Then garment makers noticed that the range of human body dimensions was relatively small (for their demographic). History of standard clothing sizes Д«efore the invention of clothing sizes in the early 1800s, all clothing was made to fit individuals by either tailors or makers of clothing in their homes. Some new standards for clothing sizes being developed are therefore based on body-dimensions, such as the EN 13402 'Size designation of clothes'. This results in country-specific and vendor-specific labels incurring additional costs, and can make internet or mail order difficult. 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.

Ad hoc sizes: The label states a size number or code with no obvious relationship to any measurement.

(For example: jeans label stating inner leg length of the jeans in centimetres or inches (not inner leg measurement of the intended wearer).)

Product dimensions: The label states characteristic dimensions of the product.

(For example: bike helmet label stating 'head girth: 56вЂ“60 cm'.)

Body dimensions: The label states the range of body measurements for which the product was designed.

There are three approaches for size-labelling of clothes: Made-to-order garments require measurements to be taken, but these do not need to be converted into national standard form. There are a large number of standard sizing systems around the world for various garments, such as dresses, tops, skirts, and trousers.
