Wearing ease is the minimum ease that patternmakers add so people can move around in their clothes. Design ease is added just for looks! For example, in Helen's #FalconerPants, there is minimum wearing ease from the waist to the hips - then design ease added to the legs to create the barrel shape! ⁠

I'm ready to try a zip fly again, this time with the wonderful Helen's Closet, whose instructions make lovely sense and patterns fit so well. I'm going to try cotton twill with the #FalconerPants and while I'm pretty (1/??)
