As an older person I can't say it enough times, we live in exciting times! The detail an amount of information given by a Professional in a field(in this case Ms. Zoe Hong)would of been basically imposible to get decades ago. Wow Zoe Hong listening and watching this video forces us to look at Ready To Wear and fast fashion completely different. Thanks for all these videos and information you provide through this wonderful channel!

Among all the manufacturing and warehousing jobs I’ve had, I worked as the janitor in a garment factory for awhile. I was efficient at the job, so over the months I read everything on every pin-board in the place. That, and the kind and appreciative women working there kept me sane. I ran out of reading material eventually, but then I got asked to sweep the rooms where they did the spec items. Hoorah! More charts and diagrams to read! This brings more clarity to what I had surmised from the information lying around. And explains a lot about the insane, and clever, design decisions, and manufacturing choices I see in the diversity of garments at thrift stores. It’s good to know how things are done, for anything.

@@pagansunite4005 depends, if you have narrow hips you can climb in from the top of garment , if you have narrow shoulders you can lower it down over your shoulders, if you have a shoulder and hip that are wider, then your waist your not gonna be able to climb in or lower it down if its a fixed fabric with no ease or stretch, soo that being said i still feel the option would be to extend the zipper int ehback lower slightly a few inches beyone were one would expect the fullest hump of there bum would be, so they could just climb in. cuz you have your own circumfrunce and your widge and round shape is also unique you can have 5 people with same 40 measurement hips but they be differently shaped if you look athe actual full shape of that measure ment.

Flaw: When the dress is unzipped the person still could not get into it due to the straps being permanently sewn. They need to release somehow so the person could step into the dress with the zip open. Is that the error or am I wrong...need to know so I can learn from this. Thanks for the lesson. Learned alot. Thank you.

Thank you for all this information Zoe! I decided to start teaching myself to sew because I am tired of never finding anything that fits me correctly without having to pay tons of money I don't have. I bought a pattern and when I started sewing it I realized wow, this is total crap, I'm going to have to learn more if I'm going to make the quality clothing I set out to make. I'm not trying to mass produce, only make myself and my children clothing. Thank you so much! Like someone else already said this type of information was previously unavailable anywhere except in a fashion design class. Very grateful for you.

It's hard to fit yourself. Only be your company's fit model if you have people who can do the fitting. Your fit model, whoever it is, should be the middle size of your offered size range. If you do XS-S-M-L-XL, you should chose a M size fit model, make your sample patterns in the M, otherwise you could have problems in grading.

You do the sample size first until you get the perfect fitting sample. And then you need to the measurements for all the other sizes too based off your sample size. This is called your grade rule.

The odd flaw is the zipper. While you still be able to put the dress on if you either step in or raise it up over your head it just a little bit easier if the zipper was on the side. Also, the zipper could be shorter because the circle skirt increases its circumference so greatly that the hips or shoulders can pass through it with a shorter zipper. And that would cut on costs.
