Added Fullness

- Add extra ease (e.g. An A-line skirt; fullness is added in the hem).
- For design/stylistic purposes (e.g. fullness added to the sleeve cap to produce a puff sleeve that doesn’t add any wearing ease to the sleeve, it just creates a look)
- flare
- gathers
- pleats
- tucks
Adding Fullness: Equally, One-Sided and Unequal
Fullness can be added three ways. The examples below use the sleeve, but fullness can be added to any garment part.Adding Fullness Equally throughout the pattern piece
In this image, the sleeve is cut and spread so that the fullness is added throughout the sleeve equally, from top to bottom. The resulting sleeve would have added fullness in both the sleeve cap and the bicep.
Adding Fullness along one side
In this image, the sleeve is spread at the bottom only, adding fullness to the bicep, but not to the sleeve cap.
Adding Fullness unequally
In this image, fullness has been added to both sides; the sleeve cap and the bicep, but not equally to both sides. More ease is added to the sleeve cap than to the bicep.
