Скачать или смотреть Part 2: How to Scale Dog Wear Patterns – Chest & Neck Circumference + Functional Ease

In this video, I’m showing how to grade the chest and neck circumference on a dog wear pattern — and how to handle functional ease, that extra room that keeps every coat comfortable and easy to fasten.

This is the second clip from my YouTube Live    • Top 3 Mistakes When Resizing Dog Coat Patt...  , where I walk through how to scale dog wear patterns properly for consistent fit across breeds.

✅ How to measure, remove, and re-add ease correctly
