I recently upgraded to Dress Shop 8 and was rather disappointed in the directions for marking the body given in the users guide. I see that you can purchase a CD that is supposed to explain the marking process in detail, but this is information that should be included with the program; is there any place online where this is shown or explained more clearly? In particular, marking the underarm and side seam is ambiguous, as well as the part about letting the string drop down the side of your body for the side seam- what if when it's weighted, it doesn't hang straight on the lower part of the body? The instructions for taking the inseam are ambiguous as well...please help
A weighted string can ONLY hang straight. Gravity wont allow anything else. It is a plumb bob.
In program udner size > On the chart page click HELP - follow the links for marking and measuring. The user Manual is also available Under Help> User Manual.
Page specific help is available in every area of the program.
