Hohenstein has conducted the first-ever measurement series on babies and toddlers to improve garment sizing for children.
Based on regular serial measurements taken with 3D body scans, Hohenstein is now closing a large gap in the German market for the first time. 5626 girls and boys in sizes 56 to 182 were measured which means that 3D scans of infants are available for the first time.
The 3D body data forms an indispensable basis for customer-specific measurement tables, child-friendly patterns and gradings, optimal fits as well as 3D children’s avatars for the simulation of clothing.
The data, as per Hohenstein, will aid the pattern development and fit assessment that is particularly challenging for children’s clothing. The new database will help fashion brands and manufacturers design their children’s clothing in an accurate, efficient and more sustainable way using fit testing and pattern optimisation.
It’s pertinent to mention here that Hohenstein is the leading Germany-based specialised company in testing, certification and research of textile products which has also been involved in taking body measurements for all target groups since 1957.
