Why women's clothing sizes are all over the shop. National sizing survey needed to reflect changing shape of Australian women.

Why women's clothing sizes are all over the shop

CHOICE says widespread clothing size irregularities plus a lack of data on the changing shape of Australians highlights the need for a national sizing survey. There are no uniform sizes for women or men’s clothing since the previous standard was dropped two years ago. Despite a heavier population, the most recent data collected for the women’s sizing standard was in 1975. CHOICE says the fashion industry currently bases its sizing on previous sales history and marketing hunches about the size and shape of customer they feel best reflects their brand. Sizing irregularity is also affecting the online shopping market with retailers saying Australia lags behind the United States, United Kingdom and Europe in this area. “The fact that online clothes shopping has yet to take off in Australia is of little surprise given women’s clothing sizes in general are all over the shop,” said CHOICE spokeswoman Elise Davidson. CHOICE and clothing size irregularities.

In brief There is no Australian industry standard for adult clothing sizes; as a result, designers and manufacturers are free to make up their own size specifications.

CHOICE and clothing size irregularities

Sizing inconsistencies pose real difficulties for clothes shopping online. Many key industry players have called for government funding of a national sizing survey to assess the body shapes of Australians to help manufacturers, retailers and consumers make a better fit. While there is an Australian standard for children’s clothes sizes, there isn’t for adults. So in the absence of any definitive size guide, designers and clothing manufacturers base their versions of sizes on their sales history, marketing hunches and what they believe is their ideal customer. While this may suit the designers, who can manipulate sizing to give an instant “feel good” factor, as well as deter the “wrong” body shapes from fitting their clothes, consumers are often left having to try on a range of sizes to find the right one.
