Very interesting article. I sometimes have to buy clothes for my elderly mobility-impaired aunt. At first I thought I could just go buy a bunch of “Size (whatever)” but as this article says that doesn’t work. So I took the pants that fit her best, measured it all over with a tape-measure, and went into the store. That STILL didn’t work because some pants “sit higher/lower” or had elastic that changed the way it fit.
When I was a kid we didn’t have a lot of money and clothes were more expensive. So various members of our extended family would make clothes for us (sewing or knitting). I now appreciate how awesome that was.
