Abstract
The aim of this paper is to understand the effects of the interaction between clothes, body shape and measurements and how it affects 3 subjects with different body mass index. Also, it wishes to observe the application of a mixed, qualitative/quantitative scientific methodology. The plus size public, despite being already majority in many countries is still seen as a niche market. This is a promising and lucrative market and many companies are looking to embrace it. The increase in the quality of the clothing products depends on the knowledge development in several areas among which the ergonomics and anthropometry. The results indicate the statistical and morphological variation between the groups and within the groups, and in the visual analysis.
