Next up in Industry 5.0, @QiantongC47555 from @ADEUoM shares ways to enhance the development of bras in adolescent females:

“Bras can give better support to a woman's breasts. Interviews to collect women's views on bras during puberty and anthropometric data analysis can help.”

In Industry 5.0, Hailah, @ADEUoM, shows educational tools that transfer knowledge to the work environment:

“My research leads an educational initiative with tech to transition the fashion industry to a more efficient & sustainable paradigm via pattern engineering.”

The problem with the hands-off approach is that there is zero control and regulation, while manufacturers compete to offer ultra low price. https://t.co/1XV0Kw8edV

@TheMancMensRoom It was a pleasure for the ADE group to deliver 5 bespoke sweatshirts, from body scan to bespoke garments for the men's room. Pleased that @OfficialUoM can support Manchester pride and those preparing to celebrate. We hope the customisation of the sweatshirts goes well.

[Digital Futures UoM @DigitalUoM]

We kick off the afternoon with Simeon Gill from @ADEUoM, presenting some garments created from body scanners! We discuss the implications and benefits using 3D scanning in creating bespoke products and what this means for local manufacture.

@becky_n22 Whilst this is from 2015 there is some further details here on how sizing systems operate, as well as a comparison between retailers sizing over time https://t.co/ki8e4WMFOx
We share your concern about the impact of ready to wear clothing on body image.

[Becky Nicholson @becky_n22]

All 3 skirts are supposedly a Topshop size 10 but in reality they are all different sizes 🤷🏻‍♀️ No wonder people develop issues with how they view their body when one shop can’t be consistent with its own sizing, let alone with other retailers 😤
