An advanced course with a focus on fitting to help you with next steps to making more complex patterns fit you well.
We will take a comprehensive list of your measurements, to help you make pattern adjustments and make a calico toile on which you will be able to make further adjustments to ensure a well fitting garment before cutting from more favourable and expensive fabric choices.
With 3 full days days to continue with the making of your fitting shell toile, I'll show you how to assess and rectify fitting issues. I will also be showing you how to change necklines, sleeve shapes, & skirt shapes so that you can start creating your own unique styles.
