Need a tape measure?
A soft body tape makes this quick and accurate. Here is one on Amazon if you need it.
Put Ease on Your Home Screen
It opens like an app, full screen, with its own icon. Three taps in Safari:
You are in another app's browser. First tap ••• or the compass at the top or bottom of the screen and choose Open in Safari (or Open in browser), then follow the steps there.
- Tap the three dots at the right of the address bar. On an older iPhone, tap Share in the bottom bar and skip to step 3.
- Tap Share.
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.
The closet you want, piece by piece.
Your measurements
Use a soft tape over fitted clothes. Seven numbers are enough to begin.
These are example measurements. Replace them with yours.
No tape on you, or measuring yourself is not your favorite thing? Lay out two pieces that fit well instead. Tap a measurement to see how to take it.
No soft tape? Get one on Amazon.
Your silhouette
Drawn from the measurements. The small mark is the belly button, placed from inseam and rise. A guide to proportion, not a portrait.
Keep Your Measurements
They are saved on this phone for now. Make a free account and they follow you to any device, and you can check how any listing fits.
Try a piece
An example pair of jeans is filled in. Replace it with the piece you are considering.
Start with the listing
Not every website lets Ease read its pages, and if a listing doesn't include measurements, nothing will fill in. If that happens, add a screenshot of the measurements or enter them by hand below.
A few words on the cut and details, so the drawing looks more like the piece.
The piece
Kind of bag
Ease draws it at true size beside your figure, carried the way that kind is usually worn.
Its measurements
Does the fabric stretch?
Where would you like it to end?
The numbers
At the tailor
Nothing to alter. It fits as it is.
Rough US tailoring prices. Yours will vary.
Wardrobe
Tell Ease how it went, and it learns how you like things to fit.
Nothing saved yet. Try a piece, then save it here to keep it, compare it with others and see pieces together.
Your pieces
Choose two or three pieces to see them on the figure together.
How you like things to fit
Nothing learned yet. When you keep a piece, tell Ease how it fits and the next one is judged your way.
How did it fit?
Your answers teach Ease how you like things to fit, so the next piece is judged your way.
Did you keep it?
How does it feel on?
Did you have it altered?

Pieces you save for a client appear here.
Start from clothes that fit
Lay a piece flat and measure it. Ease works back to the body inside it. Fill in what you have; a tape on yourself later will sharpen it.
Ask Ease
Fit, measurements, tailoring, what to look for. Ease answers with your numbers in view.
Sent to your stylist
Thank you. Your measurements are with her now, and nowhere else. She will use them to find pieces that fit you before you ever try them on.
Curious what she sees? Ease Atelier tells you how a vintage or secondhand piece will fit from its listing. Seven days free at www.ease-atelier.com.
An edit for
Choose the pieces, add a line on why each works, and send her one link. She sees each piece with its fit, says yes or no, and her answers come back here.
Pieces
Each piece was checked against your measurements with Ease Atelier, which tells you how a vintage or secondhand piece will fit before you buy it. Your measurements are never shown on this page.
Notes on fit
Short reads on measuring, ease, tailoring and the pieces themselves. The same knowledge Ease uses on every verdict.
What to look for
The garment measurements that fit, written the way sellers list them. Use them to search and to skim a listing.
Where the waistband sits
Trousers, shorts and skirts don't have to sit at your natural waist. Say where you like them and the waist and rise ranges move with you.
For the Chrome extension
These ranges travel with your code, so the extension can check a listing for you.
Your Ease
Your account, the Chrome extension, notes on fit and anything else that isn't a piece.

Ease, while you shop
The Chrome extension sits beside any listing. It shows the sizes to look for, marks the seller's measurements against yours, and sends the piece here with its photo, link and fit.
On a laptop, search the Chrome Web Store for Ease Atelier.
Your code
Paste this into the extension once. It carries your measurements and the sizes to look for, never your name.
How it works
Your code carries your clients too. Copy it again after you add one.
