Editorial Policy

At DiscoverFashions, we take our responsibility to provide accurate, helpful information seriously. This editorial policy outlines how we create, review, and maintain our tools and content.

How We Build Our Tools

Our fashion tools are built with accuracy and usability as top priorities:

• Research Foundation: Every calculator is based on established body shape classification systems used in academic research and the fashion industry
• Algorithm Validation: Our calculation methods are tested against known examples and validated by comparing results with professional assessments
• User Testing: Before launch, tools undergo testing with real users to ensure clarity and accuracy
• Privacy by Design: All body measurements are processed locally in your browser; we never store personal measurement data

Content Standards

All written content on DiscoverFashions adheres to these standards:

Source Selection

We carefully select and verify our sources:

• Academic research on body shape classification and anthropometry
• Fashion industry standards and professional styling guidelines
• International sizing standards from brands and regulatory bodies
• Expert opinions from certified personal stylists and fashion educators

Review and Update Process

We maintain content quality through regular reviews:

• Regular Audits: All tools and major content pieces are reviewed quarterly for accuracy
• User Feedback: We actively incorporate user feedback to improve accuracy and clarity
• Industry Updates: When sizing standards or best practices change, we update our tools accordingly
• Transparency: Significant changes are documented in our Changelog

Corrections Policy

We are committed to correcting errors promptly:

• Factual errors are corrected as soon as they are identified
• Significant corrections are noted in the content and logged in our changelog
• Minor typos and formatting issues are fixed without notation

Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure

DiscoverFashions is supported by advertising through Google AdSense. This advertising does not influence our editorial content, tool development, or recommendations. We maintain a strict separation between advertising and editorial functions.

Limitations

While we strive for accuracy, our tools have inherent limitations:

• Body shape calculators provide general classifications, not precise styling rules
• Size conversions are approximations as brands vary significantly
• Style recommendations are starting points, not absolute rules

Personal style is ultimately about what makes you feel confident. Our tools provide guidance, but you are always the final arbiter of what works for you.
