Something worth reading
I came across this blog entry on DressADay.com and found it very interesting. It quotes a paper that summarizes the US's attempts during the last 50 years at standardizing dress sizes and clothes that fit.
I think it's a big pity that it was only voluntary and obviously never caught on.
