I'm going to step in and explain what a fit model is and does
Each manufacturer chooses a fit model that best represents the ideal body type for their line. Ever just LOVE all the clothes from a certain manufacturer becasue they fit you just right? That will be because their fit model is similar to your body type. For example, DKNY will use a different fit model type than Patagonia.
A fit model will be somewhat 'average'; in the non plus size range she is usually a 10-12, and the patterns are graded up or down from this average person. (grading is the process of growing a pattern into the various sizes in a range of offerings) A fit model is usually average and well proportioned for her body type and size, but not a "model' by any stretch of the imagination for how we are used to thinking of that term.

Fit Model - this is what I've been doing for Voler so they can develop their women's "club cut." Those of you who've seen me would agree it isn't a Twiggy-thin body.
