(Specification)Standard Tables of Body Measurements for Adult Female Misses Figure Type, Size Range 00–20
Standard Tables of Body Measurements for Adult Female Misses Figure Type, Size Range 00<span class='unicode'>–</span>20
SCOPE
1.1 These tables list body measurements of adult female misses figure Type sizes 00 through 20. Although these are body measurements, they can be used as a baseline in designing apparel for Missy in this size range when considering such factors as fabric type, ease for body movement, styling, and fit.
1.2 These tables list body measurements for the complete range of Missy sizing.
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. ^REFERENCE:

INTRODUCTION
These body measurement tables were developed from evaluation of data currently used in the
apparel industry. These tables were developed from data published by the U.S. Department of

Commerce, Caesar Study , Size USA Study, Current USA industry and studies, and scans and

documentation from Alvanon Inc. This standard takes into consideration Misses figure at a standard
height of 5 ft 5 in. ( 65 % of average USA population) taking into account the decrease and increase
in body weight that shift a person from one size to another, while this person does not gain in height.
Also included is a definition of body type, Curvy or Straight as applied to waist, high hip, hip seat,
thigh and mid-thigh girths that result in a different body shape (silhouette). Major review and
evaluation was done. The incremental growth at different key body points has been addressed and
defined, which resulted in identifying increases and decreases at different rates in specific areas; bust,
waist, high hip and hip/seat.Additionally, to better serve the industry, incremental movement between
sizes was reviewed ensuring smooth transition between sizes. To verify the proposed body
measurements, a three-dimensionalAvatar was created in the Misses size range 00 through 20 (Curvy
and Straight) by Alvanon Inc. for a visual reference and is also attached in the documentation.

This body measurement table was developed from body measurements used currently by apparel
manufacturers and retail organizations and from anthropometric surveys conducted by the U.S.Army
(Gordon, et al., 1988
These body measurement tables were developed from evaluation of data currently used in the
apparel industry. These tables were developed from data published by the U.S. Department of

industry and studies, and scans and documentation from Alvanon Inc. which was developed from
anthropometric research conducted in 1941 by O’Brien and Shelton. It is important to note that the
body measurements herein have been derived from designer experience and market observations and
crosschecked with available databases in the attempt to identify current customer characteristics and
changing proportions and not from new nationwide anthropometric research. This standard takes into
consideration Misses figure at a standard height of 5 ft 5 in. ( 65 % of average USApopulation) taking
into account the decrease and increase in body weight that shift a person from one size to another,
while this person does not gain in height.Also included is a definition of body type, Curvy or Straight
