Stop choosing your size based on your bust measurement alone. Discover the five structural measurements that dictate how a garment hangs, moves, and sits across your shoulders.
Have you ever finished a jumper or cardigan that technically fitted your chest, yet found that the shoulders slid off or the back pulled tightly every time you reached for a high shelf or a cup of tea?
In this complimentary 20-page guide, designer Natalie Warner breaks down the skeletal reference points needed to map your body for a lifetime of flawless garment projects.
Inside this complimentary garment fit guide, you’ll discover:
- Shoulder Length vs. Neckline Placement
How to use your neck-shoulder-point to accurately predict where set-in, raglan, and drop sleeves will sit before casting on; - The Back Width and Shoulder Width Relationship
Why measuring across your shoulder blades reveals whether you need contoured armhole shaping, vertical darts, or short-row back adjustments; - The Key to Measuring Armhole Depth
How to establish a permanent armhole depth reference that won’t shift with weight fluctuations or changing yarn gauges; - Accurate Nape-to-Waist Mapping
Step-by-step instructions to locate your natural waistline and eliminate back waist fabric pooling or draughts in tailored silhouettes.
“Thank you so much! I love your approach to fitting. I’m a beginner knitter but have sewn for years and was sure fitting would be similar! This has really helped crystallise what I suspected! I’ll follow your work.”
