scope:

1.1 In these tables, body measurements of adult female plus women's figure type sizes 14W-40W are listed. Although these are body measurements, they can be used as a baseline in designing apparel for plus women in this size range when considering such factors as fabric type ease for body movement, styling, and fit.

1.2 These tables list body measurements for the complete range of plus women sizing.

1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
