New to clothing measurements. What does "let out" mean, and how do you measure it? Received a question asking for the waist and inseam let out.
'Letting out' something is just making it bigger. I'm going to assume you're selling a pair of trousers and the buyer is asking how much they can be let out, which means they want to know how big the inlays are. Just measure the seam allowance and inlay one side of the seat seam, take away 1/4 (because you need to keep some seam allowance), then x2 for both sides, and that's how much the waist can be let out.
