The problem could easily be solved by industry-wide standardization.  Make a set of reference models (hell, NIST could do it), and sell clothes as being designed to be worn on a given reference model.  Then you&#x27;d simply find your closest fit, and buy clothes for that one.  There&#x27;s some precedent here in shoes with the use of lasts of a given size.  I bought dress shoes online recently that fit perfectly, never having tried them on in person, and I was able to do that by looking up the information on the last it was sized on, and comparing that to another shoe that I did have and that I did know which size was correct for me.
