5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent fitting resource,
By Patricia S. Brenner (Sierra Vista, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fit for Real People: Sew Great Clothes Using Any Pattern (Paperback)
I LOVE this book. I love to sew, but have not sewn fitted clothes for myself because they never fit. I decided to give it one last try, using this book. IT WORKED! It turns out that I have a broad back and slightly larger bust ... and I have been using the wrong size patterns all these years.The pattern alterations were relatively simple (I did them myself without a helper), and now have several beautifully fitted jackets and blouses. I highly recommend this book to the casual, novice, or even expert seamstress.

By Mimi Jackson "www.findadressmaker.com" (Jamaica Estates, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fit for Real People: Sew Great Clothes Using Any Pattern (Paperback)
This book gives the clearest, most accurate fitting techniques I have ever seen in a home sewer's reference. It answers so many of the common sewing issues, and addresses common body issues. You will be so happy you bought this book. The photgraphs are clear, the language is easy tounderstand, and the whoel spectrum of fitting issues are addressed. You do not need to be plus-sized or petite to use this book - there are varying levels of every fitting challenge, and they are explained in terms that are easily applied to any of the big pattern companies' products.

This is a very very good book for alterations.There are dozens of color pictures and illustrations and clear words to guide readers to get better fitting. I've read many of alteration books and this one is the best one until now. The only one thing is there is no alterations for pants.
