📘 The Perfect Fit

by Singer Sewing Reference Library

NO MATTER HOW YOUR FIGURE VARIES FROM THE STANDARD MEASUREMENTS USED FOR COMMERCIAL PATTERNS WITH THE PERFECT FIT AS YOUR GUIDE, YOU'LL LEARN TO SELECT AND ADJUST PATTERNS FOR YOUR PERSONAL SHAPE. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS AND CLOSE-UP PHOTOGRAPHS SHOW YOU THE STEPS TO GOOD FIT: ANALYZING YOUR FIGURE AND DECIDING WHICH FIGURE AREAS REQUIRE PATTERN ADJUSTMENTS; RECOGNIZING THE STANDARDS OF PERFECT FIT AND DETERMINING WHICH PATTERN STYLES LOOK BEST ON YOU; CHOOSING THE BEST EQUIPMENTAND SUPPLIES FOR ACCURATE MEASURING AND FITTING; USING THE PATTERN AS A FITTING TOOL; MAKING PATTERN ADJUSTMENTS AT THE SHOULDERS, SLEEVES, NECKLINE, BUST, BACK, WAIST, ABDOMEN, HIPS, CROTCH, SEAT, AND THIGHS; FINE TUNING GATHERS, DARTS, AND PLEATS; CREATING FLATTERING OPTICAL ILLUSIONS USING TIPS FROM EXPERT DRESSMAKERS. THE PERFECT FIT ADDRESSES BIG AND LITTLE FITTING PROBLEMS BY PROVIDING A MAJOR AND A MINOR METHOD FOR MOST PATTERN ADJUSTMENTS. WITH EITHER METHOD, IF YOU ADJUST THE PATTERN BEFORE YOU CUT, YOU WILL ELIMINATE TIME-CONSUMING ALTERATIONS ON THE GARMENT ITSELF. THE RESULT WILL BE A TOTAL HEAD-TO-TOE IMAGE OF GOOD FIT.
