#16 Fitting Patterns in the Right Order

Save Time and Get a Better Fit.

If your pattern adjustments often lead to more confusion than clarity—this video will show you why.
When fitting garments, the order in which you make adjustments has a significant impact on the final result.

In this video, I’ll share the professional fitting process I teach inside my courses. You’ll learn why the correct order of adjustments—length first, contour second, and width/girth last—is the foundation for successful fitting and pattern accuracy.

You’ll learn:

• Why length adjustments always come first

• When you can make contour changes with confidence

• Why girth adjustments should always be the final step

This is the exact approach I use when fitting bodices, pants, skirts, and dresses—and it’s the key to reducing guesswork and building confidence with advanced sewing projects.
