I was rereading F. L. Zangrillo’s Fashion Design for the Plus Size yesterday , it has beautiful draping and pattern making notes, very cool. It also has those sweet nostalgic illustrations and that horrible nostalgic “problem zones” idea. still triggers me so much, still hear it sometimes when designing. Anyway, I just wanted to say that these design adjustments are not about hiding any “problem zones.” It’s simply that there is a certain beauty in classic tailoring logic, when garment points are aligned with key anatomical points, like the wrist bone and the shirt sleeve hem. So the garment should be aligned for various proportions - which brings us to the conclusion that a garment can have problem zones, but the human certainly can’t.
