The Hohenstein Institute, based in Bönnigheim, has carried out a series of measurements on babies and small children for the first time. The aim was to improve the particularly demanding pattern development and fit assessment of children’s clothing.
According to the company, Hohenstein has closed a large gap in the German market by measuring the body measurements of small children and babies. A total of 5626 girls and boys in sizes 56 to 182 were measured with 3D scans. The 3D body data form an indispensable basis for customer-specific measurement tables, child-friendly cuts and grading, optimal fits and 3D children’s avatars for the simulation of clothing. Manufacturers can now use this knowledge to design their children’s clothing efficiently, efficiently and sustainably by means of fit testing and cut optimization.
Hohenstein has been recording body measurements for all target groups since 1957. Through the regular series of measurements, which have been carried out for over 20 years on the basis of 3D body scans, changes in body measurements can be tracked and the collections adapted accordingly.
Hohenstein offers other services in the area of children’s clothing, such as risk assessments and safety checks according to various DIN norms and standards.
