Abstract

With the advance of technology, the order-made clothes gradually give way to ready-made clothes. It is already well-known that more than 80 percentage of Japanese are choosing ready-made clothes while less than 5 persons out of 100 are spending their money and valuable time to have their clothes order-made in the United States. One of the fundamental steps to reach the system of mass production of clothes is recognized as a 'reasonable' sizing system. 'Reasonable' can be interpreted 'optimum' in the sense of minimum loss from both producers and customers. This paper desires the methodology to obtain the sizing system utilizing the human body measurement data, The suggested methodology could be extended to the sizing system for the design of other items including industrial equipments.
