ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for altering conventional clothing patterns are disclosed in which a series of measurements taken on a particular individual are used to construct alteration lines on a pattern which facilitate revision of the pattern to produce a garment particularly well fitted to the individual. Most body measurements taken on the individual are measured, directly or indirectly, from the point at which the arm joins the body at the underarm, thereby providing proper placement of armhole openings and appropriate shoulder slope to accomodate the individual's figure. A unique measuring template for facilitating measurements on the individual is also disclosed.
