Waistband Front Angle

This option determines how angled you want the waistband to be at the front.

A high angle makes the top of the finished waistband slimmer than at the bottom. This makes the shorts fit better with curvier and slimmer bodies and is useful when your hips are much wider than your waist.

A low angle fits better with more rectangular, straight bodies, where the hips and waist measurement aren’t too different.

The software calculates a suggested angle using your measurements and adds a flag message that allows setting that calculated value.

However, that calculation is pretty basic and assumes that your body is cone-shaped with constant slope between waist and hips, which is not how most bodies work.

So feel free to ignore the suggestion and choose a value that works for you.
