After creating points 13, 13A & 14 there is a line of text that says

" Find point to point measure from pt0 - pt13a and double."

It doesn't say what this computation is used for?

Will it be used later?

It goes on to create points 15,16 etc.

What am I missing here?

Hello,

I was hoping someone could help me understand one thing about drafting for closed leg figurations.

So I understand you “move” the center front line closer towards the crotch point. But at the crotch line the distance between the crease line and the crotch point is shorter than to side seam.

Because of this. Does that mean when you press the trousers the inseam and outseam won’t match up and the crease won’t be in the centre of the trousers?

Thank in advance!

When drafting a shirt or other general sewing items over the years I would work from a sloper I made that fits the body and add wearing ease to the pieces when I add a seam allowance. But it looks like tailoring systems are different? Going through Rory's book and videos I don't see ease mentioned. It also seems that tailors are not trying for an exact fit when cutting and prefer to fittings to get things correct?
