Over the Labor Day holiday I ordered two fitting books. I have the Palmer/Pletsch 'Fit for Real People' purchased when I started sewing. As I plan to start pants shortly, I got the Palmer/Pletsch ' Pants for Real People' and also Sarah Veblen's 'Complete Photo Guide to Perfect Fitting'.
I was planning to just use fashion fabric for the next version of the tunic with minor pattern alterations (other than the sleeve head). However, I think I may just go back and make another muslin of the tunic, this time working in the fitting axis instructions from the Sarah Veblen book. I'm particularly interested in working with the Horizontal Balance Line (HBL) which I've previously read about online, but not done. It would be interesting to see how the fit is with those reference points first as there may be more alterations that aren't obvious without those markers.
Besides, I'm still stuck on the fashion fabric version since I've planned to underline with white Batiste and have not gotten it as yet. Also want to play with embroidering on the facing.
