The new measures for better fitting clothes to cut the number returned to online retailers

Consumer news including the new measures for better fitting clothes to cut the number returned to online retailers and the mystery bills costing phone customers thousands.

Online fashion retailers are facing an increasing number of returns from customers who buy the wrong size garments. We've been to see the researchers working on new sizes for better fitting clothes.

Presenter: Winifred Robinson
Producer: Jon Douglas.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
