Ease
The difference between the garment's measurements and the body's actual measurements. Can be positive or negative.
Explanation
Ease is the difference between your body measurements and the finished garment's measurements. Positive ease means the garment is larger than you (giving a looser fit), while negative ease means the garment is smaller than your actual measurements (often used for close-fitting garments or stretchy ribbing). Choosing the right amount of ease is key to getting a garment that fits exactly how you want it to.
