The "Sewing with Nancy" Show has an episode on that a while back. You may want to look for her website

I agree with MoonPi......Nancy has a unique method of altering patterns so they fit PERFECTLY. If you do a lot of garment sewing, you may want to check out her book on Altering patterns ( I believe in the $30 range ) and since it allows you to really customize any pattern, is well worth the cost.
