Tissue Fitting- does it look right? Simplicity 2556 Vest
lbreton Intermediate IN USA Member since 7/12/09 Posts: 62	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/29/12 4:54 PM I just started with a tissue fitting after doing an FBA on the D cup version of this vest- I'm more than a D so I thought it would be a good idea. I had to take some of the tissue out after doing too large of an FBA. Does this look right? I don't know if I'm missing something. This is my first vest and I'm going to be making it out of some nice quality fabric, so I'd love to get it right. Thanks. Front side view tissue fitting: I didn't hold it against my body but I do believe the front hits at my center Back -- Edited on 1/29/12 4:58 PM --

Is the CF going straight up &down at the middle of your body? And it's hard to tell, but do you also need a forward shoulder adjustment? For me, this would be the point where I make a muslin. There's only so much you can do at the tissue stage! ------ A balanced diet is a cupcake in each hand.

I think I might need a shoulder adjustment. I'll look up the one you mentioned. I've never done any shoulder adjustments before. I've had to focus so much of the learning curve on the FBA. thanks! Muslin is next.

Is your side seam perpendicular and dissecting your ? The shoulder seam is not at the top of your shoulder, but I can't tell if it's a forward shoulder or if the whole seam needs to come forward. Regardless that this is a double breasted vest, the cf has to be at your center front and not be swinging out to the side. ------ www.nancyksews.blogspot.com

That way you will be able to pin the front together and get a better look at how the side seams, center front and shoulders are doing.
