How It Works

Ease is the difference between your body measurement and the garment measurement. Wearing ease (2-4 inches at bust) allows basic movement. Design ease is extra room for style — a close-fitting blouse has less, an oversized jacket has more. Knit fabrics need less ease because they stretch with your body. Always check the finished garment measurements on the pattern envelope.
