in the yellow seal sample.

>What is Base size?
Pattern grading is the process of developing garment patterns from the Base Size (chosen by the product developer) into other sizes of the same garment (i.e.
additional smaller or larger sizes). Base Size is used in the apparel industry under multiple names including Core Size, Sample Size, Standard Size, etc.
>Where to find the Base Size?
Base Size can be found in Spark in the product’s spec or tech pack. Locate Measurements and then Templates to find the “Base Size for Grading”. In addition, the
Points of Measurements (POM) grid also shows Base Size and highlights the column in Blue. See below example.
1) If Base Size is not indicated OR Spark spec is not available, inspector should use the Base Size as indicated by the Vendor.
2) If the vendor does not indicate Base Size, then inspector must choose the mid-point of a size range (this is NOT the same as “medium”).
a. Example 1: Sizes S, M, L, XL, XXL / One mid-point / Base Size = L
b. Example 2: Sizes S, M, L, XL / Two mid-points / Base Size = the smaller mid-point = M
c. Example 3: Sizes 1X, 2X, 3X / One mid-point / Base Size = 2X
