Abstract: A plastic pattern form for customized fitting a person, comprising plastic sheet material having basic patterns printed thereon with the pattern indicating certain reference positions and lines for accurate placement of the pattern on the person together with indicated darts and seams ordinarily designed to go with the size pattern, and numbers indicating possible figure variations from the norm that will require size changes within the body of the pattern itself rather than at the seam lines; and a method of providing customized fitting utilizing said plastic pattern form, which comprises the steps of, attaching tapes to the figure being fitted including a chest tape extending around the figure and through the underarm areas, a waist tape extending around the waistline and a hip tape extending around the hips and through the high round areas of the seat, measuring the horizontal and vertical distances from reference points and the tapes to indicate distances to seam lines, laying said measurements plus standard allowances over the plastic sheet material and indicating areas of adjusted seam positions, altering the size of the pattern when necessary to correct certain unusual figure measurements so that the measured seam will fall close to the indicated probable seam on the plastic pattern, placing the pattern over the figure with matched reference positions and pinning the plastic to the tape with the darts and seams of the pattern pinned to indicate the proper darts and seam lines, and marking said seam lines and darts to indicate a customized three dimensional fit on the two dimensional plastic patterns, and altering a paper pattern selected for making a garment so as to have its seam lines and darts correspond with those of the plastic pattern together with style allowances, whereby paper patterns may be corrected both internally and at the seams in order to indicate the proper cut for customized fitting.
