Ease

Ease is the amount of excess volume in a garment needed for regular body movement. It is the difference between body measurement and garment measurement. Having ease is very important because this added volume allows you to breathe, move your arms forward, bend your elbows, sit, walk and do all your normal daily activities in comfort and without restriction.
