Clothing size & body measurements

Garment ease comparison

Compare a finished garment circumference with the corresponding body measurement.

Use a single decimal point or comma, without thousands separators or unit symbols. All lengths use the selected unit. Values must be 0–1,000,000; dimensions and swatch counts must exceed zero. Counts must be whole numbers. Extra allowance: 0–100%; lengthwise shrinkage: 0–50%.

Assumptions & limits

Use the same body location and unit for both circumferences. Positive ease means the garment is larger; negative ease means it is smaller. This comparison is not a size recommendation or a guarantee of comfort, stretch recovery or fit.

Formula

ease = G − B; ease% = (G − B) ÷ B × 100

G
Finished garment circumference
B
Body circumference

Worked example

G = 100 cm; B = 92 cm → +8 cm; +8.69565217%.

Results show up to 8 decimal places. Small values use scientific notation; calculations use unrounded factors.
