In a time of busy schedules and many fitting issues, Connie Crawford’s Fitting DVD saves the day with up-to-date garment fitting techniques. This fitting DVD leads students through a shirt / blouse fitting project. Details cover the following: selecting the correct size pattern, checking the pattern size, checking the pattern for front to back balance, side seam balance, and armhole balance. It continues with drape-fitting the project, fitting the neckline, shoulder, armhole, sleeve, and trueing the pattern changes. Mastering the vital fitting principles of patterns will help avoid common fitting problems after the fashion fabric is cut.
