In the world of fashion, finding the perfect fit is an art.
To be truly well-dressed requires more than an elegant design or a prestigious brand name. Rather, the key to looking your best comes down to knowing where a garment should fit, and what to do when it doesn’t. But fortunately, attaining the ideal fit doesn't have to be difficult.

In this timeless guide, acclaimed sewer Adele P. Margolis offers simple instructions for creating clothing that flatters, as well as numerous how-to drawings and styling tips. Over the course of nine chapters, you will learn how to:

• Choose the right size, figure type and foundation
• Use color theory and lines to create a flattering fit
• Transform flat patterns into garments
• Alter patterns to fit your or anyone's figure
• Use the most flattering fabric for the figure you are fitting
• Make and use a basic pattern and dress form
• Stitch in and block in the shape of fashion
• Choose styles with an eye toward skillful fitting
• Make and fit a trial muslin
• Plus great suggestions on fitting procedures
