Detailed Body Growth Chart & Virtual AlvaForm Size Sets

Deliverables: Specs & Charts Full Size Set - Actual Images of Bodies and Forms

The Body Growth Chart is the foundation for 3D, Virtual AlvaForms. A full Body Growth Chart starts with the key growth intervals from the size chart, identified in the Fit Standard Validation, and incorporates data to develop up to 30 detailed measurements that indicate how bodies get bigger and smaller relative to your standard base size.

The Body Growth Chart can be used to develop Virtual Size Set AlvaForms and provide a basis for Garment Grade Development.

The Virtual AvalForm ensures consistency in fit and size at every level of the design, development, production, and quality processes.

Standard Blocks for Standard Series AlvaForms

Deliverables: AlvaBlocks

Standard Series Blocks are base level patterns created specifically for AlvaForms and are the cornerstone of a standardized product development process. These pattern templates address key parameters that ensure garments are perfectly balanced and technically well-fitted.

Inaccuracies are the primary reason why development samples are rejected. During the product development process, Standard Blocks are used to create the best fitting style pattern for the AlvaForm. The AlvaForm is used as the fit standard for sample evaluation. Standard Blocks ensure your vendor base has the right tools to create accurate fit samples the first time, resulting in a shortened product development timeline.
