Measured For Change
Help us create a new set of measurements to reflect the changes in women’s bodies as they age.
We’re committed to challenging the frustration of variation in clothing sizes.
A collaboration between One P Design, Whitehouse Institute of Design & Fourt2 Consulting
The Problem
There is no current data on the changing dimensions of a woman’s body to inform clothing design. This results in challenges for customers, designers and retailers.
Our Aim Is To Find A Solution
To help better understand the changing shape and size of women throughout their adult life, we are asking you to capture the body measurements of women in your life aged between 20 and 70 years.
Giving Back
$0.50 will be donated to Gidget Foundation for every individual measurement received*.
*Capped at $1,000.
