From main pattern to body series; Establish a consistent size standard for men's and women's shirts, from measurement method to manufacturing tolerance.

01

A pattern is more than a size chart

Two shirts with the same chest size; It may look different due to shoulder slope, armhole, back balance and skirt shape. The pattern target defines silhouette and ease of movement as well as body values.

02

Approach in male and female pattern

A women's shirt is not a reduced version of a men's shirt. The target customer's body proportions, chest-waist balance, shoulder structure and product length should be evaluated independently.

  • Main body and target user
  • Shoulder, chest, waist and hip balance
  • Arm movement and cuff circumference
  • Product length and skirt shape
Examine the pattern and sample process
03

Grading and tolerance

Switching between sizes does not mean adding the same amount to each size. Critical measures progress at different rates. Tolerance is not a freedom that changes the target measurement, but an acceptance range within the defined measurement method.
