Forward shoulder
A posture or body shape in which the shoulders sit rotated forward of the torso's natural balance line, causing the shoulder seam of a garment to pull toward the front.
Narrow back
A back width narrower than the standard pattern block assumes, causing excess fabric to pool between the shoulder blades and the armhole to hang away from the body.
Rounded upper back
A posture with increased forward curvature of the upper spine, causing the back of a garment to pull tight and ride up, with drag lines below the neckline.
Whiskering (trouser fitting)
Diagonal creases that fan out from the crotch area of close-fitting trousers, most visible in denim, indicating tightness or an insufficient crotch curve at that point.
Wide back
A back width broader than the standard pattern block assumes, causing the back pattern piece to feel tight across the shoulder blades and restrict arm movement.
