Abstract
Nearly everyone has experienced fit problems with some wearable product and, as
a result, few people have confidence in buying something without trying it on. Even
if we have the option of trying it on, we may not find any size that fits well. We may
have to shop in a department that doesn’t have the type of items we need, such as a tall woman forced to shop in menswear or a small person forced to shop in
childrenswear department. Being small doesn’t mean you want to wear girly pink frilly knickers!
