professional bad example

so yeah, a double katori choli is essentially a 1930s-40s bra gone blouse. all choli are closer to being supportive undergarments than to being western blouses, and that means it makes no sense to want to put wearing ease into any of them. it's just a garment category that doesn't exist in western clothing - supportive, often highly decorative underwear that's allowed and even meant to show. and it'll never do its job if you add any amount of ease, just like a bra.

grumble grumble, no bra fitting community, bras made at a time when they were almost entirely woven materials did not have like four inches of ease, that would never have worked and period books and patterns don't support (heh) the idea either, you've just fundamentally misunderstood the US bra sizing system and are trying to shoehorn your mistake into the european one too when it's evidently not true, grumble grumble
