Abstract
Literature reviews show that consumers are not satisfied with the fit of garments sold in stores, primarily due to outdated sizing systems used by companies and the limited number of sizes being produced. The purpose of this article is to present a sizing system creation method, which can be applied on body measurement data to improve the overall fit of garments. Data from the SizeUSA study was used. The sizing system creation process included natural log-transformation, principle component analysis, multivariate linear regression, size range determination, and measurements calculation. The created sizing system was then compared with ASTM D5585-11e1. Analysis of the results showed that the method used to create the sizing system was reliable and repeatable. This was an important research effort for apparel manufactures, as it demonstrated a method to create a sizing system that is flexible and can be altered to fit target consumer groups!
