Abstract
Fruit da Vida is a revolutionary method of clothing design that focuses on fitting and accentuating the true female form. Fruita realizes women's frustrations in locating ready-to-wear clothing that fits their shape. Presents a method of sizing based on body "shapes": pear, apple, banana, and strawberry to accommodate the needs of female shoppers.
