Clothes and accessories are sold to consumers in a size range based on specific body measurements. Clothing and accessories are usually sized according to each manufacturer's customer base. Guidelines for clothing size ranges are Infants, Children (girls/boys), Boys, Juniors, Women's (Misses, Petite, Tall, Plus Size), and Men's (Regular, Big, Tall). (See appendix 8 for other product sizes ranges.)
