Fitting Isn't Easy

No matter how a sewer tries, learning to fit can be a difficult task. Judith Rasband tries to explain fitting in a different way than the other fit books do. It is worthwhile reading to explore a different point of view on the subject.

Nice book

At last! Something that makes sense over the different body shapes! And to think of showing you what to wear in order to emphasize/de-emphasize certain areas.Well written, thought out, etc. Even down to how different RTW (ready to wear) sizes are from regular patterns.
