Product Description
Good fit improves the comfort and appearance of any garment and is the reason many people sew their own clothes. However, it's common to worry about ruining a pattern when you cut it apart to make a fitting adjustment. The Perfect Fit makes pattern alterations easy with proven methods illustrated step-by-step. This complete guide includes analyzing a figure, measuring the body, customizing the pattern, and fine-tuning the fit with small adjustments like moving buttons and reshaping darts. The Perfect Fit shows how to change a commercial pattern sized for millions of women into a sewing blueprint sized to fit your figure alone.
Altering patterns has never been easier, thanks to the help of 400 step-by-step photographs!

Should Have Bought This Before, Feb 14 2007
By Just the Facts - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Perfect Fit: The Classic Guide to Altering Patterns (Paperback)
Many fitting books have good hints, but I've often had to look in several to get the fit right. This book gives clear and sound fitting help. The pictures clearly demonstrate what you are doing, and the results are very good. Wish I'd found this book before buying so many others.
