The INDIAsize project, a national sizing survey spearheaded by India's National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), addresses the poor fit of apparel for the Indian population, a group underrepresented in global sizing data. Its core is the quantitative collection of numerous body measurements from thousands of Indians using 3D body scanners and traditional anthropometry. This vast numerical dataset is statistically analyzed to create a comprehensive Indian anthropometric database.
