We all know, women sizes differs between brands, models and countries. Men had the war to tha k for standardize sizing due to uniform requirement. Need a pair of pants? Hip size and leg lenght is all you need! For wonen though, it depends wich country, company, cut of pants. You’vegot hips sizing, waist size, various non descriptive leg lenght ( Regular, for short or tall legs), etc. I think it is just tedious to shop for clothing at this point. What’s yourtakeon a solution to simplify all this spaguetti of size clothing?

Step 1 would be to get women to give up on the concept of form-fitted clothing, and just accept that off-the-rack items fit about as well as a potato sack, like most men’s clothing does. Voilà, then I could standardize sizing to just a couple numbers.

I admit, most of my clothings are gender neutral in style. I wear some “unisex” t-shirts and really straight jeans most of the time. I like being a potato I guess ahah

Exactly as you’ve described it: bust, waist, hip and leg length, but with leg length from hip to ankle. It would mean not all sizes are available for a given piece of clothing, but it would mean that on the rack or online, you could tell whether a piece of clothing would fit.

Yes and I would also add thigh circumference and calf circumference. I have larger thighs and calves, which is not always in line with hip circumference. For example, hips can fit but not calves in straight legged pants for me.

In this case, would it not make more sense to have more varied materials that are more stretchy, and more brands that cater to more varied sized people?

Standards are great for standard sized people, but it’s also nice to have a selection of non-standard sized clothes for non-standard sized people.

The problem is there are very few “standard sized” women, and not everyone wants to wear yoga pants or mumus.

Vacuum sealing plug suits from Evangelion. One size fits most.

Lol. I imagine stepping into a plastic boiler suit with one of those vacuum storage bags seals on the stomach.

Do away with the size numbers, they’re not necessary anymore. Let me introduce you to spray on clothing…
