Field Scenario
During a fitting session, a swimsuit top feels wrong to a fit model, but they only know how to describe it as “just uncomfortable.”
What You Actually Coach
- Identify and describe specifically where the discomfort is happening (a strap, a seam, a specific edge)
- Describe how it feels wrong — pulling, gaping, restricting movement — not just that it feels off
- Use precise fitting vocabulary the pattern maker can actually act on
- Recognize that vague feedback like “just uncomfortable” doesn’t give the team anything actionable
