Achieve a Perfect Fit Through Basted Fittings

To ensure a superior fit, Alan David employs a traditional basted fitting. At this stage, the garment is temporarily assembled with loose basting thread, allowing clients to try it on while adjustments can still be made. This process makes it possible to refine posture, balance, and shoulder line, while also incorporating basic changes such as shortening sleeves

The basted fitting provides assurance that every measurement is precise and that the garment will deliver the highest level of comfort.
