This third fitting was opted for due to the complexity of the adjustments needed in the second fitting, especially in relation to the frontal balance of the jacket, before finishing the suit off. Please refer to the previous parts.

Now we have pretty much everything sorted and the jacket sits properly on DS with the right amount of opening of the quarters at the bottom. With shortening of the sleeves a tad, I am now happy to finish off the jacket.

Will post the final product in a few weeks time.

Part 2 of the the bespoke fitting for DS

Continuing from the part one...(http://subskin.tumblr.com/post/92706070492)

Apart from the minor adjustments here and there, I am readjusting the collar  for a tighter fit around the neck of DS and ultimately for a better overall balance (mainly for the front panels of the jacket). After I have done that I decide to lift the back panels for the correct front to back balance of the jacket: tighter fitting collar lifted the front of the jacket and the back needed to be lifted as well to be balanced correctly. I will compensate the length of the jacket at the hem, front and back). 

This is a first commission by DS (second fitting) and everything that we adjust on the fitting garment will be also adjusted on DS's paper pattern too. 

Part 3 to be continued...
