Recognise and professionally correct fit errors Not every piece that suits halfway fits perfectly. Folds and wrinkles often appear in unwanted areas, or the wearer notices an uncomfortable feeling of tension because the garment is too tight somewhere. Body shapes are individual. Skillfully fitted garments do not restrict but envelop the body in the best possible way. This book guides you from taking the correct measurements and incorporating individual proportions to garments that fit like a second skin. Anyone who also develops an eye for the respective posture will optimise the fit. Sven Jungclaus explains the causes of poor fit based on specific manufacturing defects and offers the optimal solution to the most common problems. Use the step-by-step instructions to develop a trained view of individual postures and let the professional tips guide you through to the finished garment. Have fun realising your perfectly fitting piece!!
