One size fits all? Its been so for a decade now
Style and fashion have been constantly changing for centuries for a myriad of reasons. But what is the single most important factor in deciding on the ‘in’ style? It’s you!
We are living in a world where clothes are being made to fit all sizes, shapes, and personalities. The perfect piece that was originally tailored for someone with an entirely different body might just be your dream come true if you're broad shouldered with long arms or tall with a short torso. It's never been easier to find clothing that fits both your personality and your body type because there is now over 2 trillion combinations of customisation to choose from - not one!
Technology has caused this radical change in the garment industry. With the introduction of 3D printing, specialist tailors can create garments that are uniquely made for as many people as possible. From customising a t-shirt with a colourful logo to a skirt to fit your curvaceous hips, fashion has never been easier!
There have been many bold experiments in customisation over the last few years - and we are seeing more and more retailers taking up the challenge. Take Topman which recently tested whether they could successfully customise a one chest size range from sizes 6-26. How truly daring!
So what does the future hold for how we customise our clothes? Will it be easier than ever to find that perfect fit for your personality and body type? Or will a shift in the fashion industry cause people to become more selective about their purchases - opting out of a customised garment if they feel they can’t afford the expense. How will things change if an item gets popular enough that it's modified beyond recognition and changes the way you view clothing forever?
Check back next week for part 2 where we explore whether or not clothing is an art form, or just another commodity.

Conclusion
Firstly, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read my article.
As a writer who started his career with a blog that's now on its deathbed, I'm well aware of how difficult it is for fledgling bloggers to gain readers - and how easy it is for them to throw in the towel and give up.
It's been more than a year since I started blogging about alternative clothing sizing - first with my Big Fat Blog, followed by this blog.
