1. What is the Pant Size Calculator?

The Pant Size Calculator estimates women's pant size based on height and weight measurements. It uses standardized sizing charts and algorithms to provide a general size recommendation.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses BMI (Body Mass Index) and height adjustments to estimate pant size:

Where:

• \( \text{BMI} = \frac{\text{weight (lbs)}}{\text{height (in)}^2} \times 703 \)
• Base size determined by BMI category
• Final size adjusted for height (petite, regular, or tall)

Explanation: The calculation accounts for both body proportions (through BMI) and height to estimate the most likely pant size.

3. Importance of Accurate Sizing

Details: Proper pant sizing ensures comfort, fit, and appearance. This calculator provides a starting point for online shopping or when trying new brands.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter height in inches (48-84) and weight in pounds (80-350). For most accurate results, measure your height without shoes and use your current weight.
