A variety of body shapes – most designers make one pattern along set lines, then size up or down as necessary. However, humans don’t grow in a perfectly mathematical function, so sizing far up and down from that ideal size starts to look wonky. The arms are too long. The shoulders too narrow. Weight distributed differently to bust and waist and hip, much less leg length, back dress length, and a range of other measurements that change through a person’s life and from person to person. Some folks are short- or long-waisted – and that’s okay! With clothing cut to fit more parameters than just a standard made-up size, we would have clothes that could fit more things. Women’s pants go by sizes – 4, 6, 8. Men’s have an inseam and a waist measurement. Short and stubby? No problem. Long and thin? Sure thing! Imagine if women’s pants were sold by two or even three measurements – it would be much easier to find ones that fit. Other clothing should be like this as well – how often have your sleeves been too long or too short? Perhaps the Stitch Hardee’s St. Patrick’s day shirt Additionally,I will love this dress that fits in the waist is too narrow across the shoulders. People come in all different shapes, and clothes should too.
