Here is what happens during a fitting with the patternmaker at Campus Couture:
We have a fit model ready to try on the samples...in this case it was our lovely intern Jessica. Jessica has on a bandeau bra top that we are doing for our spring line. It will be going under a dress similar to the grey top she has on as well as another top. The fit of the bandeau top was good and didn't need any adjustments so we moved on to the next item....
These are a pair of shorts that we are also doing for spring. We didn't like how they were fitting so we are examining them closely and offering suggestions to the patternmaker on how she can improve the pattern to get a better fit.
We have two fit samples so we had the fit model try on both shorts in order to compare fit. In the above picture we are comparing the length of the side seams for both samples to see which one we liked better.
After we finished the fitting we discussed two new patterns with the patternmaker. The next two styles she will be working on are a crop top and a baseball raglan tee. We went over the tech packs with her (which are instructions for fabrication, sewing, and measurements).
Here we are double checking a measurement that the patternmaker had a question about. All the measurements for a garment go into the tech pack and are called "specs".
So, the patternmaker will make the changes we requested on the shorts and then start on the two new patterns we gave her.
