Marjolijn, We have a similar problem with book sizes, so I made the
following suggestion to Gallery Systems on their community portal:

*Non-Numeric Dimensions*



I would like to be able to add non-numeric dimensions data to the
> dimensions control, that can be readily searched, and included in the
> dimensions label.


> Examples include:

Book format sizes: folio, quarto, octavo, elephant folio
>
Clothing sizes: small, medium, large

Sculpture sizes: half life-size, life-size, double life-size


> I am fully aware that this information could easily be managed in flex
> fields or thesxrefs, but this information directly correlates to the size
> of an object, and its inclusion in the dimensions control and dimensions
> label would be greatly appreciated. The dimensions control is very useful
> for managing numeric data, but any modifications made to the label are lost
> whenever the dimensions label is globally recalculated.
