The Complete Photo Guide to Perfect Fitting is the ultimate reference for fitting test garments and transferring accurate adjustments to patterns.

No matter what size or shape you are, wearing garments that fit perfectly makes you look and feel better. Rather than making commonly accepted changes to a commercial pattern, the method presented in this guide focuses on the way a test garment fits the body. The fabric is manipulated to improve the fit, and then those specific changes are made to the pattern. The result: patterns that fit perfectly!

With The Complete Photo Guide to Perfect Fitting, you'll learn:

  • The importance of a fitting axis and how to use it during a fitting
  • How to recognize fitting issues, such as drag lines and folds
  • How to manipulate fabric to solve common and unusual fitting problems
  • How to transfer the fitting changes to your pattern easily
  • Basic pattern-making skills to ensure accurate alterations

See the fitting process from start to finish on basic garments, fitted on real people. Then follow fitting solutions on different body types. Hundreds of large color photos illustrate the techniques and concepts in simple step-by-step instructions. With these lessons, you will get the perfect fit for any body.

When looking for the ultimate resource on perfect fitting, The Complete Photo Guide to Perfect Fitting stands out as an exceptional choice. The spiral-bound version is perfect for those who want a book that can withstand regular use. This unique binding allows you to lay the book flat, making it easier to reference while you work on your fitting projects. If you're serious about perfecting your fitting skills, the spiral-bound The Complete Photo Guide to Perfect Fitting is the ideal option for you.
