looseovertight
Looseovertight, also known as "loose over tight" or "LOT," is a technique used in the fashion industry to create a tailored fit for garments. The process involves sewing a loose pattern onto a tighter, more fitted garment, such as a bodysuit or a bodice. This method allows for the creation of custom-fitted clothing that can be easily adjusted to fit a wide range of body types. The loose pattern provides extra fabric that can be trimmed or altered to achieve the desired fit, while the tight garment serves as a base for the final shape. Looseovertight is particularly popular in the production of lingerie, swimwear, and other intimate apparel, as it allows for a high level of customization and comfort. The technique requires skilled tailoring and pattern-making, as well as an understanding of the specific body measurements and preferences of the wearer.
