patterns were made with so much "ease" that if I followed the cutting lines for the size suggested by my measurements, the finished product would be about six inches too big -- the "ease" must have been about 10 inches! Has anybody got a sense of how these patterns run now?
Not much has changed. There's often a chart on the envelope with real measurements for bust and hips, which is useful in determining which size to cut. I still almost always have to take two inches off the sides for something that is "fitted". It's worse on some patterns than on others, I guess it depends on who drafts them.
