The present invention is a system and method for custom tailoring and manufacturing apparel by using numerous try-on apparels of differing, predetermined dimensions to make a finished product. A system is used to keep track of the number of try-on apparels and each of their dimensions. As a consumer tries on one of these try-on apparels, a device associated with the system is used to collect the consumer's responses about fit. If one try-on apparel does not fit, the system suggest a next one to try, according to pre-defined rules. When a particular try-on apparel's fit has been approved for purchase by the consumer, this is reported to a manufacturing system, where a piece of apparel corresponding to the dimensions of the approved try-on apparel is cut, stitched, treated, and shipped as a finished apparel.
A try-on apparel for use with a plurality of other try-on apparel, each of which differ from the others in at least one critical dimension, and a custom tailoring and manufacturing system having a means for storing predetermined apparel patterns, each try-on apparel corresponding to a unique predetermined apparel pattern stored in the custom tailoring and manufacturing system, said try-on apparel comprising:
The try-on apparel of claim I wherein the dimensions of said workpieces are calculated using a conventional scaling system along with a two step process in which a key grade point is held constant and the remaining dimensions are normally graded to form a base pattern followed by normal scaling of the base pattern to form a pattern for the workpieces used to construct the try-on apparel.
