Thanks :)

I'm so glad you have the book and that you find it informative!

This varies greatly based on the type of movement you want and every size has different cap heights. There is no set rule to what cap height is best.

It seems like you do :) I'm happy you enjoyed the little fashion history part. It really helps see the bigger picture.

You are so welcome!

I'm happy you found it helpful!

You're welcome! 😊

I'm so happy the video was helpful! 🎉

Yes, that's correct!

Adding a diamond gusset usually helps for the movement of the arm. It tends to raise the armhole position slightly. The cap height is the most important thing to reduce draglines.

@ Interesting! Thank you for your reply! ❤️

Yes, it is!

Great question! Since this book offers hundreds of designs, each one would require a unique approach to translating it into a pattern. Factors like fabric choice, silhouette, level of ease, and fit preferences all play a role in how a design should be constructed. Including detailed instructions for transferring each design into a pattern would make the book incredibly complex and lengthy. Instead, the book focuses on guiding you through the design process to build a cohesive wardrobe and inspire your creativity. The goal is to provide inspiration and structure for building a wardrobe you love!

Aww, that's so nice of you to say! It's wonderful to hear that The Fitting Book has been so helpful and valuable in your fitting journey. Thank you for being part of the community! 😊

This correction is shown on pages 119 & 120 of The Fitting Book. The correction in the book adds a side dart, but you can also forego the side dart and just shorten up the side seam the depth of the side dart.

@ thank you!!

I'm happy it was helpful!

You're welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful.

Absolutely! Combining different pieces really brings out a unique style. I’m excited for you to dive in and explore how the designs come to life when matched together.

That sounds like a perfect use for the book! Having a collection of styles at your fingertips can definitely spark new ideas and bring fresh inspiration to your sewing projects. I’m so glad it’s helping you explore new designs for yourself. 😊

Espero que lo disfrutes :)

It's only in English :)

That's fantastic!

I recommend following the pattern correction found on page 154 of The Fitting Book. You can pin the garment the amount you want to reduce at the cap area and slash out just at the cap area :)

@@GinaRenee thanks. I will do.

I'm so glad the tips for customizing croquis without Photoshop were helpful! I hope The Fashion Design Book inspires you even more on your design journey. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm, and happy designing!

It can be such a headache when you get a garment that seems to be the wrong way around. I'm glad the video was helpful.

Hi! My Spanish channel is @GinaReneeEspanol, where you can watch the videos I have available in Spanish. Please keep in mind that not all my content is available in Spanish. If you want to see something in Spanish, you can enable the auto-generated subtitles in the video's control bar.

Great question :) I recommend going for the curvy version because the shape is a bit closer to the middle croquis, and it tends to be a little easier to downsize.

I'm glad you found it interesting. There are so many methods and ways of drawing croquis. You definitely can just use the traced outline of your body as an easy and quick method. However, I teach this method because design schools generally teach drawing croquis in terms of "head" lengths. It's a way to start understanding the body's proportions in a more detailed way rather than just tracing the outline of the body. Once you start understanding the body's proportions, it also helps you with designing and sewing in envisioning silhouettes.

@@GinaRenee Ok, that makes sense. Developing the eye seems to be important just about anywhere, isn't it? I'm going to try this...

You're welcome! I'm happy you liked them.

It's great you want to try them! A customized croquis is a game-changer in the design process.

@@GinaRenee I wish you had one for men.

I teach an online course showing how to make the pattern based on your measurements. To learn more, you can join the free mini-course here: www.ginareneedesigns.com/free-pattern-making-course/

I'm so glad you like it! Happy sewing!

It's the Fitting Book, you can see all the buying options in English and in Spanish here: www.ginareneedesigns.com/the-fitting-book-printed/

Yes, most garments are in between the two examples. Most garments will still have some draglines but that allows for movement of the arm. It’s a matter of finding balance between the look of draglines and ease of movement.

You're welcome 😊

I'm so glad the video was helpful and resonated with your experience! It's amazing how those small details can make such a difference. It's great you found something that clicked, and it's great you ordered the book! I hope it continues to support you on your sewing journey.

I use a MacBook Pro and an iPad. But anything will work as long as it can support heavy design programs. The software is either Adobe illustrator or procreate for drawing.

@@GinaRenee Thanks for your response

There are companies that create data sets of body measurements. Then they categorize the data based on customers' age ranges, demographics, and interests. These companies sell the data to clothing companies and customize it to each brand based on who their target customer is. Then the clothing company finds fit models in their target sample size and do fittings on a live model that represents their target customers.
