Let’s Talk About Ease
What is ease, anyway? Ease is the difference between the body measurement and the finished garment’s measurement at the same body part. To get a better idea of what we mean, take one of your t-shirts (not a really tight one) and lay it flat on a table. Measure the t-shirt at the bust and double the number you get – doubling it gives you the complete bust measurement of the t-shirt, including front and back. Compare this measurement to your bust body measurement. You’ll find that if you’ve taken all of your measurements correctly, the t-shirt bust is larger than your actual bust. The extra is the ease of the t-shirt.

There are two types of ease - Wearing Ease and Design Ease:

Wearing ease is the amount needed to actually wear the garment, so you can lift your arms, sit down, etc. Some people prefer more wearing ease, for a looser fit; some prefer less wearing ease, for a more snug fit. This is strictly a personal choice.

Design ease is the amount given for a specific design to get a certain look.
