Re: Irregular Table Accessibility

In the example, do the sizes (1x, 2x) overlap in the chest and shoulder
dimensions? That seems odd.

You can create the table as pictured, you just need more columns that would
be grouped together. That is, the chest/should cell would actually be four
cells/columns with colspan="4". Then the 1x, 2x, 3x would be colspan="3".
But if 1x,2x is the column header, then you'd have a weird screen reader
issue for reading the column heading for chest. Should it say 1x or 2x?
Or for that matter, the table is confusing for sighted users too so the
experience would be equally confusing for all users. I suppose that's an
equal experience for everyone.

Perhaps a few more details about your actual scenario would be helpful.
