Top Down Center Out TDCO

acoca | Posted in Fitting on

Hey all,

After a while reading and seeing people speak wonders of Ruth Collin’s TDCO method I finally put time aside to try it out, and it was amazing. 

I decided to try it on someone else to see how it works from the outside. She has a pretty small waist and bigger hips, and she has always struggled to find pants that fit. It was very easy to adapt the pattern to her body, so the waistband sits where she chose, and the rest of the fabric drapes around her body nicely. She couldn’t believe how good the prototype already looked.

Now I just have to go and make the pants!

Has anybody else tried it?

The instructions may seem intense at first sight but once you sit down with it, it actually is quite easy and straightforward.

I’d love to hear other people’s experiences!

Cheers,
AC

      Rights and plagiarism aside (I wonder if she had permission from the creator to teach it or credited her properly), if you enjoyed Stern's version I would recommend you check out the content from original source (Ruth's work). Her writing can be technical but the depth of understanding she offers is well worth exploring (especially if you want different kinds of pants).

      Cheers,
      AC
