3. The length of the sleeve is measured along the back of the arm, bent at the elbow at a right angle.
4. Waist circumference is the line passing above the navel at the narrowest point of the torso.
5. The circumference of the hips is determined by wrapping a measuring tape around the protruding places of the buttocks.
6. When buying trousers, you need to know the length of the inseam on the inside of the leg - from the crotch to the line of the end of the trousers.
7. Height is measured from the top of the head to the base of the feet. This is done by standing with your back to the wall, resting your heels against it from below.

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.

But the table shows average values ​​for sizes; it is necessary to take into account the child’s physique. For example, if a child’s height is normal, but his chest volume is larger, it is better to buy clothes a size larger.

It is also worth considering the patterns of each manufacturer. For example, it is believed that many American clothing brands for children sew rather wide models, but there are exceptions. The popular brand GAP makes clothes for slim body types.

Starting from adolescence in girls, correspondence tables should be used with caution. For some girls, despite matching height, clothes from children's lines are selectively suitable due to the appearance of breasts and rounded hips. It also happens that a teenager’s height is much higher than average for his age. And children's models are not always to the taste of a teenager.
