What does Fit Model mean?

Fit Model refers to a model employed by fashion designers or clothing manufacturers to try on garments during the design process, ensuring that the clothing fits and looks as intended. Fit models represent the ideal body size and shape for a specific clothing line, and their feedback is used to make adjustments to patterns and sizing before mass production. Unlike runway or print models, fit models are typically hired for their specific measurements rather than their looks.

Example:A fit model works with a fashion designer to test the fit of a new collection, helping to ensure that the clothes will fit the average customer size.
Example: A clothing brand hires a fit model to provide feedback on how their garments feel and fit, making necessary adjustments before the designs go into production.
