optionalMeasurements

The optionalMeasurements key in the pattern configuration file allows you to configure measurements that are optional to draft the pattern.

Structure

An array of strings where the strings are the names of the optional measurements.

Example

optionalMeasurements: [
  'highBust'
]

Why would you want optional measurements?

This is often used in combination with the bust plugin to allow a pattern to be drafted to the highBust measurement rather than the chest measurement, thereby providing better fit for people with breasts.
