Danish term

målstrækning

Danish to English Tech/Engineering Textiles / Clothing / Fashion relates to clothing sizes
This comes in the heading of a table, as part of the specifications for sewing women's trousers:

Målskema, målstrækninger

Along the top line are all the basic sizes - 34, 36, 38, 40 etc.

Down the side is a column-heading: Målstrækninger
Then in the column below, going down:
Livviddde
Sædevidde
Knævidde
...
And all the other measurements, which are then given for each of the sizes.

Each measurement is given as an 'absolute' for each size - there are no ranges.

It's Friday and my brain's numb after finding the rest of the terminology... So you'll really make my weekend if you know the answer!

Thanks to J�rgen and BLANGSTED too
Christine Andersen (asker) Jan 27, 2006:
Brilliant suggestion, J�rgen - it could be the actual garment measurements as opposed to the respective body measurements.
Jørgen Madsen Jan 27, 2006:
Could it be "m�lestr�kning"? (If so, see www.ordbogen.com)

Thank you
agree Helen Johnson : I'd have thought so (as far as I know, size refers to the final 'size' made up).
