Is it ok to ask for fitting help in a review?
Jeanine Intermediate MI USA Member since 4/8/02 Posts: 26	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 6/25/05 9:06 PM I just reviewed a Skort for the sole purpose of getting opinions on the fit. Is that ok? I did discuss the pattern, but my main objective was to get help. I thought I might have a wider audience on the review page than here. If I should be posting for help on the message board instead of in a review, let me know. Jeanine -- Edited on 6/25/05 10:07 PM --

On the other hand, if it's simply a question about technique or involves patterndrafting, there are own forums for those. You might want to make questions before you start anything you have never done before and making a muslin before you even start helps a lot.

I think it's more useful to ask on the boards since the topic can draw attention to your request. I only read an occasional review of something I might consider making, and look to them for getting information, would never know if one includes a request for help. ------ Buy the best and you only cry once.

I didn't add any fitting help, since folks better than I had already done so. But I agree. As long as it's a "real" review, which yours was, asking for fitting help is very appropriate. I thought it looked good on you, BTW. Not too much tweaking required. ------ With a great wardrobe that's still in the flat-fabric stage.

You could also link to that thread from the review for those that don't necessarily post to the boards often. ------ -- "I base my fashion sense on what doesn't itch." — Gilda Radner http://stitchesandseams.blogspot.com
