In this class, we will be fitting a mockup of your favorite bodice. We will start with taking measurements, and working out how those measures effect your size choices. We will then cut/sew a trial version of your bodice in scrap fabric and perfect the fit on your body. Lastly, we will mark the corrections onto your paper pattern, so you will have perfect pattern to take home with you.

As we will be doing this in a group setting, everyone will be exposed to various fitting problems and solutions. Also, during the general chatter, you never know what tidbits of information will drop.
