Fitting Evaluation

With work experience, I didn't have too much time to put the toile together before the first fitting. This resulted in my fitting taking longer than I expected - the sleeve in particular took quite a while to figure out.
Despite how long it took, I think the fitting went ok. The jacket fitted ok, just needed to take in the back seams and readjust where the lapel lay. I had a lot of problem fitting the sleeve in.

Changes made:
  • Side seam taken in and moved forward.
  • Centre pleat made bigger.
  • Side pleats made bigger.
  • Armhole made bigger.
  • Sleeve taken in.
  • Lapel shape changed.
  • The jacket does up the wrong way so the sides need to be changed.
This fitting helped me to work out the final shape of the jacket and trousers and what I need to do next. After easter I will begin to adapt the jacket into pattern pieces to use to cut out my top fabric.
