Exactly as you’ve described it: bust, waist, hip and leg length, but with leg length from hip to ankle. It would mean not all sizes are available for a given piece of clothing, but it would mean that on the rack or online, you could tell whether a piece of clothing would fit.
Yes and I would also add thigh circumference and calf circumference. I have larger thighs and calves, which is not always in line with hip circumference. For example, hips can fit but not calves in straight legged pants for me.
In this case, would it not make more sense to have more varied materials that are more stretchy, and more brands that cater to more varied sized people?
Standards are great for standard sized people, but it’s also nice to have a selection of non-standard sized clothes for non-standard sized people.
The problem is there are very few "standard sized" women, and not everyone wants to wear yoga pants or mumus.
