The European Commission is planning a standard sizing system for clothes which would use centimeters instead of the various dress sizes that are currently in place. There are four different dress size systems used in Europe, and all are different from what is used in the U.S. Member countries will conduct national size surveys so that the new measurements will match the population. Size UK has measured 11,000 U.K. residents. Their study utilized high-tech 3D body scans and the old-fashioned tape measure to track 130 separate measurements for each participant.
