Pattern Fitting Session - 2 hours, $80 for dress or tops
Pattern Fitting Session- 3 hours, $120 for pants, slacks, joggers
To make a great-fitting garment, you must have a great-fitting pattern. Most patterns for tops/dresses are modeled for a person 5'6", 120 lbs, and a B cup. If you don't fit that mold, then you will need a pattern altered.
In this 2-hour session, Gail will take your measurements and tissue fit your selected pattern. I can show you how to add or reduce the cup size and alter between sizes. You will leave with a tissue pattern ready to make a wearable test garment.
For pants or slacks, fitting the crotch curve to your body is so important for a great fit. In this 3-hour session, Martha will take your measurements and discuss changes to your pattern to achieve a great-fitting garment.
There are no set days or times. Once you order the Pattern Fitting Session, we will contact you to set a date and time and to ask for your pattern selection. Bring samples of the fabrics you are interested in using if you wish.
