Systems, methods, apparatuses and articles of manufacture for garment construction and size selection are disclosed.

Images can be used to determine the size of an article of clothing matching the physical characteristics of a user. An image can include an article of clothing known to fit well or a representation of a body part, which can comprise the body part itself. Images can also include a reference item. Various techniques are used to determine one or more perspective distortions in the image based on analysis of the reference item and information known about the reference item. The one or more perspective distortions can be accounted for to determine physical characteristics of the article of clothing or the body part associated with the article of clothing. The physical characteristics can be used to determine the size of an article of clothing matching, or corresponding to, the physical characteristics.

A system and method is provided for representing fitting of clothing for a plurality of users. At least one processor accesses database(s) that includes clothing information representing articles of clothing and fit information representing fitting of at least some of the articles of clothing on respective persons. A graphical user interface is operable on a mobile computing device that includes at least one electronic prompt for users to submit for clothing information and fit information. Clothing information and fit information received from a plurality of user computing devices and in response to at least one prompt in the graphical user interface is stored in the database(s). At least some the clothing information and fit information is processed to determine a value representing the fit of the article of clothing with at least one person, information associated with the value is transmitted to at least one computing device.

Methods and systems for manufacture of a garment are disclosed, in particular for generating fabrication data for manufacture of a garment, where said garment is for regulation of a body region of a wearer of the garment. Measurement data for the body region of the wearer is obtained, and the measurement data is modified to simulate a regulating effect for the garment. The modified measurement data is used to generate the fabrication data for manufacturing the garment. The measurement data may be obtained for an unregulated state of the body region of the wearer, the measurement data may be modified to simulate a regulated state of the body region of the wearer. An initial form of the garment may be manufactured using the fabrication data, and the measurement data used to obtain a three-dimensional model of the body region. The initial form of the garment may then be compared to the three-dimensional model; and the comparison used to modify the initial form of the garment.

A tailor ruler includes a transparent substrate includes a series of scales, a series of parallel lines and a series of longitudinal lines respectively formed thereon, wherein the series of parallel lines and the series of longitudinal lines respectively perpendicularly correspond to one another. Each of the parallel lines and the longitudinal lines respectively has a series of reference lines formed thereof. Each intersection of the parallel lines and the longitudinal lines is formed with an identifying point. An anti-slip layer is disposed on the back surface of the transparent substrate, wherein the anti-slip layer is disposed along an edge of the transparent substrate. The anti-slip layer contains countless sharp particles, wherein the sharp particles are partially exposed relative to a surface of the anti-slip layer for promoting a fraction force of the anti-slip layer and enhancing an anti-slip effect of the tailor ruler.

Techniques for extraction of body parameters, dimensions and shape of a customer are presented herein. A model descriptive of a garment, a corresponding calibration factor and reference garment shapes can be assessed. A garment shape corresponding to the three-dimensional model can be selected from the reference garment shapes based on a comparison of the three-dimensional model with the reference garment shapes. A reference feature from the plurality of reference features may be associated with the model feature. A measurement of the reference feature may be calculated based on the association and the calibration factor. The computed measurement can be stored in a body profile associated with a user. An avatar can be generated for the user based on the body profile and be used to show or indicate fit of a garment, as well as make fit and size recommendations.
