Selecting ease
The second step is often selecting ease. 4 options are currently available: Semi-fitted, Fitted, Oversize and Bodycon (recommended for knit fabric of small stretchiness or fabrics with elastane).
Attention! The given values are technical ease that is used for drafting the original sloper and the actual ease will most likely differ from the given values due to the slope of the back seam, side seams, and the chosen silhouette of the dress and of the sleeves.
Here is an overview of the ease depending on the selected option:
| Ease/Option | Semi-fitted | Fitted | Oversize | Bodycon |
| Ease around bust | 9 cm | 6 cm | 14 cm | 3 cm |
| Ease around waist | 9 cm | 7 cm | 12 cm | 3.6 cm |
| Ease around full hips | 7 cm | 5 cm | 10 cm | 2 cm |
| Ease around biceps area | 6 cm | 6 cm | 8 cm | 5 cm |
