ASTM D5585-95

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

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.

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
measurements were derived originally from the PS 42-70 database, 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.
