Join curvy fitting expert Jenny Rushmore to learn how to make and use the well-fitting sloper of your dreams in Cashmerette Sloper School, an online fitting course you can take at your own pace.
Sloper School opens for enrollment during limited timeframes during the year. Once you join, you can take the course at your own pace, and you have lifetime access to all the materials. You’ll learn through a mixture of recorded video lessons, written tutorials, and personal feedback from the Cashmerette team.
Once you have a beautifully fitting sloper, Jenny will teach you to use it to fit new patterns, and even create your own well-fitting designs.
Start with a sloper pattern: You'll receive a free pattern when you enroll: the Wyman Dress Sloper, a fitting sloper PDF pattern in sizes 0-32 and cup sizes C-H that we've designed specifically to be used as as the starting point for your custom-fit sloper. You don't need to learn how to pattern draft from scratch!
Create a custom fit: Get instant access to detailed video lessons, where Jenny shows you how to fit every part of the sloper to your body, from shoulder to hem. Jenny share advanced fitting techniques (beyond the standard adjustments), demonstrating on real models (not mannequins!) so that you can see how it actually looks in practice.
Learn to use your sloper: Once your sloper fits you well, Jenny takes you through exactly how to use your sloper to save you time in the future, and unleash your creativity. She covers both how to use your sloper to assess a new pattern, and how to hack your sloper to create infinite designs that you can guarantee will fit.
Get personal feedback: Throughout the course, you can get personal fit feedback from Jenny and the Cashmerette team, so you don’t need to go it alone!
Chart your progress: A series of Sloper School-exclusive workbooks will guide you through the process, letting you track your fitting journey and capture everything you’ve learned. The downloadable, printable workbooks cover the initial measuring and sizing steps to get you in a fantastic first muslin, and then comprehensive fitting checklists for each body area, and finally detailed instructions on how to use your sloper.
- How to take the key measurements that matter
- How to select the right size and grade between sizes
- How to diagnose complex fitting issues
- How to adjust and refine your sloper until it fits beautifully
- How to use your sloper to assess new patterns and fit them without endless muslins
- How to hack your sloper to create infinite new garment variations
The course includes:

- Recorded videos that take you through all the steps of sewing and fitting your sloper, including fitting demonstrations on a variety of models
- In-depth personal fit feedback from Jenny and the Cashmerette team
- Downloadable workbooks for every stage of the process

Sloper School is a totally different approach to fitting. In Sloper School, Jenny focuses on one fitted, woven dress and work through all the relevant fitting issues, before then teaching you how to use your sloper to adjust new patterns quickly and easily, and hack it into other designs. It’s an intensive, deep-dive into a specific fitting approach. Sloper School includes lots of demos on models with different body shapes, and unique workbooks that you’ll progress through.
Fitting University is a online fitting course that covers all types of garments, which you can dip into any time that you need. Unlike Sloper School which you work through from beginning to end, Fitting University is more like a fitting reference library that you can refer to as you’re sewing any garment.

“Today I slipped on the first thing that I have ever worn that truly fit me. Not hid me, but fit me. I couldn’t have done it without all of you and the hand-holding from the Cashmerette team. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

As a sewist with a belly I struggled with fitting until I took sloper school. It changed my sewing forever and prepared me to understand Susan Khaljes masterclass on the Elmwood skirt. Now the clothes I make fit and flatter with professional finish!
As a curvy woman, I've found it impossible to find styles of clothes I liked in the size I need. Completing the Wyman Sloper has taught me to understand my body shape and reflect the extra length of my torso. It's boosted my self confidence and helping me find my true style.
At 5 feet 1 inch and a short waist, I routinely shortend the waist to hip line of any skirt or pants pattern according to my measurements. I made the sloper and discovered that is not correct, I actually need to add a bit of length. I haven't figured out how that all works out yet but I got a great fit from the sloper! I also confirmed that my upper body (shoulders and neck) are a great fit from a size 10, no changes needed.
As a trained dressmaker I could sew anything but fitting was all guesswork and not always successful. I have narrow shoulders and upper bust, large boobs, wide back, short arms and short legs, plus I am pear shaped. With the help of Sloper School and the Fitting University I made the Wyman Dress Sloper which I use to guarantee a perfect fit every time by using my own fitting information and Jenny's clear instructions to adjust patterns and also create my own patterns. My clothes now fit my unique body at last.
As a mostly self-taught sewist with proportions outside the "norm" (E cup bust, long torso/short legs, and a bit of a belly, to name just of few of my quirks), I have long struggled with sewing things that fit me properly. Using ready-made patterns was almost as bad as buying a garment from a store. I didn't know what was wrong or how to fix it. After going through the sloper school, I found I finally understood where my measurements were different, and how to change them, whether on store-bought or self-drafted patterns. Jenny's instructions were clear, concise, and easy to follow along with. My me-mades have never fit better!
The best combination to learn how to sew well fitted clothes is to combine Cashmerette's Club Access with their incredibly well-designed curvy patterns. I struggled with getting a basic well-fitted top before I took the Wyman Sloper School (free for Club members). The learning is carefully spoon-fed to you through the online videos, the community forum, and the actual sewing. The best part is being taught how to evaluate your changes in your muslins. The well-thought out steps even got me to have sleeves that aren't covered in draglines! After all this learning, I was able to sew a perfectly fit Vernon shirt (collar, sleeves and all!).
