There are a large number of standard sizing systems around the world for various garments, such as dresses, tops, skirts, and trousers. Made-to-order garments require measurements to be taken, but these do not need to be converted into national standard form.
Users can create a list of all Sizes to be used in Size Ranges and Size Charts. Users can define the sizes manually or import them from an external source to ensure consistency across systems.
Sizes have now (Centric 8 version 6.0 and above) been enhanced to differentiate between one and two-dimensional sizes. The New Size dialog box now provides a check box (Boolean attribute) called Two-Dimensional that toggles 1-D and 2-D behavior. Sizes have a new enumeration called Dimension Type that must be defined for all sizes.

The number of results displayed in the table depends on the number specified in the
