How to determine the size of a mink coat. How to choose the right coat size

The fact that the “suit fits” properly is not only the heroes of the New Year’s film beloved by Russians. Any, no matter how high-quality and expensive clothes will look on their wearer, only if the size is chosen correctly. And this applies to fur coats in the same way.

When choosing a fur coat, you should understand that you are buying a fur outfit that you will wear for at least several years. Yes, some people can afford to change their fur coat every season, but there are not many of them - and the fashion for fur still changes quite slowly, the main trends move from season to season.

Therefore, you need to choose a fur coat very carefully, you must be sure that you are comfortable in it, that it sits well. This is not the kind of clothes that are bought "for growth", or hoping to lose weight. You can lose weight, and the fur coat will not look good on you. So buy only the clothes that suit you right here and now.

There are several immutable products for choosing fur products by size:

Rule One- never buy a fur coat if it is small or too tight for you. This will not make you slim, but, on the contrary, will make the figure look fuller and awkward in appearance. In addition, in such a fur coat you will sweat more, which, among other things, can affect its safety. And the fur on such a fur coat will wear out faster.

Rule Two– if you are having trouble choosing between two sizes that both seem to fit you, choose the larger one. It will still be good to sit in a fur coat, and you will be freer in it, and even in case of frost you can dress warmer.

Most often, the sizes of fur products are quite large. For example, a size 50 fur coat might suit ladies whose size is between 50 and 54. The main thing - we recall once again - is not to strive to buy a tight-fitting fur coat.

It is very important to know all the features of your figure. For petite women, fur coats are sewn according to specially selected proportions, based on a shorter sleeve and torso. For overweight ladies, a wide fur coat to the knees or a short A-shaped fur coat will help to visually reduce the size.

And in any case - fur coats must be measured. In addition, the process of trying on exquisite furs cannot but give pleasure even to those ladies who do not cherish the prospect of spending time in the fitting room and in front of the mirror of a clothing store.

So that you can find out in advance what sizes the Fur Factory salon-shop offers its customers, we offer you a table of sizes valid in our store for your reference.

For example: on the label of a fur coat, these are the parameters 85 cm / 100 cm / 130 cm.

Where: 85 cm - the length of the product. 100 cm - the width of the product at chest level (in this case, it is 42-44 sizes.). 130 cm - the circumference of the fur coat along the bottom (hem).

How to take measurements?

To find out your size, you will need to take individual measurements with a centimeter tape. It is necessary to take into account the height, girth of the bust, waist and hips.

Rules and nuances of measurement:

  • Usually, growth The first thing you should pay attention to when buying a fur product. You will need an accurate measurement of your height, differences in measurements are allowed no more than three centimeters.
  • Properly measured breast volume is of great importance for the selection of a fur coat ideally for the figure. When measuring, be sure to keep in mind that you will be wearing some clothes, a shirt or a sweater under a fur coat. There may be a difference in actual measurements from the measurements indicated on the label of the fur product by about two centimeters.
  • Waist it is especially important if the fur coat model is fitted. Measure the narrowest part of your torso with a measuring tape and add a couple of centimeters to your measurements.
  • To measure hips it is necessary along the protruding points of the pelvis, plus or minus a couple of centimeters.

For an accurate result, measurements of a mink coat should be done by someone else. Remember the measurements and compare them with the numbers indicated on the fur tag.

Need to know! There are several dimensional grids: Russian, American, English and European.

The sales assistant will help you compare your data with the size written on the fur coat label. But you should not unequivocally trust the size indicated by the manufacturer, it is imperative to try on a fur coat, since tailoring features for a particular model are possible.

Subtleties of choice

In order for a high-quality and comfortable mink coat to last more than one season, you must adhere to the following practical tips:

  1. Do not buy a fur coat "back to back". A tight-fitting fur product will hinder movement, and not sit as it should. Due to the tight fit to your body, the fur coat will significantly reduce its service life.
  2. If, when trying on, the pockets on the fur coat bristle, and horizontal folds are also noticeable in the back area - try on a size up.
  3. Vertical wavy folds indicate that the fur coat is too big for you.
  4. Pay attention to coat style, It happens that due to an inappropriate model, it is not possible to find the right size. Look at other fur coats that suit your figure.

Before buying a fur coat, carefully try it on, carefully inspect, compare with other models presented. Take your time with the choice, you need to make sure that you are comfortable in a fur coat, and it does not hinder your movements.

A stylish fur coat made of mink, sable, beaver or any other fur is a desirable purchase for millions of women. Before you buy a fur product, of course, you need to arm yourself with all sorts of information about it, the right one. Information on how to determine your size will also be very useful. After all, if you buy a fur coat that is too large, it will fill you up, and in general it will look ridiculous. And if the product is too small for you, then it will bristle and may soon go along the seam.

Sizing Rules

First of all, you need to measure the girth of the chest and hips at the most protruding points. Take all measurements on underwear. The resulting values ​​can be found in the size table.

If your size is borderline between two

For example, you always wear size 60 clothes, which means that your chest circumference should be 120 cm, and your hips should be 128 cm. And if your measurements are, for example, 120 cm and 133 cm, respectively? That is, a fur coat of size 60 will be small in the hips, and 62 will be large in the chest. In this case, choose a larger size.

How to understand that a fur coat does not fit in size?

Sure signs that the product is not enough for you are horizontal folds and protruding pockets. If the fur coat is large for you, vertical folds will appear on it. It is also not uncommon for a fur coat to be exactly the right size, but it still sits crooked, folds appear, in some places the fur coat is stretched, the pockets are protruding, the hem in front is much shorter/longer than in the back. The thing is that this style is simply designed for another. In this case, there are two options. Either find another model, or take the fluffy beauty to the atelier, where she will be "fitted" to your figure.


On a note!

Even if you have already bought a fur coat and soon found that it does not fit you, in accordance with the Consumer Protection Law, you have the right to exchange the product within 14 days, not counting the day of purchase. You can read more about this in a special section.

Buying a fur coat is a serious step, a long-term investment of money, and a lot of it, for warmth and beauty in a frosty winter. The purchased fur item must be exactly the right size, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to wear:

Fashion for fur coats does not change as often as for other outerwear. In recent years, the model of a straight silhouette with a minimum of decor has been relevant. But clothes of even such a simple style require precise selection for each figure.

There are three numbers on the label of any women's item: they indicate height, hip and chest circumference. To understand what criteria the physique meets, you need to know these indicators. We measure growth:

To measure your height at home, it is best to use the help of another person. If this is not possible, then an error of 1-2 cm in the direction of increase or decrease must be taken into account. Be sure to take measurements of the girth of the hips and chest.

How to determine your size?

The girth of the hips is determined by measuring them at their widest point. For buying a fur coat, this indicator is very important. The girth of the chest is usually measured at convex points, the resulting figure is divided in two. The result is the size. For example, a chest girth of 96 cm, dividing it in two, we get 48. This means that for a woman with a chest girth of 96, you need to choose a fur coat of size 48.

Important! Accurate measurements can only be obtained if all measurements are taken with minimal clothing (only underwear is allowed).

What is a border size?

Not all women will confidently answer the question about their clothing size. Sometimes a blouse is bought in size 46, and trousers in size 48. This happens because different parameters of the figure dictate their choice. For fur products - voluminous and durable - you need to focus on large numbers. They should be the decisive factor in purchasing a fur coat with a deviation in the size range towards an increase.

If you take a fur thing with a focus on smaller parameters, then there is a high risk that there will be excessive fitting (tightening) of those in places that go beyond standard measurements. Do not buy a fur coat that will be small - it has little comfort and even less freedom of movement. If the product is stretched over the figure, like a drum, the cold will penetrate quickly enough.

Also, do not take a thing that will be large: in addition to the fact that the frosty air will walk freely inside the fur coat and “cool down” it, it will also look quite comical.

Size standards

Fur coats are mainly sewn for a height of 170 ± 5 cm. But sometimes in the store you can also find fur items for women with a height of 180 or 190 cm. Be sure to pay attention to this indicator when buying a fur coat, otherwise the waist will be shifted in a fitted model, and shorter length the silhouette itself will not look harmonious.

The Russian size range of fur products in the store is from 38 to 66. There is also a European (from 32 to 60) and international (from XXS to XL) systems.

How to understand that the size is determined correctly?

This is not difficult. A few simple signs will help:

An example of determining the size of a fur coat

The girl’s height is 170 cm, chest girth is 95, hips is 102. If we take the half-girth of the chest, we get size 48, even the 50th, but on the hips - 52. So, the fur coat should be looked after with marking 52, we go in the direction of increase. This will be correct for comfortable operation of the product. According to the table, we determine the marking of the international system L and European - 40.

Having learned everything about the correct selection of sizes, it would be useful to systematize the information by looking at the table with the Russian and international classification.

Differences between mink, muton, arctic fox and other fur coats

Mink products are very beautiful, elegant, modern. These animals are short-haired, fur coats from their fur do not add any additional volume or extra pounds. Medium pile mouton or astrakhan fur coats look more voluminous than mink, but with the right choice of style, they will adorn their owner for many years.

Quite another thing is the fur of a muton, arctic fox, fox. Products from them are long-haired, adding kilograms and volume and taking a few centimeters of growth. You should choose styles that are not long, not bulky, possibly from the sheared fur of these animals.

The sizes for any fur coat are standard, if deviations from the norm are not discussed separately in each particular company.

A fur coat is the warmest and most beautiful clothing for Russian cold weather. In addition, if you take the purchase responsibly, a fur coat can be an excellent financial investment - decorating your mistress for many years. The determination of the size of a fur coat should be approached with special attention, only then the purchase will be beautiful, comfortable and durable. Otherwise, the fur coat may be so tight that it will be impossible to move in it, or “dangle”, as if your aunt gave it to you. We will tell you how to choose the right fur coat.

There are three numbers on the fur coat label - the first indicates the height, the second is the half-girth of the chest, the third is the half-girth of the hips.
The first thing you need when choosing a fur coat is to measure your height - this is the first figure on Russian markings. Feel free to allow a difference of three centimeters! If you make a mistake, then the waist of the coat will "float" and make the regal clothes look ridiculous. Usually, fur coats are sewn for a height of 170 cm, but there are fur coats for a height of 160 and 180 cm on sale.

After that, you need to determine the width of the shoulders, the girth of the hips and the girth of the chest. You should especially pay attention to the parameters of the hips when buying tight-fitting fur coats, for example, if you want to buy a fur coat for an autolady model.
Despite the fact that the fur coat is not a swimsuit or a tracksuit, but rather a voluminous and majestic piece of clothing, it should be quite free, so raise your hands when trying on - the fur coat should not hinder movement.

The second thing you need to pay attention to when you are wondering: how to choose a fur coat - fur. The fur of the muton, beaver, fox, chinchilla and astrakhan has a long or medium pile - these fur coats will look quite voluminous, so if nature has endowed you with magnificent forms, it is better to avoid the fur of these animals. The mink coat has a short and smooth fur, so it will not add extra centimeters and will suit any figure. Thus, if with a full figure you really want to buy a fox fur coat, think that it would be much better to choose a mink fur coat.
If you cannot decide between two borderline sizes, then it is better to choose a larger fur coat. A loose fur coat will allow you to wear a warm sweater and last longer for two reasons: the mezra will not get wet from moisture and sweat (after drying, there is a risk that the skin will harden, lose elasticity and even tear!), And also protect the fur from premature erasure.

How should a fur coat sit and how to understand that you did not guess with the size?

If the size of the fur coat is too small, horizontal folds and protruding pockets will “decorate” it. A fur coat that is small for you will not only be ugly, but also uncomfortable. In a tight and ridiculous fur coat, you run the risk of freezing in extreme cold - a small fur coat will not allow you to wear warm clothes.

If the fur coat is large, you will understand it by the vertical folds. A large fur coat looks like it was taken off someone else's shoulder.

It also happens that the fur coat sits perfectly on the mannequin, and when trying on different sizes, you find folds, tension, the sides overlap each other with scissors or diverge “like ships in the sea”, the seams are displaced. In this case, you should pay attention to other models - the fur coat is not made for your type of figure. A win-win option is a free-cut fur coat, flared at the bottom - the “trapeze” model.
