Thank you! I don't like wasting fabric on toiles, so I would love to get a better fit without them. Your video was helpful to remind me that I can fit as I go in addition to making adjustments in advance. I'm considering using a custom made block for my measurements to help with the pattern adjustments.

Thank you for the information. I have ordered this book.

Thank for sharing these valuable insights of the book.

I just finished disassembling some Pietra pants because of the bulkiness of the back elastic. This could be a solution to my issue if I add a few inches to the back piece and add darts and a facing as you've done. I think I can save these pants and make 'em wearable. I'd rather do the back zipper than the side zip. Thanks, Michelle!

Excelente libro

Hi Michelle I enjoy listening to you. You have, whatever people need to have, to be successful at explaining and presenting this information with an easy to listen to style. I hope you will continue to provide more interesting videos.

You have a really personal way about you. I like that you come straight to the point and don’t rattle away like some You Tubers. I hope you are going to be posting more videos. You mentioned a tailoring book you used. I think it’s really helpful to provide reviews of books that you have I check these videos out a lot. Maybe that’s an idea for a video you could do.

Hi I have really enjoyed this you voiced the questions I have been wondering about how much ease do I need, do I want and where? It never occurred to me that it’s personal preference I thought there were hard and fast rules. The other thing you mentioned is how can I come up with a plan of altering a pattern to my measurements and for me is this a bridge too far at the moment. I hope you go on to cover this. After cutting out my first garment, a nightdress, choosing the largest size for my bust I couldn’t understand what was wrong with it but I knew there was something. In my reading I came across the information that if you have narrow shoulders but a large bust you need to choose the size of your upper bust and then do a bust adjustment. Fortunately I have plenty of fabric and can cut out the smaller chest size. Tips like these are absolute gems and I think these are the type of things people would like to know. I look forward to your next video .

Hi I have enjoyed listening to you talk about your courses. I am just at the beginning of my sewing journey and trying to learn as much as I can. I’m not interested in making bridal or evening dresses I just want to be able to adapt everyday patterns so that the garments I make fit. I am more interested in nightdresses lingerie and shirts and skirts. I have cut out a nightdress for myself and I’m learning about pattern drafting and making a man’s shirt. Any course advice would be welcome but I can only do online because I’m housebound and have poor health. I have been steadily collecting the tools and books I need. Thank you for providing this video I shall enjoy looking at the others that you have made.

Is this a useful book for fixing fitting issues with mens' clothes?

Super helpful! I really like your videos: clear, direct, well edified.

Thank you so much! This was a very helpful video.

Thank you for doing a thorough review of this book.

I truly thank you for such a wonderful video on a game changing book. I was debating whether I really needed it until I came across an issue while I embarked upon pattern drafting. I had purchased a few tools but didn’t take the time to learn how to properly use them thus my bodice work was a hot mess! She had a free hand out that I downloaded on the various tools including a “French Curve”. After viewing it then seeing it in the Amazon store I purchased it but was even more impressed when I found a video showing how to properly use it. Now my neck area and armhole’s are on point! Having the ebook makes it convenient to always have as a reference guide too😊

Very good❤❤❤❤❤

Really helpful.. it’s exactly what I need to do and for exactly the same reason. Thanks for working it out!

i just bought this book.. excited

Really informative and well explained. I appreciate the examples given. Thank you.

Just found your channel. Where have you gone? Would love to see more videos.

Thid video was great! I am looking to buy a fitting book but it is hard to know which is best for my learning style. Please keep reviewing books ❤

Thank you for this detailed review! I will definitely buy this book!

I agree with you. I think this is an excellent book. I bought the PDF E-book version today. This is the first time UA-cam has shown me Michelle's channel. Michelle, I love the print and style of your dress. It's nice to see someone so classy sharing their sewing skills and interests. We need more people to get back to handmade good quality and fitting garments.

Thanks for the review. Looks like a useful quick reference book which I’d use x

This is great thank you! Did you still cut the back facing on the fold if you put the zipper in the CB? Im wondering if you would still need to leave the seam allowance

Buongiorno, ci sono anche i pantaloni?

I just received a copy of this book and it is wonderful! The layout and videos (scan codes) are very nice. Visuals are always helpful. So happy you popped up in my feed. New subscriber and love your content😊. Thanks for sharing.

This is a very though review. Thanks .

I do agree, this is a great reference book. I Love it! I took Gina’s moulage course, witch is a great course too. I highly recommend both 😊

Wonderful, thank you. I’ve just made a pair of the wide legged trousers and would definitely prefer a zip and no elastic. Haven’t decided yet whether to put the zip in the side or back but can’t wait to give this a try. Brilliant!

Thanks so much for the review. Very helpful.

Fantastic review, just what I was looking for. Thank you 😊

Thanks just what I needed. Just wondered if there was a reason you opted for zip at CB rather than side- was it personal preference? Thanks

Thank you so much, Michelle! I really appreciate your honest feedback on my book, and that you took the time to explain it so well. This was a nice surprise to come across your video review. P.s. You have such a lovely and calm demeanor.

Wow! Just what I love: good, practical sewing info!

Can you post all the books that related to fitting?

I look forward to more reviews! I’ve now put this book on my Amazon wish list.

☹️ p͓̽r͓̽o͓̽m͓̽o͓̽s͓̽m͓̽

I got this book, I agree with your review, I think it's a great reference book.

This looks like a useful book and your review has been helpful. I have a couple of fitting books and have borrowed others from the library but this one seems to address issues not covered in these. Like one of your other commentators I had not heard of this before. Thank you.

Such a good start to a series! I really want to deep dive into fitting, but it seems quite overwhelming still. Your review helped very much, this book sounds like a very good start :D

Thank you for taking the time to generate this excellent tutorial. I retired and have been working on my sewing skills once again. I want to try this version of the pant next. You are skilled at explaining this pattern. Much appreciated.

Such a great hack! Thank you gor sharing!

Thanks, I had not heard about this book.

You really explain well. Thank you. I will certainly follow you.

Thank you. Very cleraly demonstrated.

I am so delighted to see you back!

I have made these 4 times in linen with the elastic waist (3 shorts, 1 pants view B). I’m planning to make them again in denim & was worried about the elastic being to thick. I am going to try your method with an invisible side zipper. Question - did you have any issues with removing 1 inch from the back side (I need to remove 1.5” from the side - 4.5” total per back half) or did that work out ok?

So clever!!! I made these with the elastic but I find the view unflattering if I tuck in my blouses. Thanks so much for this!

Thank you for this. I have used another hack that left the back waistband in place (shortened) and put the darts (one dart on each side and quite a bit off at the sides) in below in the pant leg part. I had to shorten the rise quite a bit, since I am rather short waisted. I also put the zipper in the back. I think I will Try your hack the next time😄

I tried to do this same hack recently but gave up - I attempted to force one VERY large dart which looked ridiculous. You’ve given me the tools to try again - thank you!
