Before cutting
Check the silhouette, length and ease in a toile. The fabric’s stretch and drape were not measured. The software checks do not show how it fits a person.
Each cuff is a folded band 18 mm wide and the sleeve is gathered into it. Check in a toile that it passes over the arm before you cut your fabric.
