When buying clothes or shoes, one of the most important factors in choosing is the right size. Surely, everyone has heard this word more than once, but it’s not always clear what it means “little measure”.
What size should I choose if the item is "small in size"?
Often in the store you can hear the phrase that the thing is too small. Sometimes this leads to a stupor, because it is not difficult to get confused in meaning. What does this popular term mean, and is it worth it to be afraid of? Malomerki - it is customary to call a pair of shoes, the size of which is marked more than it actually is.
Usually shoes are small in size for one or a maximum of 1.5 sizes. That is, if you have 37, then you should choose a model marked 38, if 38 - then 39, and so on. This just means that they are small in size. That is why in stores it is often worth trying several models at once, usually one size larger or one smaller.
Why is this happening
Often, especially with cheap or not very high-quality production, (as they say, Chinese), an error in size appears. Many people have a logical question: if the size is small, then the thing is of poor quality? Not necessarily, because the labeling largely depends on the country of origin. For example, the famous Zara brand has many items larger than the specified size, although the clothes are of very good quality. And shoes in the Bershka fashion store, on the contrary, are often small in size by 0.5-1 sizes.
If the label of the T-shirt, coat and any other thing indicates the right size, but you can’t squeeze into it or it just sits badly, the girls immediately begin to fear that they are stout, but this only means that clothing is too small.
How not to choose malomerki?
Pairs of shoes are often small. This means that there is a need to try on shoes in the store. If you choose even a slightly incorrect size, you later experience inconvenience when wearing. On the tags in the stores it is almost never written that the clothes are too small, which means that you can find out only during the fitting. Sometimes it can be suggested by sales consultants or it can be seen with the naked eye, but such cases are rare.
It's funny, but many people have never heard of the existence of such a term, at least about its use. For many, the noun “malomerki” is more familiar by ear, and such a word-formation process has gone so far as to clarify the meaning of a familiar word. In addition, it is quite easy to get confused in which case the clothes are larger than the right size, and in which less. You can remember from the root of the word when they are small, then they will be small, and vice versa.
Online shopping
When ordering on the Internet, and therefore the inability to try on, a similar error in size also often occurs. It is in such a situation that it is easiest to make a mistake, especially since issuing a refund will not always be easy. In order to avoid such problems, websites and online stores often attach a table of clothing dimensions in accordance with the size names adopted in different countries, measurements and data indicated in centimeters.
We figured out what it means "small size." When buying, be sure to pay attention to whether the description or comments contain an explanation that the thing did not come at the time because the size was too small or too large.
