A Garment Fitting Manual on Commercial Sewing Pattern Adjustments and Body Measurements

Sewing expert and author Sandra Betzina presents a systematic guide to solving fit issues in commercial sewing patterns. Organized by body area, the manual addresses common fitting challenges including full bust adjustments (FBA), narrow shoulders, swayback corrections, full hips, curved backs, and asymmetrical adjustments.

Using full-color photographs and red-line tissue alteration diagrams, Betzina demonstrates how to modify pattern paper before cutting fabric. The guide covers taking accurate body measurements, calculating garment ease, making slash-and-spread adjustments, and seam adjustments for pants, skirts, blouses, and jackets.
