Apply to Be A Cashmerette Fit Model!


We’re looking for new fit models! If you’re a size 8 or a size 18 and live in the Boston area, apply by Monday, November 2, 2020.

Fit models are crucial to the pattern development process: they try on draft samples early on in the process to help us identify adjustments that need to be made before the pattern goes to testing. We try our samples on our mannequin as well, but trying them on a real human who can move around and sit down (and complain about tightness!) is even more helpful.

We’re looking for two fit models for our two size ranges, one who is a size 18 and the other who is a size 8.

The size 18 model must:

  • Be 5′ 5″ – 5’7″ tall
  • Have a high bust measurement of 43″
  • Have a full bust measurement of 47″-48″
  • Have a waist measurement of 38″
  • Have a hip measurement of 48″
  • Be able to come to our studio in the South End of Boston on occasion, ideally during the workday

The size 8 model must:

  • Be 5′ 5″ – 5’7″ tall
  • Have a high bust measurement of 34″
  • Have a full bust measurement of 38″-39″
  • Have a waist measurement of 29″
  • Have a hip measurement of 39″
  • Be able to come to our studio in the South End of Boston on occasion, ideally during the workday

(Not sure how to take your measurements? See our guide here.)

Fit models receive financial compensation for each fitting session, and no sewing knowledge or experience is required! No modeling experience is necessary either: all you need to know is how to put on and wear clothes.

If that sounds like you, send us your measurements and a photo of yourself to hello@cashmerette.com by Monday, November 2, 2020.

We use safety precautions during all of our fitting sessions, including sanitizing the studio prior to the model’s arrival, limiting the number of people in the studio, and having both the model and our team member wear face coverings at all times. Read our full COVID-19 safety plan here.
