Sizefox allows you to add several measurement points to your size chart, and in the list below we will guide you through the most common ones.
Please keep in mind that each measurement can be taken directly on the garment (finished garment measurements) or on a model or mannequin (body measurement) and the result might differ slightly. For example, a chest measurement taken from a shirt will be larger than the chest measurement taken from a mannequin, as the shirt will need to allow some ease, meaning the space between the body and the garment.
When creating your size chart, you might want to keep in mind that a shopper tends to compare the data in the size chart with its own body measurements. For this reason, we suggest you use body measurements in your charts.
In the following paragraph, we will list the most common measurement points, which can be used for both garment and body measurements, to be included in your personalised size chart:
Upper body measurement points
- Chest circumference (required)
- Waist circumference (required)
- Shoulder width (optional)
- Arm length (optional)
Lower body measurement points
- Hip circumference (required)
- Waist circumference (required)
- Leg length (optional)
The measurement points listed above are the most commonly used ones, but depending on the garment you are selling or producing, you might want to add more. For more information about measurements for a specific garment type, please refer to the section Clothing measurements on Sizefox blog.
Keep in mind that even though Sizefox recommender is currently available only for upper and lower body garments, you can nevertheless create size charts for any item that comes in different sizes. From hats to ties to bikes, you just need to add the relevant measurements to the chart and the available sizes.
