A clothing store clerk measures a specified part of the purchaser's body,
Clothes were created based on the measurement data, and after completion, the clothes were tried on by the purchaser. If there is a subtle difference in dimensions at the time of this try-on, a large burden will be imposed on both the clothing store and the purchaser.

[0003] Recently, in the commercial transaction of clothing-related products performed through a communication network, as seen in television shopping and catalog sales, a purchaser can reduce the size of the product presented by the seller and other information to his or her own size. We judge whether it fits and purchase. However, the content of the product size presented by the seller varies depending on the seller, and it is not always guaranteed that the product of the same size display is appropriate for the physical constitution of the purchaser. This is due to the fact that the contents of the size presented by the seller vary depending on the seller, and that the purchaser differs in the appropriate size such as sleeve length, collar circumference, chest measurement, etc. depending on the individual.
