Abstract
Anthropometric data and sizing systems is an important component of apparel quality. Apparel can not be top quality unless it fits the potential wearers satisfactorily. Much research has been conducted on this topic area. Some of these research results are documented but scattered. The purpose of this report is to collect these documentation/references for the quick use of apparel researchers who are studying sizing and its related issues. This report presents an annotated bibliography for apparel sizing and related issues. The report lists full bibliographic reference data and a brief abstract or summary for each technical paper or reports, and national and international standards.
