Summary:A wearable stretchable tight-fitting garment 110 for measuring various dimensions of an individual for, the wearable stretchable tight-fitting garment expands to fit the individual precisely and the expansion causes stretchable strain sensors 122 affixed to the garment to strain providing measurements of size for the individual for specific body locations, the body measurements are transmitted to a control device 300 (Figure 3) which are further transmitted from the control device a communication network. Garment suppliers can then provide garments that are optimised for the measured dimensions of the individual and deliver the optimised garments to the individual without the individual having to wear the garments to test for suitability of fit. The sensors may be printed on the garment, alternatively they may be glued or stitched. The sensors may communicate with the control unit via conductors or may use short or long range communication methods. The sensors may be encapsulated in a polymer protective layer.
