     Women's clothing is traditionally designed in size five, and then scaled
upwards and downwards as necessary, usually by linear rescaling of the 
pattern.  Two consequences of this are that women's clothing fits best in
size five and that figure models have to be size five.  The Fashion 
Institute of Technology in New York has been working on developing better
ways to scale clothing up and down, but the industry has been slow to adopt
newer techniques.
