A tee, a bikini, a dog collar, and a UK-to-US conversion are not the same table. Each gets its own template. The recommender, though, asks the same questions everywhere, and we say where that helps and where it does not.
Recommender suited
The category the recommender was built for.
Tops, bottoms, and dresses are where height, weight, and fit preference actually predict a size. Five templates cover the usual grid, each in centimeters and inches, and the recommender reasons against whichever chart you published for that product.
What usually goes wrong
Vanity sizing drifting between your own lines
Woven and knit behaving differently at the same measurement
Shoppers ordering two sizes intending to keep one
Templates included

Men's Tops
Women's Tops
Men's Bottoms
Women's Bottoms
Dress
Metric and imperial versions of each
The recommender here
Fully applicable. Height, weight, age, fit preference, and gender map well onto an apparel size grid.

Three dedicated templates, because a dress size will not do.
Bra and bikini sizing needs its own columns, so it gets its own templates rather than being forced into an apparel grid. The recommender does not ask for bust or underbust measurements, so this category is best served by a precise chart.
What usually goes wrong
Cup sizing that does not track band sizing
One-pieces needing torso length the chart rarely lists
Hygiene rules making returns expensive for you

Bra
Bikini Top
Bikini Bottom

Not tailored to this category yet. It asks the same five apparel questions everywhere, so the size chart is the tool we would lean on here.

Conversion charts today, not a fit quiz.
Shoe templates exist and handle the scale conversions your shoppers arrive confused by. The recommender is not one of the tools here: it asks for height and weight, which say nothing useful about a foot. So footwear gets the chart, not the quiz.
What usually goes wrong
US, EU, and UK conversions that disagree with each other
Width almost never published anywhere
Half sizes missing on some models but not others

Men's Shoes

Four age bands, because a label is not a measurement.
Baby, toddler, kids clothing, and kids shoes each get their own template, with the baby chart carrying weight as well as height. Parents are shopping for someone who is not in the room, so a clear chart does more here than a quiz aimed at adult proportions.
What usually goes wrong
Age labels meaning different things brand to brand
Parents deliberately sizing up for growing room
Height bands overlapping across ranges

Two templates built around girth, not breed.
Pet clothing and collar templates give owners the measurements that actually decide the purchase. The recommender does not cover pets, so the chart is the tool: make the girth and neck columns unmissable and the guessing stops.
What usually goes wrong
Breed-based charts ignoring individual build
Deep-chested breeds sizing off every published chart
Owners estimating rather than measuring

Conversion tables for shoppers who know a different number.
Two templates exist purely to map one country’s sizing onto another. They carry no single unit because the whole point is the cross-reference, which is what a shopper landing from a different market needs first.
What usually goes wrong
A UK 12 and a US 12 being different garments
EU sizing varying by country within the EU
Shoppers converting in their head and getting it wrong
Templates included

Clothing — International
Bra — International
Unit-agnostic conversion tables

The recommender asks the same five things everywhere
No foot length, no bust measurement, no breed. Worth knowing before you buy it.
Height

Age
Preferred fit
Gender
Assign templates by rule
Point a chart at a collection, product, vendor, or product type so the right template lands on the right products as your catalog grows.
Mixed catalogs are fine
Nothing stops you running apparel with the recommender on and footwear on charts alone. The plan covers both.
Where it is heading
Category-specific inputs are the obvious next step. Until they ship, the recommender asks the same five questions everywhere, whatever the product.
