Hello,
I have put the specs in for a vest for my husband, and printed out the pattern.
I have taped the front and the back together (I haven’t added seam allowances yet), to get an idea of how it is going to fit, and it seems a bit, well, snug.
His high bust measurement is 96cm. and the front and back taped together is 48cm which is exactly half of his measurement above (so the vest would be 96cm when put together.
Normally patterns have a bit of ease, so as to be comfortable and allow movement. With the numbers above, it vest would be form fitting. Is this expected? If so, how would I allow for ease if I were to print this out again.
Thanks heaps in advance.
