How to Fit a Skirt

The simplest of garments to make and wear, skirts are also one of the most instantly rewarding garments to fit properly. On three live models representing distinctly different body shapes and sizes, Cynthia explores everything from grading a pattern up or down a size or two to explaining (and correcting) swaying side seams, drooping hemlines and those final nips and tweaks which tastefully show off your curves.
See her follow unsightly wrinkles to their origins, then pin or slash them away on each model’s mock-up. As each telltale wrinkles disappear, a lovely figure — regardless of size or shape – emerges.
Cynthia then demonstrates exactly how to accurately transfer the adjustments to the paper pattern, and before the class is over, shows just which styles and lengths flatter each figure.
NOW can cut and sew your skirt with confidence….and respond to comments by saying “thanks, I made it myself!”
