Even with computers, it’s very difficult to take a design that was made on a mannequin and create the perfect pattern. “If you don’t know the real technique, there’s no other remedy!” says Pisano. “My technique is the fruit of many years of fashion experience and study which have been used in both Italy and Paris. My book about patterns, ‘The Tailoring Bible’ is a proven system on creating the perfect pattern which is essential to a garment with an amazing fit. It’s not about making a lot of changes; it’s about getting it right the first time. This saves the client time because they can have a perfectly fitting garment in two fittings instead of five like many other custom tailors.”
