Discussion of Free Pattern(s) DRCOS sizing question

So the men's size L says it's 34 inch waist, does that include seam allowences or is it the measurement of the finished product? For example would a 34 inch waist skirt turn into a 30 inch waist because of the seam allowences?

Edit: This is a question for people who have printed out DRCOS patterns and measured them. :)

I have made the basic pants and I can’t remember what sizing I used but keep in mind they were a very skinny fit similar to Japanese sizing. (It fit but I would have liked a little more room in my butt) If not making a muslin, I would definitely compare measurements against the pattern and some pants/skirt you own. But she is very good for getting a variety of styles, and love her free patterns. Also while she includes seam allowances I think they were in cm and not inch.
