\nI’ve got requests for more revamp-tutorials and more pricise instructions for fitting alterations. Completely accurate instructions for fitting alterations is tricky to give because every body is different and specific alterations are slightly different for each individual. And they also depend on the garment in question. However, general instructions I can give. Main principal is that it is always easier to make something smaller than larger. In most cases enlargening is impossible even.<\/p>\n
This time I got couple size too large, 60’s jacket without lining, made by seamstress. First job is to put it on and estimate the repairs needed. Check how the darts place, are they in correct place, do they need to be moved, deepened or does the garment need more of them.\u00a0 Sometimes adding more darts isn’t enough but you need to make intakes on the sideseams. Also check how the sleeves fit and are they on correct spot on the shoulder, size and shape of the neckline and\/or collar and the length of the garment.<\/p>\n
When estimate of the repairs is done, you can pin them to place. It’s tricky to do the fitting to yourself so it helps if you have friend assisting. Garment that doesn’t have lining is easier to pin if you are wearing it inside out. Then pins go directly to the correct place and you can sew right after the measurement check. Lined clothing is best to pin on the right side. If you are making large intakes it might be better if you take the sleeves off before fitting. These same basic instructions work for blouses and dresses aswell.<\/p>\n
First fitting and evaluation of repairs: Sleeves are off, fitting jacket inside out, Measure to make sure that intakes are symmetrical, amount has to be identical Try garment on again and pin the sleeve on the shoulder. In wellfitting \n Make the final little tune up and then it’s finished and ready for use.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/jacket1.jpg\" "\\"jacket1\\"")

\non both sides. If you are making darts, make sure they are on symmetrical places,
\nthey are equally deep and equally long. Carefully turn garment right side out
\nwith pins and try it on. This is to confirm the right amount of intakes.
\nDo same fitting to the sleeves. Sew new sideseams\/darts, cut off excess seam
\nallowances if needed and overlock, iron seams flat.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nPue vaate uudelleen p\u00e4\u00e4lle ja sovita kavennettu hiha olalle. Hyvin istuvassa
