Fitting is more than learning how to adjust patterns. It is achieving a feeling of self-confidence that comes from knowing that your clothes are comfortable and attractive. Well-fitted garments that are oversized look fashionably loose-fitting rather than baggy; garments that are close to the body allow you to move comfortably because they are not binding. Whatever the style, a good fit eliminates unattractive wrinkles and gaping that draw attentions to problems. The Perfect Fit comes packed with clear, easy-to-follow instructions and step-by-step colour photography that will help you master the art of fitting in no time. When you have successfully completed fitting adjustments on one pattern, you can take similar steps with other patterns and gradually develop expertise through experience. In the process you will educate your eye to see additional improvements worth making. Every time you work through a fitting technique featured in The Perfect Fit you will learn something of value.

This is by far the best book concerning fitting clothes and modifying commercial sewing patterns that I have ever read. The book goes into detail regarding the different body shapes, taking correct measurements and adjusting the pattern. The book takes into account fitting shoulders and sleeves, collars and necklines, bust, armhole, back, waist and abdomen, hips and pants.
This is a very detailed step-by-step guide on how to get from your measurements to a final pattern fitting your specific needs. Illustrated with lots of photos this book is easy to understand. I highly recommend the lecture of this book before trying to modify a pattern yourself.
I've yet to find a book that provides such an indepth look at pattern fitting. As far from standard pattern measurements myself, I found the book to be informative and precise in the adjustments needed to be made. Numerous alterations are covered. Pattern alterations can be very difficult, but this book does a very nice job of simplifying it. Thoroughly recommended
