Project to make the sizes of clothes in uniform fashion to the domestic industry is advancing in 2009, learn more about changes
Former claim to consumers and businesses of clothing, is moving this year to standardize the sizes of clothing and shoes. Often it is necessary to go shopping to find the piece in the right size because the size P of a mark may be higher than that of another or the pair 34 is smaller in the brand famous.

"Gradually we are placing on the market pieces with standard sizes. The socks are in the process should begin in July and to enter the children's clothing, in September, the male and before December, the female," says Roberto Chadad, President the Brazilian Association of Clothing (Abravest).

According Chadad, the process takes a few years but a maximum of three years most of the parts must be within the norm. "Unfortunately we still live a while with piracy, the low quality of products that arrive at irregular country, because the measure is not mandatory. The companies that performed in the standard clothing size bring the stamp of Abravest."

The designer Ana Elisa Pagani da Silva Coelho, 27 years, for example, has trouble finding jeans to their number. "It is difficult to find a pair that is clearly in the body. The majority is too large, and even the brands I have used, tend to have variations in size," she explains, you wear 34. "When you find a pair that I used, often the bar is too long and I have to adjust. In the case of shirts, it is impossible to find in my default, then, opt for pieces of mesh and a half wide races."

Chadad says it is "important that consumers always buy parts within the standard to encourage the manufacturers. The main advantage is that for internet purchases, for example, the consumer will have security that you are ordering an item that meets the specifications of the market and not take a model M less than or greater than the standard. "

The intent to standardize the sizes of the clothes is good for consumers, according to Mark Powder, technical advisor of the Brazilian Institute of Consumer Defense (Idec). "It will help that will buy this for someone who is buying and the Internet, because it facilitates the lives of consumers as they choose, and people will not need to be showing the clothes in stores. We must remember that the stores are only required to exchange the clothes if they have no defect and only if the consumer does not like or when it does not serve, but many adopt the practice of generosity. "

According to Maria Adelina Pereira, manager of the Clothing Committee of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT), although there is a forecast for the entry into force of the pattern. "The standard is voluntary and there is difficulty to give the measures of the body in clothes and monitoring checks the indication of size, but is not given if a specific size dresses different bodies," says Maria Adelina.
