Synopsis

Natalie Bray, in the same clear style that has helped many readers of Dress Pattern Designing and More Dress Pattern Designing, analyses the problems of fitting which so often cause difficulties to both students and dressmakers.

To be able to understand what is happening when observing a defect is already to have an idea of how to correct it. Here problems of figure, posture and of pattern adjustment are clearly explained so that the dressmaker can, with the confidence that comes with practical experience, learn to identify a defect and choose the best method of dealing with it.
