Preparing the Waistcoat for a Fitting | Guide to a Bespoke Suit

This is part 2 of 4 in my guide to making a bespoke tailored waistcoat. This video guide covers using the pieces that were previously prepared to make a baste for a fitting. This is for trying on the waistcoat while still being able to make significant alterations so that it fits properly when it’s been made. The following guides cover making the waistcoat. You could skip making the waistcoat baste for the fitting and go directly to part 3 of making the waistcoat as both guides start from the end of this one.

I suggest referencing earlier content to better frame what I might do differently. There are fewer bespoke resources and it’s a different process to production garment making.
