Do you know which are the body dimensions used when assigning clothing sizes? These are called girths and are taken at the following levels: head, neck, chest, bust, underbust, waist, hip and of course the height and some lengths such as leg, arm or foot.
So if it were for you to try and find the perfect measurements for you then you would have to take account of all these. Any clothing item takes account of at least one of these measurements.

Size charts help you figure out what size of clothes or shoes to choose. To facilitate this task:. Make an accurate measurement of your own body.
If the pants are selected in the table based on waist and hips, these areas should be measured. Analyze the dimensions that are shown in the table and choose the one that is closest to our dimensions. If we have doubts, it is safer to choose a size larger than too small. When choosing the size, the cut and the material of the clothing should also be taken into account. If we buy elastic sweatpants, we can expect them to stretch gently and fit the body.
