Claim:
A method for adjusting standard body size charts in a digital computer to produce a user customized size chart, comprising the steps of: providing a computer user interface having means for inputting at least one of a user's body shape selected from Misses, Women's, Men's, Girl's and Boys; when Misses' or Women's is input, inputting further data consisting of upper body size, lower body size, height and fullness; when Men's is input, inputting further data consisting of chest size, waist size, height and fullness; when one of Boy's or Girl's is input, inputting further data consisting of upper body size, lower body size, height and fullness; selecting and inputting one of an standard size charts correlated to the input selection of Misses', Women's, Men's, Girl's and Boy's; calculating a linear extrapolation multiple to sizes other than those provided on the selected table when a selected body size or chest size is outside of a size range on the selected chart and calculating a new chart using a highest or lowest set of size measurements on the selected chart when the user's inputs upper body size is larger or smaller than corresponding largest or lowest measurements on the selected chart using whole number multiples of the extrapolation multiple; calculating an alternate lower body or waist size by applying a larger size chart for lower body measurements when a larger lower body size than upper body size has been selected inclusive of a converse selection; modifying vertical body measurements from the selected chart by a positive vertical factor when a user height selection indicating a tall user is selected and by a negative vertical factor when a short user height is selected; modifying girth, size from the selected chart by a positive girth factor when a slender user fullness is selected and a negative girth factor when a large user fullness is selected; and outputting a user customized size chart in human readable form including the modified lower body size, vertical body, sizes and girth sizes.
