Editor's Notes

  1. Kidsize provides size advice according to the brand (to be worn right now) and to parents (usually allowing for growth) as well as fit predictions. Size recommendation is given as traffic lights with colour coded information. (Screenshots). Different areas considered for different garments, different areas are shown for different garments. Fit predictions are especially important when you have to compromise on fit in order to buy the garment. The two brands who participated in the project were interested in both types of information being given. Unsatisfied expectations.

Fit predictions are especially important when you have to compromise on fit in order to buy the garment. The two brands who participated in the project were interested in both types of information being given. Unsatisfied expectations.
  4. Our algorithms were trained using experimental data from over 1100 fit trials. 11 garments of different types where provided in all their size spans by two childrenswear brands (French and Spanish). 160 children aged 0-12 y.o. and their parents voluntarily participated in the fit trials. Children were measured using traditional methods (0-3 y.o.) or using Vitus XXL 3D body scanner (3-12 y.o.). At each fit trial, the size was evaluated by a fashion expert and by parents who declared if they would pick the size or not. Moreover, the expert also assessed the fit at the relevant body areas. These areas were defined were depending on the type of garment.  
  5. We chose to use Ordinal Logistic Regression Models with Stepwise variable selection. A total of 12 different models were defined according to: the source of advice (brand and parents), the age (babies 0-3 y.o. and children 3-12 y.o.) and the type of garment (upper body, lower body and full body). In addition two models (one for babies and one for children) were also defined for each of the 19 body fit areas (38 fit-by-area models in total). The expert rules that applied to the output probabilities of the models were very simple: The recommended size was the biggest size with good fit. If the child was between two sizes (there is no size with a clear good fit), the recommended size was the bigger of the two. If all sizes were big or all sizes were small, the system would not recommend any size. The parents’ advice was always equal or one size bigger than the experts’.
  6. 19 and 36 body dimensions had been measured respectively for babies and children. The original measurement sets were reduced to 9 variables by the stepwise variable selection (figure 6).
  7. Expert size != parent size ... Probabilities are consistent Colour coded answers. Child is between sizes Every time the parent clicks on the Kidsize button, the child tries on all the sizes of the garment.
  8. Only size with all ‘Good’ areas Expert probabilities != parent probs although recommended size is the same
  9. In order to assess the reliability of the size advices provided by Kidsize Solution, we made a test involving a group of volunteers meeting the target customer profile: parents with one or more children that sometimes buy childrenswear online. 30 children (23 parents) participated in the test. They were selected to have a gender- and age-balanced sample (10 children aged 0-2 years old, 10 children aged 3-7, and 10 children aged 8-12).   The childrenswear brands participating in the project (Bóboli and Sucre d’Orge) provided 19 different garments (figure 8) in all the available sizes for the testing. The tests took place at two locations: at a Bóboli shop located in a mall (C.C. Bonaire) in Valencia (figure 9) and at a simulated multi-brand shop at IBV facilities. We prepared a fully working online demo shop including the Kidsize add-on button in the product selection page so that the participants could use it on a tablet during the tests (figure 9). Temporarily, Kidsize app was uploaded to Google Play in order to facilitate its distribution to the testers (figure 9). During the test, each participant was asked to use the Kidsize app to measure his/her child and to go shopping four garments at the online demo shop. The four selected garments were randomly assigned to each participant according to a balanced design of experiments. For each of the garments evaluated, the parents tested first the size (or sizes) advised by Kidsize (expert’s and parents) and were encouraged to test other sizes. Then, the parents were requested to pick one size for wearing the garment straight way and to pick the size that they would buy (usually letting room for the child to grow); they were allowed to select the same size in both cases. At the end of the test, they were also requested to answer some questions about their experience using Kidsize.  
  10. The reliability of the size advice provided by Kidsize was compared with the available alternatives, i.e. a size guide based on children stature provided by the brands, and the labelling of garment sizes, which uses the ages as reference. Results are presented in Table 4. Regarding the subjective evaluation, Kidsize solution was positively assessed by parents, who found it very promising for resolving their concerns when buying without trying on the garments. In general, it was considered very useful, reliable and easy-to-use. Some of the respondents requested a similar tool for adults.
