Abstract: The present invention relates to an outer garment that covers at least part of a wearer's upper body, such as a shirt or a shirt-dress, that has optimally adjusted measurements, and includes at least one measurement that changes based on physical characteristics of a wearer, such as bra measurement and height. For example, a master pattern may be designed in a chosen style for a chosen body type in the usual manner for an outer garment for a wearer of a specific bra measurement and height. The same outer garment in the same style for a wearer of the same body type and chest circumference but a different bra cup size and/or height may be defined by adjusting fewer than all measurements, based, for example, on an algorithm.
