FIT SLEUTH SESSION

For brands who have an in-house team but want 20+ years of experience in their fitting room.

Have your cake and eat it too.

Have your cake and eat it too.

Sure, you'd love a fit expert in-house. But you'd also like a killer photoshoot, epic customer service and office drinks on Friday.


Budgets are budgets.


So you've hired the junior or mid-level team member who makes sense for where your business is right now.


What if you could keep your team and add senior-level fit expertise when you actually need it?

That's where the Fit Sleuth comes in.

I'll join your fittings and bring 20+ years of pattern making, garment development and factory-floor experience to the room.


Not just “there's a drag line here.”


What caused it?


What happens if you pinch here?


Will that solve the problem, or simply move it somewhere else?


I'll give your team specific, actionable fit solutions for the vision you're trying to achieve, with everything documented so they can take it straight into the next stage of development.

You keep your team. I add the experience.

Why a Fit Sleuth?

A fit note can tell you what to change.

A Fit Sleuth helps you understand why you're changing it, what will happen when you do, and whether there's a better way to get there.

Because pattern changes don't happen in isolation.

Move one thing and something else can start misbehaving.

So when we're fitting, I'm looking beyond the obvious:

Fit. Movement. Function. Wearability. Construction. Production.

All the things that need to work together before that garment earns its place in your collection.

Think of me as your technical sounding board with a very good memory for what happens next.

I'm basically your grainline. I've got your back on the straight and narrow.

For anyone who needs “she’s not just a pattern-maker, she’s a fit sleuth”

Can this be a regular thing, not just a one off?

Can this be a regular thing, not just a one off?

Absolutely, some brands book a single session when they need it, others prefer regular fittings (weekly, fortnightly, or grouped into a pack like 4 sessions) so there's consistent senior oversight through a season. We'll scope it around your calendar.

One missed fitting call, one sizing mixup, one round of unnecessary samples, any of those can cost thousands in delays, remakes or excess stock. A couple of hours with an experienced eye in the room costs a fraction of that, and it's the difference between catching it and living with it.

Can we work together remotely?

Can we work together remotely?

Absolutely. A lot of the work can be done remotely, and it’s easier than you might think.

Fit sessions can happen via video call, with a fit model and someone on your end to hold the camera and make adjustments or pin the garment as we go. I can see the fit in real time and talk you through exactly what I’m seeing and what needs changing.

So, whether you’re down the road or across the country, we can make it work.
