The grade preserved measurements—but lost the design line.
14 · Fit and grading
The starting point
Size increments were applied mechanically without reviewing visual proportion.
The development decisions
01
Identify non-linear transitions.
02
Review design lines and coverage.
03
Record size-specific corrections.
The approval checkpoints
Corrected grade rules and representative size-set samples.
For a new project with the same issue, connect these checkpoints to the style reference, sample revision and responsible reviewer. An approval for one garment does not establish the performance of a different material, size or construction.
