1. What is the Size Calculation?

The dress size calculation uses the average of bust, waist, and hip measurements to determine an appropriate clothing size. This method provides a more accurate fit than using single measurements alone.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the average formula:

Where:

• \( Bust \) — Bust measurement in centimeters
• \( Waist \) — Waist measurement in centimeters
• \( Hips \) — Hip measurement in centimeters

Explanation: The equation calculates the average of three key body measurements to determine an appropriate dress size.

3. Importance of Accurate Measurements

Details: Proper measurements ensure better clothing fit, reduce returns, and improve overall satisfaction with purchased garments.
