FOR THE FIT OF IT
The pattern alteration step of fashion sewing
seems to be a mystery, understood and mastered
by a few, but elusive and a stumbling block to many
others who would like to sew successfully.

Finally there's a way for everyone to master the skill.
It is as simple as following your favorite recipe!

What are YOU looking for in a Fitting System? For the Fit of It CAN HELP!

• A dated personal measurement chart of 26 body measurements with suggested pattern size.
• A second personal measurement chart used in fitting pants, including crotch depth, inseam and crotch curve with a suggested pattern size. Sometimes a different pattern size is used when just fitting a skirt or pant.
• A manual with over 100 pages of simple, step-by-step instructions and fool proof tips on making your personalized pattern alterations.
• Three computer analyses (Road Maps) of personalized alteration instructions chosen from the seven major patterns companies listed above. Each road map lists the precise amounts of change in exact locations for personalizing, eliminating the guesswork of other fitting systems. Should you desire more than three, additional Road Maps may be purchased for only $6.50 each.
• Two one hour and 45 minute companion videos that place you in a classroom situation and visually take you through every step of the alteration process.
• A how-to designer's notebook for successful fashion sewing, advising you on pattern styles and fabrics that are flattering to your individual figure, working with color, the use of proportion and other artistic elements.
• A detailed manual with special instructions for the altering of skirts and pants that fit beautifully.
• A measurement booklet on how to take accurate measurements should you desire to join "For the Fit of It" by mail order, sew for others or keep yourself updated.
• You may even sew for others on your sewing list for a set-up charge of $35 per person.
• Best of all, you and others you sew for do not have to stay the same size. You may receive updates for only $10.00 each should the body change.

Welcome to the Dressing Room

Welcome to The Dressing Room was created in response to the demands of the many whose sewing eye needs a little assistance in putting body line, fashion silhouette and commercial pattern together.

The Creative Machine, Vol. VIII, No1 Winter 1998 says:

"It's depressing to spend all that time making a garment that may be well-made but fails on your figure. Shirley Cunningham's new service will help you choose appropriate patterns. First you order her 32 page book ($21.95 USF)  that helps you define your body shape and gives you advice on best jacket/skirt/pant / dress silhouettes, as well as fabrics. After registering your body type with her, she sends you a list of patterns from the major pattern companies, patterns that are good for your body, with notes on improving them . . .

If you wish to continue the service for $10 a season, Shirley will send you lists twice a year, in August and February . . . Call it preventative health. Invest some money to avoid disasters.
