This video, the fourth in a series on fitting skirt blocks, addresses specific fit challenges and provides solutions for achieving a smooth and comfortable fit. It builds upon previous fitting techniques, focusing on adjustments for common figure variations.

The video begins by addressing the issue of thighs wider than hips, which often results in creases and pulls in the skirt. Izzy explains how measuring the gap between the hip and thigh helps determine the necessary adjustments. This measurement guides the amount of fabric that needs to be added to accommodate the thigh's widest point.

She then demonstrates how to adjust the side seam. For a two-centimeter adjustment, one centimeter is added to both the front and back side seams. This balanced approach ensures the skirt hangs correctly and accommodates the thigh without distorting the overall silhouette.

The video also covers sway back adjustments. Izzy explains how to remove excess fabric at the back waistband to create a smooth fit without affecting the front of the garment. Proper measurements are essential for this adjustment, ensuring the back of the skirt lies flat and comfortably against the body.

Another common fitting challenge addressed is accommodating a prominent belly. Izzy explains how adding volume to the skirt can eliminate drag lines and improve comfort. She demonstrates how to increase volume by adjusting the center front seam, adding a total of four centimeters (two on each side). This adjustment targets the tummy area while maintaining the original waistline measurement.

Finally, the video emphasizes the importance of overall fit adjustments for a smooth silhouette. Izzy stresses the need to eliminate gathers and puckers, ensuring the garment hangs cleanly. She also highlights the importance of checking the fit while sitting and moving to ensure comfort and ease of movement. The video concludes by reiterating the importance of these fitting techniques for achieving a perfectly fitting skirt.
