Mastering Clothing Fit Techniques with 4 Unique Books
Рет қаралды 131
4 ай бұрынFirst look at some pattern fitting books. I am at the point where I need to learn this stuff. There is no point making my own clothes if they fit just as poorly if not worse than shop bought clothes (RTW - Ready to wear).

Fitting is soooo flipping hard. I’ve heard that ‘Dressmaking the easy guide’ is an excellent resource which I have on order. I’d like to see how you use your books to get your fit right. There are so many of us grappling with the same issues I’m sure. Good luck Steph. 👍

I'd love to know how you get on with Dressmaking the Easy Way. I have a high bust so wrap dresses, v necks all expose me to the elements. If this problem was covered I'd get it in a flash. Flash being the correct word!

oh gosh! Flashing the general public doesn't sound like a fun time. I think I will take a deep dive into this book first as it does look like it holds your hand more. I might even attempt to sit and read before pattern tracing. Less bull in a chinashop approach.

I sympathise…I too have had serious fit issues..I’m small on top (high bust 29,full bust 34), narrow shoulders etc going to a 37 hip….ive learned all the adjustments from narrow shoulder, petite adjustment, fba etc but nothing helped, each adjustment seemed to screw up the last one! Eventually I took a gamble and bought a Sinclair petite pattern…perfect…straight out of pack! Each time I try any other pattern, disaster. I am 5’ tall…no, I don’t work for Sinclair….if I did I’d say please, please some more modern designs! Right now I have a Sinclair bodice laid over a new look dress, so attempting the top half as Sinclair, bottom as N.Look patter….we shall see. Ps I have the book dressmaking, the easy guide, got it for Xmas & must did it out…Sinclair has only solved the knits problem, I am still struggling to fit woven. I use old bedsheets and quilts for my toiles

I am average height 5'4 so I also get issues with legs being too short as well ( tilly and the buttons!) I will have to check out sinclairs! This is what I am worried about, solving one fit issue and then causing another because I know what I am like, I just won't carry on with a project and ill still end up making badly fitting clothes.

Might be time to go and invest in some more old bedsheets
