RE: [h-cost] Clothes fitting

A friend of mine works at Levi and says they have MANY more sizes available, which you can try, and then they will tweak the closest fit for you and keep the info, so that whenever you want another pair, you just phone and have them sent. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [h-cost] Clothes fitting

Sharon, That is great news! How do we go about fitting ourselves for the MANY more sizes? Who do we contact? Any idea of the cost? Susan Slow down. The trail is the thing, not the end of the trail. Travel too fast and you miss all you are traveling for.  - Ride the Dark Trail by Louis

Sigh, if only I had a horse! (And had ridden more recently than 16 or 17 years ago.) I can shoot and I can sew... -E House ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

RE: [h-cost] Clothes fitting - gotta start somewhere

Though the article /link is still not available for some reason, this is something that I have dealt with MANY times in my fashion classes with my students. The problem is that many stores have a fit model and makes everything to fit that one person or dressform. The other problem is that there

Re: [h-cost] Clothes fitting - gotta start somewhere

You mean that somewhere in the world there's someone that might sell size 30 pants as standard? Both my husband and older son (and my younger son's heading that way) are this size, and they mostly have to end up in 32s with a belt (or in my 16yo's case, size 32 around his hips with his

I quite agree - I am a very strange shaped person, the upper half of my body can fit in a boys 18-20 fairly well, the lower half needs a ladies 10 short rise 32 inseam (or a Petite sz 10 with extra leg length). I need boy's shirts because they have 4 extra inches in the torso, 3 extra inches

Re: [h-cost] Clothes fitting - gotta start somewhere

An observation that I thought interesting- We live in NJ. It is easy to find inseam lengths for men that are 36 inches. VERY difficult to find 28 or 30 inch inseams. Years ago, we took a vacation to Hawaii. We stopped by the Alamoana Mall's Sears store. Lo and behold- LOTS of 28 inseam

[h-cost] GFD related question - tracing final pieces onto paper

Hi everyone, I'm helping a friend to fit an early 16th century Venetian bodice (what's often referred to as the 'Italian ren' style) and I want it to support her bust without a bra so I'm basically working from Robin's worksheets to get an idea of how to do that (though it's obviously somewhat

Re: [h-cost] GFD related question - tracing final pieces onto paper

snip I can't help you there, as I never transfer to paper. I keep the original linen pieces. When I use them as a template, I iron them out and straighten out the grain lines, and match them to the grain lines on the new fabric. snip --Robin Gee, that was fast. But if you're using the pieces
