We do give you the model's measurements but they don't necessarily mean much. The stylists for the models will pin the clothes to fit well so the pictures look good.

People who are models generally fall within a certain range of sizes, but it's still impossible to predict perfectly what will fit them, and you might not even have all the sizes available.

That's always annoyed me when walking through a store and seeing mannequins with clothes on that look like they are cut really nicely and aren't just made for a big fat guy. Then I walk around to the back of the mannequin and sure enough everything is pinned in place to make it look nice. I get that the clothes are made to fit onto the largest number of people, but it ends up like a design by committee type situation, where the end result is that no one really looks that good in the clothes. So yes, I can definitely see your point that the models measurements wouldn't mean much.

What I would like to see is specific measurements of the garment. The distance from the collar to the bottom of the shirt, the width at the bottom of the shirt, the width of the arms, etc. The few standard measurements that are usually provided with a dress shirt or a pair of pants are a good start, but they aren't nearly enough to judge fit. I've had shirts custom made (via the internet) that use the reverse of this process, where I provide them all sorts of different measurements and they make the garment to fit. They all fit very well, so I have hope that making this information available could help with the fit problem.
