I find it interesting that this article focussed on waist size as the issue. I mean I assume they know what they’re talking about since I know nothing about women’s clothing but I had always assumed the body shape thing at the end was the most important problem

    My read was that waist size is the issue because the manufacturers have made it the issue. The idea you can derive the other dimensions as a function of waist size is clearly an assumption that has a limited range of validity, and there hasn't been a broader effort to come up with something better.
