Every sewer has a go-to outfit in the closet that fits beautifully and always looks great. When your favorite garment shows too much wear, don't send it to the thrift store. Turn it into a perfectly fitting pattern. I have a smart method for accurately copying a garment. This minimizes the need to alter patterns to achieve an ideal fit. The sample I'm using is a vintage dress, but the process can be used for almost any garment. It is a fabulous way to re-create favorite pants that are almost threadbare. You don't need special talents. Just take good photographs, make thorough marks, and record careful notes before deconstructing the cherished garment to make a pattern. Follow my method, and you'll have a new favorite pattern and the directions to sew it together.
