Anthropometric Sizing Systems for Army Women's Field Clothing
Abstract
This report contains a series of anthropometrically-based sizing programs and tariffs for Army women's field clothing. Included here are size systems for upper body, lower body and total body garments. Designed for use by clothing designers and pattern makers, this document consists in large part of sizing tables on which recommended values for some 59 dimensions relevant to garment construction are highlighted for easy identification. Regression equations, rather than more traditional methods, were used to develop the sizing data in this report which also contains sufficient supportive material to permit designers to modify suggested dimensional values or to compute alternative sizing programs. A visual index accompanied by measurement descriptions, and bivariate distribution tables on which size categories have been graphically superimposed serve as visual references for users. A glossary of terms is also included. Source of the dimensional data used in this report was a survey of 1, 330 U.S. Army women conducted in 1976-77.
