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
(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
Commerce,2 ) and by the U.S. Navy (Mellian, et al., 1990Caesar Study3and Robinette, 1990, Size

USA Study,4 ). The measurements were derived originally from the PS 42-70 database,Current USA
industry and studies, and scans and documentation from Alvanon Inc.5 which was developed from
anthropometric research conducted in 1941 by O’Brien and Shelton. It is important to note that the

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

(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-dimensional Avatar was created in the
Misses size range 00 through 20 (Curvy and Straight) by Alvanon Inc. for a visual reference and is

1. Scope
1.1This table lists1.1 These tables list body measurements of the adult female misses figure type,Type sizes 200 through 20.
Although these are body measurements, they can be used as a baseline in designing apparel for misses figures Missy in this size
range when considering such factors as fabric type, desired 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 acceptable SI units or inch-pound units shall are to be regarded separately as standard. The values
stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustshall be used independently of the other, without
combining other. Combining values from the two systems may result in any way. non-conformance with the standard.

6. Procedure
6.1 General ProcedureGeneral:
6.1.1Verify that measuring devices and scales are within calibration.
6.1.2For all vertical and most horizontal measurements, measure the body while standing erect without shoes and with feet
approximately 15 cm (6 in.) apart.
6.1.3Take measurements over regular undergarments normally worn when shopping for well-fitted apparel.
6.1.4For bust-related dimensions, measure over an unpadded brassiere that fits exactly, is made of thin material, and does not
contain metal or other supports.
6.1.5Take all measurements except torso circumferences, height, and weight from the same side of the body for consistency.
6.1.6Refer to Terminology D5219 for the location of all points to be measured (See Section 2).
6.1.1 For all vertical and most horizontal measurements, subject is to be standing erect without shoes and with feet
approximately 15 cm (6 in.) apart. (for Infant special cases) For all vertical and most horizontal measurements, subject is to be
lying down flat with legs extended and foot positioned at 1.57 rad (90°) to the leg.
