Ease

Ease is the width built into a pattern beyond the body measurement, so that the wearer can move in the garment.

In the file

Ease sits in the pattern, not in the file format. Finished measurements minus body measurements give you the number, and on a digitized pattern both are there to be measured.

Also known as
wearing ease, movement allowance
