For me, the end result was a bit of an anticlimax (looked like a bin-liner left too close to the radiator), but what do I know. Anyway, an interesting glimpse into the future of fitting and design. At the very least, the industry will minimise waste:

Dear fellow tailor,
Mowgli and I must raise £100,000 by 1 October 2025 to start our "Alterations Video Library" project. We need your support today.
This FREE library will have 200+ videos of individual alterations, indexed by seam. Each video shows a fitting problem, followed by the pattern corrections and final results with side-by-side comparisons.
You will learn to fit in minutes, not days. This will be the most important tailoring project of the century. And you can be part of it by funding it today.
If you ever wanted to change the world, now is your chance. Please join us in making a giant leap in the history of tailoring education.
Thank you,
Reza, Founder of International School of Tailoring
Watch this snippet from Lesson 34. The videos in The Alteration Library will be an enhanced version of this presentation style. This library will make fittings as easy as finding directions with GPS.

Interesting video, though I was expecting to see some kind of integration of 3D scanning, digital modeling, CAD pattern making, and digital simulation of the final bespoke garment.
Years ago I tried to learn Blender, a 3D design and rendering program that does some amazing things. I mention this because I can see how, in the future, a customer might walk into a bespoke tailor shop, and the tailor could use computerized measurements and patterns to reach the fitting stage sooner.
A customer could be 3D scanned in spandex, the exact digital model would be built, a digital pattern could be applied and adjusted as needed, and both the digitized customer and the garment could come together to see where further modifications could or might need to be made. This might sound crazy, bu it is possible to simulate the drape of a garment on a solid model and even see how the fabric reacts as the model moves.
There are lots of Blender tutorials on YouTube if you want to chec it out. This link will take you to a short video where a piece of fabric is draped over a metal sphere.

You have an excellent sense of humor.
And this video is very informative. Thank you. I enjoyed it.
