Yes, the idealized classical statuary.
Are they really producing clothing made to fit the average body type?
No, lately here in Europe they're not; the situation is desolate especially in Northern Italy and on the Balkan peninsula.
The shops look like a copy, each selling low quality stuff for "young" and skinny. For a mature woman (the body changes as we age) it has become difficult to find a shirt or a gown. Mature men and women are those most willing to spend, having most means (EU), yet, they cannot buy what they want. 15 years ago it was difficult not to spend too much, now it's impossible to buy what you need.
It was not a problem to get a tailored suit for a normal price, now, you cannot find a quality suit off the rack for a decent price (only high end brands producing for export left).
The textile industry in the Southern Europe is in ruins. Now the Spanish are saving the situation, offering modified suits in Berlin for a small surcharge, wonderful selection of materials.
if I find clothes made according to the standardized industry measures they fit perfectly, if not, I have problems, as with the new Levi's cuts.
Well, in a certain sense clothes are mostly produced for the people who buy the most clothes. Maybe that is skinny adolescents, maybe not. But that really isn't the point. The point is that most clothing isn't made for the highly athletic body type because not many people are highly athletic. Whatever the reason, that's just the way it is. Btw, if you don't mind, what part of the Balkans are you from? I've been to many Balkan countries and enjoyed myself very much.
