Very disappointing but may help women with flat figures,

This review is from: Every Sewer's Guide to the Perfect Fit: Customizing Your Patterns for a Sensational Look (Hardcover)
After reading the customer reviews, I purchased this book. I was extremely disappointed, as the authors address only basic fitting for slight adjustments in flat patterns, which are not usually helpful for adjusting to persons with real shape problems and especially not helpful for those with a very large bust. Also, the book does not address the many small adjustments that are necessary for a really great fit. I would suggest it only to those who are able to use commercial flat (vs multi-seamed and contoured)patterns and need only small adjustments.

Outstanding! Fitting solutions not found elsewhere!,

This review is from: Every Sewer's Guide to the Perfect Fit: Customizing Your Patterns for a Sensational Look (Hardcover)
I've been sewing for twenty some years. In that time I read lots of books on fitting and gone to various classes. This is the ONLY place I have gotten information on how to adjust a dolman and a raglan sleeve for a larger then standard bust.This book assumes you have no fitting skills. It tells you all the tools you will need. They tell about fitting shells and why shells from different pattern companies might serve you better. The authors tell you how to adjust the pattern for your figure. This book will give you the information you need to get a better fit.

I Love This Book!,

This review is from: Every Sewer's Guide to the Perfect Fit: Customizing Your Patterns for a Sensational Look (Hardcover)
This book helped me (finally!) to understand how patterns worked and why things I had made were not turning out as I had hoped. There is quite a bit of explaination about why you're doing things. Clear easy to follow pitcures and instructions. I made a great pair of pants and will turn to it every time I have a new project.
