Calculation method

Calculation method

Chosen garment target (cm)

Body inseam + user-selected garment offset.

Actual minus target (cm)

Actual garment inseam − chosen target.

Length to remove (cm)

Maximum of zero and actual minus target.

Extra length needed (cm)

Maximum of zero and target minus actual.

Symbols and units

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Length reconciliation under your declared measurement convention. The garment offset is chosen by you; no rise, style, shoe allowance or personal fit recommendation is inferred. Available hem fabric is not assessed.
