25 minus 220 × 0.15 = 33 minus 17. Total 1.25. Therefore, your completeness according to the Russian system is 1.
Then, if you need leg fullness data in another country’s system, you can use the table we posted above. The American system for measuring the fullness of shoes is almost identical to the English one.
How not to make a mistake when choosing clothes
Despite the fact that there is a generally accepted table of sizes S M L, the size of clothing from different manufacturers can vary significantly. Sometimes it happens that the winter collection will be more complete than the summer collection from the same brand. Please note that a product may be manufactured for a specific country's market, which may use a different metric system.
To be sure, it is better to use not average data, but size tables of the brand whose clothes you are going to buy.
This information can usually be found on the manufacturer's website.
The surest way to avoid making mistakes when buying clothes is to try on the item in a brand store. If you plan to purchase clothes in an online store, then the right thing to do is to visit a real retail outlet and try on several items of the chosen brand.
If you summarize the data, you will get a summary table of the correspondence between the size range of women's and men's clothing.
Glove sizing
Determining your glove size is not at all difficult - all you need is a regular measuring tape, colloquially called a “centimeter”. The size of gloves is determined by such a parameter as hand size. More precisely, the girth of the palm (see figure) - just measure its volume without the thumb, slightly tightening the tape, and then determine your size using the table we have given below. Please note that in this case it makes no difference whether we want to buy men's gloves or women's gloves.

What is the smallest bra size?
The bra is another unique piece of clothing. Its sizes are different from other clothes. The bra size is determined by the circumference of the chest and the line under the bust:
- Bra size is a letter and a number.
- The number is the circumference under the bust, and the number is the difference between the circumference of the chest line and under the bust.
- The smallest bra size is 70 AA (0) .
Here is a table for determining bra size:
Bra size chart
Important: Even knowing your bra size and cup depth is not a guarantee of purchasing the right size. This is all due to the fact that the material of the bra can either reduce body parameters or change them in the direction of increase.
Therefore, if you like to purchase underwear on the Internet, then order bras from already proven brands whose products you have purchased repeatedly. Knowing the manufacturer's size, material and model, you will definitely buy what you need.
