Alpha sizing uses labels such as S–XL; numeric sizing uses a numbered system.
Body measurements and finished-garment measurements describe different things and should be recorded separately. A fit review needs the intended wearer profile, measurement methods, and approved reference size; extrapolating from one body or size can miss important proportion differences. Publish body measurements to clarify your actual fit.
