Body Scanning, Sizing and Virtual Fit
You take one trouser order and one inherited size chart. You find where a brand's sizes really came from. You see what a body scan measures and what it cannot, and why ease is a decision rather than a fit fact. You see why fit complaints gather at the ends of a range, what a wrong size curve costs before the order ships, and what a virtual fit map is entitled to claim.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can take a style from a digital pattern to an approved virtual fit, judge what a 3D sample can and cannot settle, and rebuild a sampling calendar around the rounds you no longer need to ship.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a sizing file for one range. You run a five-question audit of where the chart came from. You read a scan study for what it can and cannot settle, with a measured scan-to-tape gap. You write an ease policy held absolute or relative across the range. You check a grade rule against measured bodies. You price a size curve as markdown you have already bought. And you write a rule for reading a fit map.
