They are in no way similar in concept to the EN 13402 European clothing labelling standard. Body measurements below are given in inches. Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Women’s sizes 2.1 Overview 2.2 Details 3 Men’s sizes 4 Girls’ sizes 5 Boys’ sizes 6 Children’s sizes 7 Baby sizes 8 Conversion from catalog sizes 9 See also 10 References [edit]History Men’s standard sizes were probably developed first during the American Revolutionary War, and they were in regular use by the American army during the War of 1812 for ready-made uniforms (Felsenthal 2012). These were based on the chest measurement, with other measurements being assumed to be either proportional (the circumference of the neck, waist, hips, and thighs) or easily altered (length of the inseam) (Felsenthal 2012). As this was largely successful in men, the same approach was attempted in the early 20th century for women using the bust as the sole measurement (Felsenthal 2012). However, this proved unsuccessful because women’s bodies have far more variety in shape. The hourglass figure is frequently used as an industry standard, but only 8% of women have this body shape (Felsenthal 2012). A woman with an hourglass figure and a woman with an apple-shaped figure who have the same bust size will not have the same waist or hip sizes. This was a significant problem for mail-order companies, and several attempts at predictable, standard sizing were made (Felsenthal 2012). In the 1940s, the statisticians Ruth O’Brien and William Shelton received a Works Progress Administration a grant to conduct the most ambitious effort to solve this problem. Their team measured almost 15,000 women across the US. After discovering the complex diversity of women’s actual sizes, which produced five to seven different body shapes, they proposed a three-part sizing system. Each size would be the combination of a single number, representing an upper body measurement, plus an indicator for height (short, regular, and long) and an indication for girth (slim, regular, and stout). The various combinations of height and girth resulted in nine different sizes for each numerical upper-body measurement, which was highly impractical for manufacturing (Felsenthal 2012). As a result, O’Brien and Shelton’s work was rejected. In 1958, the National Bureau of Standards invented a new sizing system, based on the hourglass figure and using only the bust size to create an arbitrary standard of sizes ranging from 8 to 38, with an indication for height (short, regular, and tall) and lower-body girth (plus or minus). The standard was not widely popular, and was declared voluntary in 1970 and withdrawn entirely in 1983. In 1995, ASTM International, published its own voluntary standard, which has been revised since then (Felsenthal 2012). It has not been widely adopted. [edit]Women’s sizes Women’s sizes are divided into various types, depending on height. These charts give an indication of size only and are by no means exact as they vary from manufacturer to manufacturer – sometimes by a full inch up and down.

However “taller-than-average” women may find their size-height addressed by manufacturers less frequently, and may often find themselves facing issues of slightly too short pant legs and sleeve cuffs, as well as waist lengths.

You need to take four essential measurements: Base of the neck Chest, under the arms Waistline Sleeve You can find out your shirt size with the measurements provided in the chart above. To take the measurements, you’ll need a measuring tape and a notepad. Place the tape flat and keep your posture straight while taking measurements. Remember to measure in inches to match the men’s shirt sizing. Neck Size: Place the tape around the thickest section of your neck. Chest Size: Keep your arms by your sides and place one end of the tape at the center of your neck, at the back. Come till the shoulder, then the elbow, and all the way to the wrist. Waist Size: Stand straight and circle the tape around your natural waistline. Hold the tape slightly loose; don’t tighten the grip. Sleeve Size: Keep your arms relaxed at your sides and slightly bent. Measure from the center of the back of your neck till your shoulder and entire length of the arm. The illustrations, chart, and sizing guide given above provide you with measurements for the U.S. standard men’s clothing sizes. Once you know your proper size, shopping for shirts can become simpler.

Then again, don’t you want to be flattered more by “permissible sizing” when you pay a premium price and are waited on in person?

Thanks 04 October 2011 09:21 Show all comments What’s your number: Tips for reading size charts Top ArticleAll Articles 1 of 1 by Kimberley Heit Created on: February 21, 2013 Most fashion brands have their own set of size charts that provide suggested body measurements for their clothing range. These size charts give the buyer invaluable clues about the fit of the brands clothing, particularly if you are shopping online and unable to try anything on. There are a few things worth being mindful of when reading size charts, read on for several tips on reading size charts. Three tips for reading size charts: Note the difference between the bust, waist and hip measurements The bust, waist and hips measurements not only denote what measurements these areas of the body need to be for the clothes to fit you, but what kind of body shape is ideally suited to the clothes. For example, a fairly standard size range typically has a difference of 5 centimeters between the bust and hips, with the hip measurement being bigger. And the waist measurement is typically 20 centimeters less than bust measurement. This is because many women are bigger in the hips than they are in the bust and often have quite a defined waistline. Some other brands have different differences between these measurements. For example, some allow even more in the hip area, others have an equal hip and bust measurement and some allow more room in the waist. Reading size charts to identify these differences can help you to find the brands that best fit your body type. For example, if you have big hips, look for brands that offer a larger hip to bust difference you are likely to find clothes that suit you better. Be honest with yourself When buying clothes, it can be tempting to buy a size based on vanity over reality, but this is only likely to end up leaving you disappointed, as the consequence of this action is often a pile of clothes that do not fit. If you want your clothes to fit well, you need to be honest with yourself when taking your measurements and lining them up with a size chart. If you are really worried about the perception a certain number on a tag creates, cut the tag out. Always note how the brand suggests you measure yourself and follow these instructions accordingly. If you have trouble doing this impartially, yourself ask someone else to take your measurements. Ask yourself whether the size chart is big or small Some brands are more generous than others when it comes to sizing. Take a look at how the size chart stacks up overall. Are the sizes big or small? If you fit a particular size, there is nothing stopping you from buying an item, but generally brands are aimed at particular audiences and therefore often end up fitting these people best. For example, small-fitting brands tend to work best on smaller people, because the other areas of the garment they do not provide measurements are often geared to a small frame. For example the neck, wrists and arms. Learn more about this author, Kimberley Heit. Click here to send this author comments or questions.

Tel: +86 5942216283 E-mail: sales@wholesale-in-china.com The only way to ensure perfect fit when you can’t try it on is to know your measurements. So grab a tape measure and a buddy and take those measurements: What you’ll need – A cloth tape measure and a full length mirror. Take measurements undressed or in lightweight clothes. Pull the tape measure snug, but not too tight. Keep your arms at your side and have a friend take the measurements, for the best results. And don’t slouch! Stand up nice and tall. Bust Measure around the shoulder blades, under the armpits and over the fullest part of the bust. Waist Find your natural waistline and measure. Hip Measure the fullest part of the hip (usually about 7-9 inches below the waist) Bra Size 1. Wear a comfortable bra and measure the rib cage just below the breast. If the number is 33 or less, add 5 inches to that number and that is your bra size. Over 33 inches add 3 inches to get you bra size. Both ways, rounding odd numbers up to even. 2. Then take measure the bust around the fullest part. When you subtract the last number (fullest part) by the among of your bra size, you’ll come up with a number used to determine cup size by using the chart below (the A,B,C, etc. cup chart) For example if your bra size was 36 and your cup measurement was 38, the difference is 2″ so you would wear a 36B. Use this chart: AA = 1/2″ A = 1″ B = 2″ C = 3″ D = 4″ DD or E = 5″ F = 6″ G = 7″ Hats Measure above the ears about 1/2″ around the forehead. Gloves With hand partially closed, measure over the knuckles, around the hand, excluding the thumb. Tips -UK sizes may seem the same as U.S. women’s, but are generally about a size smaller (a U.S. 8 is about a UK 10) To find your European size, you can add 30 to your size. A U.S. 6 is a Euro 36. Always refer to size charts for fit! Use this conversion tool to find your size. -When buying vintage clothing, be aware that the sizes have changed drastically over the years. Consult Fashion-Era.com for good vintage sizing tips. -If it’s cotton, it’s going to shrink. Add anywhere from 1/3″ to 3/4″ extra to compensate. Some makers count potential shrinkage into the size already. When in doubt — ask a customer service person. -Many manufacturers or stores may have their own special fit and size tips. It’s a good idea to consult any additional information. -Get a great tailor, because no matter how closely you order your size, it’s still not custom made.

Online Shopping Tips Leave a reply This informational page is created to help you to order safely when shopping online. You’ll find online shopping fast, hassle free and opens up a whole new world of products and services for you and your family. Go through the topics below to find a smarter, safer way to shop online. Secure Internet Connections Industry has developed technology that can scramble sensitive information, such as your credit card number, so that it can be read only by the merchant you are dealing with and your credit card issuer. This ensures that your payment information cannot be read by anyone else or changed along the way. There are several ways to determine if you have that protection when you are sending payment information on the web. Look for the picture ofLook the unbroken key or closed lock in your browser window. Either one indicates that the security is operative. A broken key or any open lock indicates it is not. Deal only with those web address which begins with “https:” instead of “http.” Phone-In Option Would you rather give your credit card information over the phone? Many web merchants allow you to order online and give your credit card information over the phone. If you do this, make a note of the phone number, company, the date and time of your call, and the name of the person who recorded your credit card number. Passwords Do you use different passwords? Passwords are required at various stages of computer use and web shopping to help assure that someone is not misusing your computer or personal information. If you use a password to log on to your network or computer, use a different password for orders. Some web sites may require you to create a password for future orders. You may want to create a special password for particularly sensitive sites, such as your home banking site. How did you choose your password? The best passwords are not your address, birth date, phone number, recognizable words, or even your pet’s name (which might be guessed by someone who has other information about you.). Choose a string of at least five letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. One easy way to create a memorable password is to take the first letter of each word in an expression or song lyric, and add some numbers and punctuation marks. For example, “tmottobg!5″ is derived from a line in “Take Me Out To The Old Ball Game.” How should you record your password? Don’t write down any password near your computer where someone could see it or carry it in your purse or billfold. If you do record it somewhere, reverse the order of the characters or transpose some letters or numbers. That way, someone finding it won’t have discovered your true password. Who wants to know your password or other identifying information? Be very careful about responding to an e-mail, phone call, fax, or letter from anyone who asks for your password(s), social security number, birth date, bank account, credit card number, mother’s maiden name, or other personal information. Sellers and financial institutions do not ask you for such information unless you are entering into a transaction with them. Identity thieves make up emails that look remarkably like real websites. If you receive an inquiry for personal information, do not reply directly. To verify that the person contacting you really does work for the seller, call and request to speak to that person directly You should only have to provide your password to get to your online account, and you should not give your credit card number except when you are actually placing an order. And you should only give your password and credit card number in a secure connection on a web site, not in ordinary e-mail. Payment You may save money by using a credit card if you pay it off in full when the bill arrives. If you do this instead of paying the seller immediately, you will have the money in your bank account, earning interest, until your credit card bill for those payments comes due. Remember that if you pay only the required minimum amount and leave the balance unpaid, you will have to pay interest (which will be called “finance charge” on your bill). And if you keep paying only the minimum amount each month, you will be paying a lot of interest over many years. Some credit card issuers grant you extended warranties or other advantages for purchases made with the card. You have greater legal protection against your seller if the goods are defective and, in some cases, if your credit card number is used without your authorization. However, both MasterCard and VISA now promise $zero liability for some unauthorized use of debit cards on the Internet. Other card issuers may offer the same protection. About the Seller First check the seller’s reputation You might feel safer dealing with companies you already know and trust. If you’re not familiar with the name and reputation of a company-and especially if a seller has sent you an unsolicited e-mail message (“spam”)-find out more before you buy. With a click you can check a company’s reputation by contacting the Better Business Bureau at bbbonline.org or the Office of the State Attorney General in your state or the state where the seller is located. You may access these at naag.org, the website of the National Association of Attorneys General. Also, consumers can search for businesses that qualify for the BBBOnline Seal Seller’s Address Will the seller be at the same web address tomorrow? With a physical store or a catalog, you know where to turn if you run into problems. But in cyberspace, all you may have is a web address. Look on the site for a street address and phone number or do a web search on the seller. Be wary if the seller’s only contact information is a post office box. International Buying Are you buying from someone located outside the U.S.? Since it’s the World Wide Web, sellers might well be located in other countries. If so, you might not have the same legal rights, or be able to enforce your rights as easily, as when the seller is located in the United States. Company Experience Does it matter if the seller has experience selling the product? The law generally gives you more protection when you buy an item from a seller who regularly sells those items. Authorized Seller Is the company an authorized seller? You may get better warranty service if you buy from an authorized seller. How do you know who’s authorized? You can call the manufacturer of the product you’re interested in, or visit the manufacturer’s web site to check if the operator of the site has been authorized to sell the manufacturer’s product. Still Selling Is the seller still in business? You may wish to telephone or send an e-mail to be sure the seller is still in operation, particularly if the web site’s material appears to be old or out of date. About the Product First of all, the website should be reliable. If you found a latest posted laptop was only $99 with the best features, but when you clicked, it was turned to $999, additionally, the feature was different. Obviously, you should drop the web and find another one. Second, the website should have clear layout and true features. Clear layout can help us to see which products we need more quickly. The features should be consistent with the real products. Last but not least, the web should provide all the conveniences for shoppers. Online shoppers are truly money savers. The latest deals, lowest price and hottest coupons are their best needs. If a web would supply products from all the major stores classified into detail categories, it will be a good online shopping website. Online shopping can bring ease and joy to your life. Visit them now to take you on different shopping experiences. In any good standard eCommerce store you shall find links to share products, email it to your friends or even save it in the gallery for future shopping. You can ask any of your Facebook friends’ to comment on the product or email your colleagues about the, price, description etc so they can help you make that decision easily. Moreover on the shopping website you come across reviews, ratings and suggestion from customers that are really handy to buying online. Search all products carefully and see the colors, especially in the case of bases and corrective, as these must be in the same choice of yours. Research the average prices in search engines, with the speed of the internet to search for good deals and reviews is much faster than go all the shopping, so you can always look for the best prices like Google Product Search , Nextag,Merchantland.com. Terms of Delivery Read carefully the delivery policy and exchange store before finalizing your purchase, Brazil does not have very clear rules with respect to purchases made ​​over the internet, being inside all the company’s policy is one way to avoid unpleasant surprises . Choose the best form of payment, but it is noteworthy that payments made ​​via credit card are allowed faster, ie, the faster this confirmation, the faster the product will be sent. It is always better to find out about the taxes and shipping fees associated with the product you intend to buy. This amount will not be included in the cost of the product; so you wouldn’t want to end up with unnecessary confusion in the end. Find out how long it will take for the product to reach you, and if the online shopping store has a return policy. You will never know when you will find some flaws in the product, and have a need to return the product because of damages or wrong size.

If you don’t feel comfortable buying or bidding on an item over the web, or if you feel pressured to place your order immediately, maybe you shouldn’t. Be knowledgeable about web-based auctions. Take special care to familiarize yourself not only with the rules and policies of the auction site itself but with the legal terms (warranties, refund policy, etc.) of the seller’s items that you wish to bid on. Double check pricing. Be suspicious of prices that are too good to be true. Also consider carefully whether you may be paying too much for an item, particularly if you’re bidding through an auction site. You may want to comparison shop, online or offline, before you buy. Make sure there are not extra shipping or handling costs. Find and read the privacy policy. Read the privacy policy carefully to find out what information the seller is gathering from you, how the information will be used, and how you can stop the process. If a site does not have a privacy policy posted, you may not want to do business with it. If it does have a privacy policy, there will probably be a link to it from the seller’s home page, or it could be included with the Legal Terms. Review the return, refund, and shipping and handling policies as well as the other legal terms . If you can’t find them, ask the seller through an e-mail or telephone call to indicate where they are on the site or to provide them to you in writing. See Legal Terms. Make sure the Internet connection is secure. Before you give your payment information, check for indicators that security software is in place. See Security. Use the safest way to pay on the Internet. Pay for your order using a credit card. See Payment. Print the terms. You should print out and date a copy of terms, conditions, warranties, item description, company information, even confirming e-mails, and save them with your records of your purchase. See Recordkeeping. Insure the safe delivery of your item. If you’re concerned you may not be home when your package is delivered and that someone may take it if it is left on the doorstep, ask whether you can specify that the shipper must receive a signature before leaving the package. Or, it may be safer to have the package delivered to your office. See Delivery. Inspect your purchase. Look at your purchase carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact the seller as soon as possible if you discover a problem with it. Tell the seller in writing about any problems you have, ask for a repair or refund, and keep a copy of your correspondence.

First an article on online shopping and shopping from a store. In a store, like a jewelry shop, or an apparel store, when you enter the store you have a image of the product you want to purchase. But you are mostly guided by the sales person in purchasing a product which usually is not your choice. Since any store has limited space to store products , the sales person usually shows only the product which fetches maximum commission for the sales person or only the products which the shop can store . Hence your choice is very restricted or at times zero. Since you have already spent much of your valuable time in searching for the product of your choice, but still you have to settle down with something somewhat close to your choice. Hence ultimately you don’t get the product you want. But in online shopping you can search any number of websites which match your choice and ultimately you definitely get your dream product sitting in the comfort of your sweet home at competitive prices.
