Compression Pattern Reduction: Why One Ratio Does Not Fit Every Size

Pattern reduction is the difference between a target body dimension and the corresponding relaxed garment dimension.

Compression Test Reports: Pressure Maps, Body Forms and Conditions

Yoga Wear Factory Selection: Leggings, Sports Bras, and Sets

The yoga wear factory is chosen by the movement: the leggings must survive the stretch, the sports bra must hold the support, and the set must move as one, so the selection runs on the fabric, the construction, and the fit before the price.
