fitting book recommendation
sewin44 Member since 3/4/12 Posts: 3	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 12/18/12 7:52 AM I would like to buy a book on fitting. I especially need help with my 7 yr old daughters forward sloping shoulders/narrow chest. I'm trying to sew a basic dress with flat, fitted sleeves at the shoulder, not dropped. (I get bodices that want to pull from the underarm to center neck.) Could some one recommend a book or two that you think would be most likely to help me? Thankyou!

Date: 12/18/12 2:31 PM I have a lot of fitting books and my favorite is probably the recently released Photo Guide to Fitting by Veblen. I think that the photos really make a big difference in understanding how to read the problem. I do feel that no one fitting book handles everything and I'd also get the Palmer pletsch book as well. ------ www.nancyksews.blogspot.com
