Fitting Your Hanger: A Fitting Course
The majority of fitting issues that are encountered in the upper body (jackets, blouses, bodices) originate in the shoulders and upper back: your body’s “hanger”. Once fitted correctly, many wrinkles and unsightly folds disappear, and your clothes become more comfortable. Additionally, any other adjustments you may need become more clearly defined. Each segment of this course will address one of the three measurements. Cynthia will measure each person, there will be time for practice measuring and transferring the adjustments to sample patterns.


The curve at the base of the neck is perhaps the most important measurement, in that it helps set the correct shoulder seam location, back armhole size and many other issues which affect the fit, comfort and appearance of your jackets, blouses and bodices. Find your exact measurement and gain an understanding about how to use it to adjust patterns for wonderful fit. Please note: you will be most satisfied if you take all three parts of this Fitting Course, as they work together to achieve your best fit.
