In many ways, success in tailoring depends on taking into account the individual characteristics of a person’s figure. The general classification distinguishes three types - oblique, proportional and inflected body constitution. You need to take into account that all people are different. Differences in fatness, height, leg and arm length play an important role in the design of clothing. Fashion designers separately calculate all measurements down to the smallest detail. For example, a suit will fit completely differently on a person with straight shoulders compared to a model with high or low shoulders.

A common problem in women's clothing is the relationship between the bust and hips and other parts of the body. An excessively small bust or too large hips force craftsmen to select a special cut for outfits. It allows you to highlight your advantages and hide your flaws. No pattern given in a magazine or on the Internet can fit measurements perfectly in most cases.You will need to make your own adjustments, the extent of which can be discussed already during the first fitting. The figure, its type, variety, features are determined by the master only when taking measurements.

Beginning craftswomen often have a question - a curved figure - what is it and what are its features? Owners of this type have a narrow, short back, while the chest remains quite wide. The buttocks protrude noticeably with a narrow waist. Approximate parameters that an inflected figure has:

• The length of the back to the waist level on the back is less than the length line from the neck to the waist in the front;
• The width of the chest is greater than the width of the back at half girth;
• The first half-volume of the chest is at least five centimeters less than the second half-volume;
• The second semicircle of the chest is six centimeters less than the semicircle of the hips;
• The half-volume of the waist is eleven centimeters less than the second half-volume of the chest.

Pattern for a curved figure - construction features

Sewing clothes for people with curved figures according to the pattern has its own characteristics. The key problem in this case is the appearance of a hump on the back. A dart at the waist is not always able to help solve the problem. The reason for the appearance of excess material does not lie in the excessive width. It consists of an excessively long back. The main task is to remove the length. How to do it:

1. Lay out the back half of the product. Draw a horizontal segment three centimeters from the armhole. Next, three centimeters later, draw an identical line parallel to the first segment. Using these straight lines we adjust the side seam.
2. Shift the middle back seam line a centimeter towards the waist.
3. We draw a segment from the waist to the bottom, gradually bringing it together with the primary straight line.
4. If the model has a very wide back, narrowing towards the middle seam is not required.
5. We cut the back part and combine two horizontal sections. We remove the excess edge. The length of the back was reduced by two centimeters. The changes did not affect the shoulders, neckline or other details.
6. The side seam line was shortened by two centimeters. The front needs to be leveled. The side seam dart is extended by half a centimeter. This helps to increase the solution. The sides need to be aligned and adjusted again. The front remains the same length, the sides have shrunk by two centimeters.
