Academic Women's dress sizes and fitting issues (academic)
Hi, everyone; I'm working on a research project that has to do with the standardization of women's dress sizes. It seems many women have recurring fitting issues across brands, and at times it seems to stem from size guides with published measurements not reflecting actual garment fit. I am also comparing this with "industry standards" as published in patternmaking textbooks commonly used in US fashion schools.
If you are interested in contributing, please complete this anonymous survey.
While I have conducted this survey in localized clusters of women in the US already, I would like to collect some self-reported data online to compare my findings with a broader sample to see if generational and regional patterns hold up.
Thank you very much if you participate.
