Womens Sizes 6 – 26 Chart

In this guide on size measurements for the fashion industry over 13 pages we are going to discuss:

• The history of sizing standards
• Importance of standards in the market
• Grading rule / Ease / Tolerance
• The measurements chart
• The importance of sampling and fittings
• Specifying skirt measurements
• Terminology

The measurement chart included in this document has been created and used in the industry both for setting up new brands for my clients as well as my own.

The chart has defined 27 measurement points over the body based on the 1997 Australian standards and adjusted to meet the EU and US standards to ensure that this sizing chart caters to a broader International market.

But providing you measurement points alone is not setting you up for success in your fashion business, I will also discuss creating ease and specifying the measurement charts for a basic style going over the steps that I take to create size measurement charts for tech packs.
