Johanna and Malena chat about one of the simplest but most powerful fitting tweaks you can make, adding or removing length in just the right places.
Whether you’re tall, petite, or just a unique human being (like all of us! ), you’ll learn how to adjust your patterns so your clothes sit exactly where they should.
Malena explains why length adjustments should always come first in your fitting order and shares the best ways to adjust the length of your patterns. And Johanna talks about how understanding her height (or lack thereof) made her more accepting of her body and why RTW clothes seldom fit her.
