NYC garment industry (sorry, but I don't feel comfortable naming the company I work for)
Sweater Technical Designer (the job is making clothes fit customers) This is just an average (of different companies I've worked for), and is specific to sweaters and knit tops only. Here you go:All you do is add the following amounts to a medium to get a large: But I was wondering if there's even a point if they're similiar?!Īny idea what the real difference is, ladies? I've been shopping again lately, and I usually wear a medium, as I'm not.large, but large makes me feel more comfortable, and my boobs aren't as WHOA as they are in a medium.but it just seems like it's too long, so I should get the medium instead. What is the REAL difference between a "medium" and a "large" size shirt? I know that the medium is smaller, but in what way? Is it just in breast area and middle, or is the length shorter as well? That's what I'm wondering. Originally Posted by Sincerely Me /img/forum/go_quote.gif I looked all over the web for the answer, and couldn't get what I was looking for. Here is a sample sizing chart, I'm not sure what the difference between "Standard" and "Modern" sizes are, but you can see that as size increases, all the measurements increase: Which is why it's so hard for most women to find clothes (especially pants) that fit properly, because few of us have an hour-glass figure, especially in the very large and very small sizes! The article said a few companies are just starting to make more "intelligent" sizes an offer more options such as cuts for more boyish or curvy figures, but in general, most clothes are designed for an hourglass figure. Then for larger and smaller sizes, they simply scale all of the measurements up or down. I read an interesting article in Redbook Magazine about how clothing companies determine their sizes - they start with a model who's normally a size 8 with an hourglass figure and make the size 8 to fit her. (I have noticed that shirts tend to get longer as the sizes increase, and of course wider.) Normally as clothing sizes increase, they get bigger and longer in all directions, not just say the bust.
