Beyond Mainstream Sizing: A Systematic Review of Inclusive Measurement Charts with Emphasis on Dwarfism

Author(s) Ms. Mansi Pandya, Prof. Dr. Anshu Sharma
Country India
Abstract This systematic literature review critically examines the development of inclusive measurement charts for individuals with dwarfism, moving beyond conventional mainstream sizing standards. A structured search across ProQuest, Emerald, ResearchGate, Science Direct and Academia and Google Scholar was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Ten studies, published between 2000 and 2024, were selected using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria and assessed for quality via the CASP checklist. The findings were synthesized using the TCCM (Theory, Context, Characteristics, Methodology) framework.
The literature reveals that traditional sizing models often exclude individuals with atypical anthropometric proportions, emphasizing height adjustments rather than comprehensive proportionality. Emerging research indicates progress in specialized sizing for short stature populations, yet significant gaps persist in data collection, industry adoption, and adaptive clothing design. This review highlights the necessity of dynamic sizing systems, dedicated anthropometric databases, and stronger collaborations among researchers, designers, and advocacy groups. Bridging these gaps is vital to foster an inclusive fashion environment where all body types, including those with dwarfism, are equitably represented and accommodated.
