'I've just used your block-making instructions to fit a doublet - wish I'd had them years ago. I've always used the toile method, but the step-by-step instructions, and examples of the shapes you might get for different figures, are so clear, and give such a good fit. The sleeve isntructions also give a much better result. I made a trial sleeve by each method, so I can vouch for it!'
