Joost De Cock b34a2ee2ed 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

Shoulder slope

The shoulder slope measurement is an indicator for the amount with which your shoulder slopes downward.

To measure your shoulder slope, you need to determine the angle at which your shoulder line slopes downward.

A good way to measure your shoulder slope is to take a a selfie and rotate it until your shoulder line is horizontal.

The angle you had to rotate is your shoulder slope.

Almost all people have a slightly different shoulder slope on both sides. That's because your dominant arm is more pronounced.

Unless the different is huge, best not to worry about it. It won't show up for casual garments, and for formal wear, it's better to add asymmetric shoulder padding, rather than create an asymmetric pattern.
