English sizes of women's clothing: general parameters

In order for the purchased items purchased in imported online stores to ideally “sit on the figure”, you need to accurately measure with a measuring tape, starting from the following parameters:

• bust. When measuring the volume of the chest, the measuring tape must be put under the arms, through the shoulder blades and fixed at the most “peak” point of the chest.
  Waist. We measure the waist line in the narrowest place, without drawing in the stomach at the same time - otherwise the thing will be too small.
• hips. The circumference of the hips is measured at a distance of 20 cm from the waist line, on the most "convex" parts of the buttocks.

During the measurement, the measuring tape should not cut into the body, but tightly fit it. In order to determine the specified parameters as correctly as possible, it is advisable to get rid of bulky clothes during measurements.

All parameters in the "English sizes of women's clothing" are indicated in inches, which is equal to 2.54 centimeters. To obtain British parameters, the measurements obtained as a result of measuring the measuring tape should be divided by 2.54.

Most American and British manufacturers produce clothes, focusing not only on the above body parameters, but also on height, which makes it possible for an online shopper to determine the appropriate size with maximum accuracy.
