Custom Fitting

Treat yourself to custom-made clothing by customizing the fit before you cut your fabric.

Dress Forms

A dress form is a very convenient tool when you’re trying to fit a garment. It allows you to see your garment on a body from all angles and make adjustments without the aid of a friend.

But keep in mind that a dress form may not duplicate all the little quirks of your own body. A dress form also doesn’t move, and clothes can look and feel very different on a moving body. So whether or not you use one, it’s still a good idea to try on garments as you’re fitting them.

If you can’t find a dress form with exactly your size (which is pretty likely), you can buy one with some measurements that are slightly smaller, and pad them out until they are the same as yours. Simply add a bit of quilt batting to the area, then wrap the area with a stretchy knit fabric. You can even add an old bra stuffed with batting to fill out the bust.
