Size Charts Guide

Understanding Size Charts

A size chart in SizeMind contains the measurement specifications for each size of your products. The recommendation engine uses these measurements to match customer body dimensions to the right size.

Creating a Size Chart

Basic Information

When creating a new chart, you'll need to provide:

• Name: A descriptive name (e.g., "Women's Bodysuit", "Men's T-Shirts")
• Description: Optional notes about the chart
• Measurement Unit: Centimeters (cm) or Inches (in)

Garment Type

Choose the garment type that best matches your products. This helps the algorithm prioritize the right measurements:

Measurement Type

This is important: are your size charts based on body measurementsor garment dimensions?

• Body Measurements: The customer's actual body dimensions. Most size charts from brands use body measurements (e.g., "fits chest 92-98cm").
• Garment Dimensions: The actual measurements of the clothing item. Some suppliers provide garment flat measurements instead.

Entering Size Data

Using Measurement Ranges

For each size, you can enter minimum and maximum values for each measurement. Using ranges gives better recommendations:

• Single value: Chest 95cm → Only exact matches
• Range: Chest 92-98cm → Catches customers in that range

Required vs. Informational Fields

Size charts have two types of fields:

• Sizing Fields (used by the algorithm): Chest, Waist, Hips, Height, Weight
• Informational Fields (display only): Length, Sleeve Length, Shoulder Width, Inseam

Informational fields are shown in the size table but don't affect recommendations.

Importing Size Charts

CSV Import

Upload a CSV file with your size data. Expected format:

Size,Chest Min,Chest Max,Waist Min,Waist Max,Hips Min,Hips Max XS,80,84,60,64,86,90 S,84,88,64,68,90,94 M,88,92,68,72,94,98 L,92,96,72,76,98,102 XL,96,100,76,80,102,106

HTML Table Import

Copy and paste a size table from your supplier's website. SizeMind will attempt to parse the HTML and extract size data automatically.

1. Find your supplier's size chart on their website
2. Select and copy the table (Ctrl/Cmd + C)
3. In SizeMind, go to your size chart and click "Import"
4. Select "Paste HTML" and paste the content
5. Review the parsed data and make any corrections

Sizing Strategies

SizeMind uses different algorithms depending on your product type:

Largest Wins (Default)

Recommends the size where all measurements fit. If chest says M and waist says L, it recommends L to ensure everything fits. Best for most regular clothing.

Weighted Average

Calculates a weighted average across all measurements. Each garment type has different weights (e.g., bottoms prioritize waist/hips over chest).

Weighted Shapewear

Strict sizing with penalties for being outside the range. Designed for compression garments where exact fit is critical.

Smallest Wins

For oversized/loose fits where you want the smallest size that works.

Alternative Size Settings

Control whether to show an alternative size when customers are "between sizes":

• Show Alternative Size: Enable/disable the feature
• Only When Between Sizes: Only show when within overlap range
• Respect Fit Preference: Consider customer's tight/regular/loose preference

Testing Your Chart

Every size chart has a built-in testing tool. Before going live:

1. Open your size chart in edit mode
2. Scroll to the "Test Your Chart" section
3. Enter sample measurements
4. Verify the recommendation makes sense
5. Test edge cases (very small, very large, between sizes)
