When we buy clothes, we often see a size mark on the clothes, with something written on it, including numbers and letters. Although everyone knows that this thing represents the size of clothes, many people also say that they know which size they wear. But can you be sure that you can wear every piece of clothing in this size? Do you really know what these mean?
“Why is it enough for me to wear someone else’s size S, but do I have to wear size M to wear yours?”
“The clothing sizes online are inaccurate. Wear M for flat wear, but L for online wear.”
… . ..
I believe everyone has encountered similar problems, right?
Then let’s share it next. Is it really the wrong size or are there other reasons? What causes these situations to occur? (The following content is a bit dry, but I guarantee it will be useful to you)
First of all, we need to know the correct size of the clothes. Know what size standards it is made to during the production process.
The above is the production specification sheet, which is usually included before making clothes. We can see that there are various characters and numbers on it. On the far left are some of the most basic and critical parts of this clothing. The ones above are the so-called size, which is what we usually call the size, and then there are a bunch of them in the middle. This is the specific data of this clothing. This is the standard size for producing this garment.
Of course not all specification sheets are the same. For example, the names of parts used in clothes and pants are definitely different. For example, clothes have bust sizes, and pants There will be hip size.
After having this form, is it correct to make clothes exactly according to this? That’s not necessarily true. After all, clothes are made by humans, so there will still be errors, but the difference will not be huge (unless some factories have poor quality). The country also has relevant regulations. Depending on the category and fabric, each part will have an error range. Everything within the error range is qualified and will not affect the wearing effect. Especially clothes entering shopping malls will be randomly inspected by the state.
Let’s take a look at the specific generation process of the specification sheet. The yellow area above is the standard size of this dress, which is the standard size determined after the design of this dress. It is usually the middle size. Several other codes are derived from this code. This is a very critical process. Whether the size is suitable will directly affect the quality of the entire batch of goods.
The size of this reference code is not written randomly. Generally, people with this standard body type will be found to try on the clothes to see if the effect is in line with the design. For example, some have a slimming effect, while others have to be loose, and some have a street feel. This is why the same model has different sizes.
This is why I usually wear size M, but for this dress, I only need to wear size S? The reason is that you wear loose clothes with the effect of being fitted or slimming. Another example is the North and the South, where body types and styles are different, and this situation may also occur.
Then let’s talk about the problems you will encounter when selecting codes. Still look at the picture above. Some of the numbers represented in the red circle area are “S, M, L…”; some are “39, 40, 41…”; some are even represented by “1, 2, 3…”. In fact, this is just a code name. The blue circle area is the more important model. We will see words such as “175/92A”. The “175” on the left refers to the height, the “92” in the middle refers to the girth, and the “A” on the far right represents the body shape. Together, this size of clothing was originally intended for ” Height 175CM, net bust 92CM, standard body type.” Note that I said I planned to wear it for “him”, not that it would be “him” who would wear it in the end.
Looking at this specification sheet again, the “175/96Y” here means that it is suitable for “people with a height of 175CM, a net bust of 96CM, and a thin body type.”
The letters representing body shape generally include “Y, A, B, and C”, which represent “thin, normal, fat, and obese” respectively. Of course, You can call it whatever you want.
Knowing this, we can clearly know which size of clothes we should wear after looking at the size marks on the clothes.
In addition, as mentioned before, what is mentioned here is that the factory is producing the clothes or the designer is The effect you want to present when designing this dress, but if some people are unwilling to wear it according to the preset effect, it is okay. If you know these rules, you can use it flexibly. For example, I am 175/92A, but I just like the loose fit of this dress and the big effect. Then I can choose to wear 180 or even 185. If I like tight clothes, I can choose small. One yard of clothing.
In fact, the main reason I want to share so much today is to explain that many clothes need to be tried on to know the effect. You cannot simply think that if you wear a small size, you will be a small size.
Although it is difficult for me to directly tell you what size you should wear, I believe you should know how to choose your size.
