Fitting Finesse
Fitting Finesse by Nancy Zieman
This is the book I use as my text when teaching my Commercial Pattern Fitting for Re-enactors class. It's the one I recommend for anyone who is not a perfect size 6 plastic model!

From the Publisher: Fitting Finesse is a painless approach to fitting-both for you and your pattern! Using the methods outlined in this book, you will find that valuable sewing time will always result in a garment with a comfortable, attractive fit. With helpful tips from expert Nancy Zieman, the Fitting Finesse approach includes easy pivot-and-slide techniques. Hardcover, 144 pages, ISBN 0848714865. Used - like new. This book is out of print.
ONE copy available.
Price: $10.00
