I've worked with many fitting methods over the years and have found that some of them leave you chasing your tail, as one fitting adjustment creates the need for more. Through experimentation and experience, I've developed a method that solves fit issues one by one, logically and without guesswork. Best of all, it achieves a high level of refinement regardless of your shape or size. Your goal in fitting any garment is for it to hang plumb, with its hem parallel to the floor. Even if you work with a muslin directly on the body, it can be difficult to know for sure that you've managed this. By adding a fitting grid to the muslin, however, you create clear, fixed visual refer- ence lines you can see and measure from, so reaching perfect alignment requires no vague "eyeballing."
