India Develops National Standardized Apparel Sizing Framework Based on Body Measurements
India's Ministry of Textiles is introducing a national apparel sizing framework based on the INDIAsize project, which used 3D body scanning of over 25,000 individuals across six regions. The system aims to standardize clothing sizes like Small, Medium, and Large to improve fit consistency, reduce consumer confusion, and lower return rates. The framework allows brands to maintain design styles while adopting uniform size ranges tailored to Indian body measurements, enhancing the shopping experience nationwide.
