Click Here for Free EBook: Fabulous FIT MADE EASY™ "CATCH 22" DRESS FORMS & FITTING SECRETS REVEALED© The Fitting Sequence. The 11-Step Fitting Solution That Will Take You From Commercial Patterns to Fabulous Fitting Clothes by MASSIMO BARRA & JILL RALSTON.
The Fit Made Easy Sewing Book is filled with sewing and fitting guidelines, gathered from our 20 years experience in fashion design, wardrobe for television, pattern making, and sewing. By following the simple principles contained in this book, you will learn the secrets and tricks that the experts know, and your creativity will soar to new heights as you carefully follow and consciously break the rules.
Not only will you understand the cut, look, and feel of beautifully made clothes, but by comparing your new pattern to the initial commercial pattern, you will see what a "three-dimensional fit" looks like on paper, and you will be able to easily make the alterations to fit your needs at your own pace. Some of the most celebrated universities in the United States and worldwide use the knowledge acquired from this workbook in their advanced classrooms, yet the steps are simple and easily understood even by the most novice designer. In today's fast-paced environment, technical departments often focus their efforts on patternmaking sometimes avoiding the most essential and basic part of fashion, "fitting".
Many pattern making companies have tried to resolve the issue of patterns that do not fit, but the truth is there is no way to adjust a commercial pattern to fit your exact measurements and shape, unless you make the alterations right on the person or on a dress form that duplicates your body. Whether you are fitting for women, men, juniors, kids, seniors, physically asymmetrical, or wheel chair bound, the steps in this workbook will show you the way to Fit Made Easy©.
Fit Made Easy will turn your sewing experience into a walk in the park.
