Adaptation of the pattern

The sewing pattern couture line meets certain standards, regardless of the number of sizes on offer and the measurements shown in the chart. Every body is unique, and the beauty of sewing is to break away from standards to achieve a result that's just like you. Hence the need to always sew a canvas, as a rough draft of the garment, to check how it fits and what alterations to make.
