Controls the amount of ease build into the pattern. Since these are leggings that are to be made of stretch fabric,
the ease is negative. So the completed garment will be narrower than the measurements would dictate.
:::note
Getting the ease right for your type of fabric is essential for getting a good fit. If you make the ease
too negative, the leggings will be too constricting, and limiting movement. If you don't make the ease
negative enough, the leggings will not hug your legs and torso. The fabric should be stretched in all
places, without being too tight.
