Why do two sweaters both marked "Misses 10" fit differently?

Nearly every manufacturer bases their line of clothing on a different set of basic measurements. Some use a "fit model" to try on their designs to see if they look right. If you are shaped differently than the model, the clothes may not fit you well.
