In this video, the experts at Threads magazine demonstrate how to properly fit the torso -- the foundation of any garment -- and the best place to begin the fitting process.

Amber Eden, Editor in Chief and Judith Neukam, Senior Technical Editor, show you all the subtle fitting methods professionals use to get the right fit from neck to waist, including:

• getting the right measurements
• adjusting for your shoulder slope
• using darts to end gaping armholes forever
• getting a comfortable fit across the back and upper chest
• adjusting to fit a full abdomen

Plus, fashion designer Kenneth D. King provides an overall look at the basic principles of fitting.

This video series is produced by the editors of Threads magazine, which is a trusted sewing resource with valuable information for all skill levels.
