Discusses history, methods, and challenges of sizing systems in the apparel industry. (And hundreds of references for a deeper dive.)
"Providing clothing that fits the population is a critical issue for any designer and manufacturer of apparel. These documents provide an introduction to the issues related to this process with links to references on each topic.
