Abstract

See full text

A method of altering clothing for a more aesthetic fit comprises the application of the Z-plasty surgical technique to clothing. The fabric is marked at the desired point of realignment with a “Z” pattern. The fabric is then cut along the marked “Z” creating two opposing triangular flaps. The flaps are pulled into their new position, with the angles from the center leg of the “Z” rotating to meet the angles of the upper and lower legs of the “Z.” The flaps are then stitched into place in the new position, completing the alteration and resulting in a more pleasing fit.
