Seems very similar to SureFit Designs that I purchased. I haven't yet had time to try all the kits but I made my bodice and skirt blocks and have used them to alter commercial patterns. Very easy and the absolute best fit I've ever achieved. If only I had more time......... SureFit is a bit less than that system as well.

I'd forgotten about the Sure-Fit system. And you're right...it's substantially less expensive (but still out of my price range for the time being, lol). ------ Paula "In Seattle you haven't had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine while it's running." - Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com founder Visit my blog at www.sewconfused.blogspot.com

I'd like to have seen the sleeves done on the video, and (crucial point) the sleeve curves matched with the armscye curves. ------ so many patterns, clamouring to be sewn http://patternpandemonium.wordpress.com/

marymary86 Intermediate GA USA Member since 7/20/08 Posts: 2195	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 8/9/11 9:20 AM newb question though. Since the pattern is drafted using bust, waist and hips, doesn't it assume each measurement is divided in half? So if I'm small busted but broad backed or if I have a large protruding tummy and a flat rear, I could still end up with an ill fitting pattern right? ------ Mary http://checkmatesystem.com

Those curves just don't look right when compared with my hip curve, etc. Cat ------ www.pinkededges.com
