“…"21 Her perceived deviations from the normative body were amplified by the emergent technology of standardized sizing. While the origins of standardized sizing can be located in the eighteenth century, and specifically in Europe where wars and colonial unrest resulted in the formation of large standing armies that required a vast amount of standardized uniforms, 22 Indeed, it would dramatically alter the ways about which the "normal" body was thought.…”

“…In the UK, clothing was constructed on an individual basis well into the 20 th century (Kunick, 1984;Aldrich, 2007). This individual approach enabled the tailor or dressmaker to adjust garments for each specific wearer.…”

“…The demand for ever increasing efficiencies creates a situation where personnel are expected to work shifts of 12-15 hours (Grose, 2013) and therefore decisions are often made under extreme pressure. In addition to this highly pressurised environment, problematic and underdeveloped systems such as those used to size mass-produced (Aldrich 2007;Ashdown 2014) clothing add to the risk that a product line will not sell. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59…”

“…They are historically based on common practice, as data on anthropometric measures from the population were not available to guide the development of the original systems. Further to this techniques and tools applied in modern pattern construction such as standard units of measure are examples of concurrent development which makes evolving theories difficult [2]. Therefore current pattern construction methods exhibit a fair amount of variation, as different practitioners develop independent theories based on their own experiences and fashion influences of the time.…”

“…Therefore current pattern construction methods exhibit a fair amount of variation, as different practitioners develop independent theories based on their own experiences and fashion influences of the time. As patterns are accepted to relate directly to the body and historically have been developed through draping as well as drafting [2][3][4], there is growing recognition that it should be possible to create these shapes directly from the body surface within virtual environments [5,6]. More recently methods have been proposed that provide more technologically developed solutions [7,8] though these still leave questions regarding pattern theory.…”
