Show By Carolyn Monson Tribune Fashion Editor PROVO The only similarity between one human body and another is function. Bodies are as individual as the minds that inhabit them. A body cant even count on her two arms or feet being equal. Is it any wonder, then, that clothes don't fit small, medium and large and even r sized clothing fall short of properly fitting anyone, save that mythical model, size 6, 5 feet 7 inches, who stands in for the rest of the world as standard size Designers and manufacturers know the problem and provide separates. We can choose a size 10 jacket and size 12 skirt to cover a body that doesnt conform. There are still a lot of jackets and skirts that dont exactly fit. We live with clothes because there is no alternative. Or is there? Theres the possibility of making clothes yourself or having someone make them for you. Dont count on finding a pattern that fits. Della Pottsberg-Steineckerassistant professor in the clothing and textiles department, Brigham Young University, said that in seven years of teaching, she has yet to find a college student that fits a pattern, supposedly bought for size. Even a dress form, the dressmaker's answer to seeing the relationship between a flat pattern and a round body, falls short of the answer to fit perfection. At BYU, the dress form is called a committee because of its universal sizing. Mrs. Pottsberg-Steinecker- t, with Elizabeth L. Liechty, assistant professor, clothing and textiles, at BYU and Judith Rasband, Home Economist in Business, formerly a BYU instructor, have written a book solving the problem of creating clothing that fits. The book, Fitting And Pattern Alteration: A d Approach is published by Fairchild Books & Visuals, 7 E. 12th Street, New York, N.Y. 10003. The cost is $22.50.
