Read the heading before the number
Not automatically. A chart headed body measurements is a reference for a person,not a measured finished-garment width. A trousers guide may use a different definition for an inside-leg length. The selected M&S product records point to different native guide families;one table should not be silently reused for all three.
Do not infer ease
An oversized tee does not provide a numeric ease allowance merely because a body chart exists. The product’s source fit description and any actual garment dimensions are different evidence. We have not laid a tee flat,stretched a waistband or measured a hoodie. Missing finished values remain unknown.
Keep trouser lengths separately scoped
For trousers,retain whether the current native source means a product length or a body reference,and whether a short/regular/long option actually belongs to the selected SKU. Do not attach a general-schoolwear length option to a jogger whose current product only exposes an age label. No interpolation is used to fill a missing mapping.
Ask for an actual missing measurement
When a buying decision depends on a specific finished dimension,ask the maker for that exact product/size measurement. A chart lookup can quote a verified row but cannot certify personal fit. This site does not collect youth body data or turn chart endpoints into individual recommendations.
Apply it to the selected purchase
A table labelled chest normally answers a body-reference question only when its heading says so. It cannot supply the flat half-chest of this unmeasured tee without an actual garment specification.
