I trust that the SPanish are implementing EN 13402 [European Norm 13402] and not doingf their own thing.
For more about EN 13402, please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EN_13402 ----- Original Message ----- From: STANLEY DOORE To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; U.S. Metric Association Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 2:01 PM Subject: Metric Clothes Sizes Spain plans to standardize clothes sizes for women. Here's an opportunity to go SI (metric) and help everyone worldwide. Metric clothes size standards (proposals) have been around for decades. Why not adopt them? For example, women's dresses could be 36-22-36 for bust-waist-hips in centimeters. Men's hat sizes are already in cm in Europe. Why not make this worldwide so everyone is on the same standard of size and measurement? These SI numbers will tell consumers what will fit them best since each person has a different shape. One size number does not fit everyone's shape. Regards, Stan Doore
