ASTM D7197/D7197M-21

4.1?The use of the body measurement information in Table 1 and Table 2 will assist manufacturers in the development of patterns and garments that are consistent with the current anthropometric characteristics of the population of interest. This practice in turn should reduce or minimize consumer confusion and dissatisfaction related to apparel sizing. (Also refer to ISO Size Designation Procedures.)

1.1?This standard table lists the body measurements of pregnant women from misses size two to twenty-two. Although these are body measurements, they can be used in designing apparel for women in this size range when such factors as fabric type, ease of body movement, styling, and fit are taken into account.

1.2?The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.

1.3?This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
