ASTM D5585-95(2001)

Standard Table of Body Measurements for Adult Female Misses Figure Type, Sizes 2-20 (Withdrawn 2010)

SCOPE
1.1 This table lists body measurements of the adult female misses figure type, sizes 2 through 20. Although these are body measurements, they can be used as a baseline in designing apparel for misses figures in this size range when considering such factors as fabric type, desired ease for body movement, styling, and fit.
1.2 The values stated in either acceptable SI units or inch-pound units shall be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This table lists body measurements of the adult female misses figure type, sizes 2 through 20.  
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D13 on Textiles and the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.55 on Body Measurement for Apparel Sizing, this standard was withdrawn in January 2010 in accordance with section 10.5.3.1 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.

INTRODUCTION
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
2 3 4
(Gordon, et al., 1988 ) and by the U.S. Navy (Mellian, et al., 1990 and Robinette, 1990 ). The
5
measurements were derived originally from the PS 42-70 database, which was developed from
6
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.
