Comment on Why do we even do mens vs womens sizes for clothes?

You must be man. 😀
Me too, but I also sew, so: Different types of clothing fit women differently based on size. And I don’t mean body shape fit just being slightly different. A “small shirt” can have a million different lengths which could reveal midriff based on bust or Shoulder size. This is impacted by curves but is a total dofferent measurement.
And wait until you realize that people are sized different in different countries other than America.
The best solution would be to remove sizes altogether and create a standardized measurements sheet that is required to be included on clothing sites or tags. Or at least an international standard. It’s done in engineering, why not in textiles?
