台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是：

After that, men's suit sizes were based on the chest measurement and the rest was calculated accordingly, assuming that their bodies were in proportion. The demands for mass production of uniforms escalated and ready-made clothing became really popular. By the end of the nineteenth century, most people were wearing ready-made clothes.
在那之后，男装的尺码就根据胸围大小来分，然后认定身体的各个部位呈固定比例，并依照胸围来计算其他部位的尺寸。而量产军服的需求越来越大，成衣因而变得非常受欢迎。到了十九世纪末，大多数的人都穿成衣。
