Meanings of measurements
In some patternmaking systems, some measurements are halved. 'Back shoulder width' sometimes means the distance from shoulder tip to shoulder tip across the back, sometimes it means half this measurement. Some patternmaking systems define 'knee girth' to mean the circumference around the knee with a straight leg, some systems define it as the circumference around the knee with a bent leg. A similar situation occurs with the elbow and arm length measurements, some use a straight arm and some use a bent arm.
