Measurement-based fit demonstration

Watch a size get calculated.

Every garment, shopper and return below is fictional, from an imaginary label called Maison Halden. The calculation is the real SizeMemo engine, running in your browser.

High confidence

Size L gives the closest match to your measurements and fit preference: chest +10.5 cm (within the target 9 to 15 cm); waist +16 cm (within the target 10 to 18 cm); sleeve +2 cm (within the target -1 to 2.5 cm). Confidence: high.

Explanation assembled directly from the calculation below. Every compared measurement falls inside the target range.

Every size, scored

Penalty = cm outside the target range × weight (snug is weighted ×1.5 because a garment that is too small can't be worn). Lowest penalty wins; near-ties follow your fit preference.

Limitations of this recommendation
  • Recommendations compare published garment measurements with the measurements you provide. They do not measure your body.
  • Self-measurement error of 1–2 cm is common and can change the result near a size boundary.
  • Fabric drape, stretch recovery, posture and personal taste are not fully captured by measurements.
  • Garment measurements carry manufacturing tolerances, typically ±1–2 cm per point of measure.

From returns to a sizing flag

How recurring feedback exposed the Linden shirt.

01

Read what customers wrote

Returns arrive as free text. Amazon Bedrock assigns each comment a fit category and the body area it mentions, with a confidence score. Uncertain ones go to a person.

Check the tape measure

Independently, Linden's chest is compared with the brand's regular shirt block (tolerance ±2 cm).

Flag only when both agree

Chest / bust measures on average 5 cm smaller than the Shirting & tops — Regular block in sizes S, M, L, XL, and 94% of fit-related returns are classified "too small" (most often at the chest). Recommend checking a physical sample against spec.

It's a potential inconsistency: the next step is a person measuring a physical sample. Meanwhile, the recommendation engine already uses Linden's real measurements, so shoppers are steered to the right size.
