title: optionalMeasurements
---

```js
optionalMeasurements: [
  'highBust'
]
```

An array with the names of optional measurements that can be used to draft this pattern. 

<Note>

###### Why would you want optional measurements?

This is often used in combination with [the bust plugin](/reference/plugins/bust/) to 
allow a pattern to be drafted to the `highBust` measurement rather than the 
`chest` measurement, thereby providing better fit for people with breasts.

feat: Flat import of markdown repo This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content from our markdown module. We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history. Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown 2021-08-25 16:09:31 +02:00
