The above fitting measurements vary depending on the type of fabric you are using and the amount of wearing ease desired in your dress. For a looser dress, add more wearing ease or use a larger size. The actual bustline requires less ease than the hip area because of the built in ease associated with the nursing opening itself. Allow at least 2-4 inches of ease through the bustline area, 4-5 inches of ease through the hip area and at least 1-2 inches of ease in the upper arm. For a tight dress fashioned from a knit fabric you may be able to get by with less ease.
