Sewing from a custom fitted sloper. Fitting is a challenge and unless you are the exact replica of the Wolf dress form you will need to fit every pattern. Fit once, use the sloper and learn a few design rules and let your creativity reign.

Developing Master Patterns Fitting Class 101
Pattern Fitting and Tweaking Program for tops and blouses
Use your tried and true pattern or start with a new basic pattern*
Lesson 1: Complete and accurate measurements.
Pattern analysis and comparing your measurements to pattern
measurements
Lesson 2: Pattern revisions for your body.
Lesson 3: Finish sewing muslin garment, noting any fitting tweak.
Note: Prior to beginning this I strongly recommend that you invest in a well fitting bra.
Anne St Claire at Needle Nook Fabrics has info on what makes a well fitting bra in her
book Intimately Yours, Bras That Fit. Her contact is ndlnookfab@aol.com. You could
also have a commercial bra professionally fitted.
*Contact instructor regarding pattern selection.
