june 2011 newsletter

Welcome to the Sure-Fit Designs June newsletter - Apples, Pears & Cucumbers?  No, it's not salad ingredients, but they might be your hip shape!

This month I’m focusing primarily on pants fitting with SFD.  Survey results show that the dominant fit issue/challenge is pants crotch fit - so let's solve those problems.

PS. Make sure to download the email images then listen as I introduce the June newsletter.

Answering Your Questions...

You've all asked some excellent questions.  In response to yet a few more...see the next 2 topics.

 

Dealing with an Asymmetrical Body?

Asymmetrical body shapes are different from one side to the other.  Very few of us have perfect body symmetry.  It really comes down to these questions.

1. How different is one side from the other?

2. How this is affecting the fit?

3. And, how best to deal with your situation?

Have a protruding tummy?  See a CF tune-up.

High on the list of major fitting issues is the protruding tummy fullness.  See how to modify CF on your pants pattern to accommodate this body shape.  Click here.

A Customer Comment...

I finally have a great fitting pair of pants, thanks to the Sure-Fit Designs system and the incredible assistance I received from Glenda.  In my opinion, she is the star of the system!  My original draft was easy to develop, and certainly fit me better than any 'straight from the envelop' pattern I've ever tried.  But my 'great fit' is entirely the result of endless patience and guidance from Glenda, addressing my severely tilted waist, uneven hips and various other figure issues.  Over the course of about 3 weeks, we exchanged emails working through all the problems, and Glenda always answered every one of my questions in a timely fashion.  Her service is exemplary, and I highly encourage anyone to give Sure-Fit Designs a try!
