GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Danish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / relates to clothing sizes
Danish term or phrase: målstrækning
This comes in the heading of a table, as part of the specifications for sewing women's trousers:

Målskema, målstrækninger

Along the top line are all the basic sizes - 34, 36, 38, 40 etc.

Down the side is a column-heading: Målstrækninger
Then in the column below, going down:
Livviddde
Sædevidde
Knævidde
...
And all the other measurements, which are then given for each of the sizes.

Each measurement is given as an 'absolute' for each size - there are no ranges.

It's Friday and my brain's numb after finding the rest of the terminology... So you'll really make my weekend if you know the answer!
