  • Principles of Pattern Alteration Pattern Alteration
    E-372 02/06 Principles of Pattern Alteration Pattern Alteration it is an important ingredient that makes a garment a wardrobe plus or minus. Standards of good fit Fare influenced by many things such as the current fashion look, the hang and stretch of the fabric, the amount of ease preferred and figure size and type. For any seamstress, whether beginning or experienced, the art of fitting requires skill and patience. When this art has been mastered, garments will look better and feel more comfortable. Once the fabric is cut, however, fitting adjustments are limited to existing darts and seam allowances. Therefore, fitting problems should be solved before the garment is cut by making needed changes in the pattern. Preserve the altered pattern for later use by fusing nonwoven stabilizer on the pattern’s wrong side or redraw the pattern and new markings onto pattern paper. Use dry heat for fusing because steam wrinkles the tissue paper and smears the ink. Extension Family Development and Resource Management Specialists Know your measurements Accurate measurements are the key to good fit.Mea - surements should be taken at least every 6 months and/or when weight or the figure has varied significantly. Take all measure- ments snugly, but not tightly, over undergarments usually worn. Also, wear shoes similar to those usually worn. A string tied around the waist and the base of the neck helps establish reference points for measuring. Work in front of a mirror or with a partner to make sure that the tape is straight, parallel to the floor and positioned on the body in the correct locations.

The SRBA comprises of fifteen member and associate houses, who work together to protect and champion the understanding of bespoke tailoring and to promote the ingenious craftsmen that comprise the community of Savile Row. The SRBA sets the standards that define a Savile Row bespoke tailor, and all members of the Association must conform to the key agreed definitions of a bespoke suit and much more besides. A Master Cutter must oversee the work of every tailor employed by a member house and all garments must be constructed within a one hundred yard radius of Savile Row. Likewise, every member must offer the customer a choice of at least 2,000 cloths and rigorous technical requirements are expected. For example, jacket foreparts must be entirely hand canvassed, buttonholes sewn, sleeves attached and linings felled all by hand. It takes an average 50 plus hours to produce a suit in our Savile Row cutting rooms and workshops. #savilerowbespoke www.savilerowbespoke.com 2 1 Savile Row: inSide out Savile Row: Inside Out looks inside the extraordinary world of bespoke tailoring; an exclusive opportunity to step behind the scenes and celebrate the tailor’s art, the finest cloth and the unequalled expertise that is British Bespoke.
