The Process
Apparel sizing and fit impacts every part of the apparel life cycle. At Alvanon, we focus on the underlying body, onto which apparel is created. We translate all available, relevant data into actionable results and strategies and develop tools for standardization to enable sizing and fit consistency over time.
The Road to Standardization
Sizing and repeatable fit consistency are age old industry challenges that many brands face and for which they're seeking solutions. We've sequenced the elements of sizing standardization and offer a range of comprehensive solutions.

Deliverables: Core Size Virtual AlvaForm and Core Size Physical AlvaFormA Fit Standard Validation is a comprehensive review of a brand’s corporate apparel fit standard compared to it's target demographic.
This review helps determine whether the fit standard is still valid and whether or not improvements can be made. The review includes an analysis of fit forms/avatars, fit models, size charts, size ranges, key garment growth intervals, sales by size, and alpha-numeric size correlations in the context of the target customer demographic and the competitive market landscape to recommend the ideal Fit Standard.

Deliverables: Specs & Charts Full Size Set - Actual Images of Bodies and FormsThe 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. They enable garment designers and technologists to create, develop, fit, and share their designs on avatars developed based on the brand’s target consumer population and core size.

Deliverables: AlvaBlocksStandard 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.
