Tissue Fitting Checklist

___ Check the back width.
___ Adjust for bustline fullness.
___ Check for a high, round back (between neck and shoulder blades).
___ Check midriff and waistline fit.
___ Check back waist and front waist length.
___ Check the shoulder seam position in relation to the shoulder pivot point.
___ Slip the sleeve on and check for enough ease at the full upper arm; for the correct elbow fullness in a fitted sleeve; and for the correct sleeve length.
___ Check waistline, tummy, derriere and hip fit in skirts/pants.
___ Adjust for length as needed, making sure the hemline is an even distance from the floor all around. If it hangs lower in back, pull the tissue up under the waistline elastic until it's even.
