Some examples of body measurements used for sizing of clothes. In clothing, clothing size refers to the label sizes used for garments sold off-the-shelf. Body dimensions: The label states the range of body measurements for which the product was designed. Product dimensions: The label states characteristic dimensions of the product. Ad hoc sizes: The label states a size number or code with no obvious relationship to any measurement. Traditionally, clothes have been labelled using many different ad hoc size systems, which has resulted in varying sizing methods between different manufacturers made for different countries due to changing demographics and increasing rates of obesity, a phenomenon known as vanity sizing. This results in country-specific and vendor-specific labels incurring additional costs, and can make internet or mail order difficult.
