Create a Formula for the Width of the Armhole Cuffs

How to calculate the width of the armhole cuffs:

The width of the armhole cuffs are calculated doubling the sum of length of the following armhole segments:

ArmholeCuffWidth1
[Width of the Armhole Cuff] = 2*(x+y)

  • Calculation of x:
    x is calculated according to the theorem of Pythagoras.
    ArmholeCuffWidth2
    x² = a²+b²
    x = √(a²+b²)

ArmholeCuffWidth3
a = ([Body Width at the Waistband]-[Shoulder Width])/2
b = [
Height of the Armhole Narrowing]
x = √((([
Body Width at the Waistband]-[Shoulder Width])/2)²+[Height of the Armhole Narrowing]²)

  • Calculation of y
    ArmholeCuffWidth4
    y = [Armhole Drop]–[Height of the Armhole Narrowing]

Formula for the width of the armhole cuffs:

The final formula for the width of the armhole cuffs results replacing the calculation of x and y in the original formula.
[Width of the armhole cuffs] = 2*(√((([Body Width at the Waistband]-[Shoulder Width])/2)²+[Height of the Armhole Narrowing]²)+[Armhole Drop]–[Height of the Armhole Narrowing])
