Great video! Thank you for your hard work and professionalism. You are one of our sewists today who are masters of the all things textiles and techniques. Plus, you harness the new technology for EXCELLENT educational techniques.
I have trouble fitting myself. I have an apron belly that sticks out between my waist and hip, then I have a bottom that sticks out dramatically where my belly gets somewhat flat again. I'm kind of awkward and makes very hard to fit me properly, in that area, which is the only area I have trouble fitting.
It is a challenge to self-fit. I highly recommend taking photos of yourself with a phone/tripod. This will greatly help you visualize the fitting from a head-on perspective. So many times in fitting, we have to take the garments off to pin them, then put them back on. It's constant work to try and get those pins/cuts in the right place.
This is excellent information and a wonderful introduction to fitting for my granddaughter who is learning to sew. I can’t seem to find the link to the blank “Ease Calculator” form.
How do famous brands sell women's clothing online by identifying body measurements when customers are not physically present, and how do they create measurement charts for all age groups?
There are companies that create data sets of body measurements. Then they categorize the data based on customers' age ranges, demographics, and interests. These companies sell the data to clothing companies and customize it to each brand based on who their target customer is. Then the clothing company finds fit models in their target sample size and do fittings on a live model that represents their target customers.
