Creating a mirrored Platitude is the best way to see a complete new seam or detail that spans the whole body when developing a unique shape or design. Views in the top row of photographs show a single Platitude, while the two views at the bottom show a mirrored Platitude encircling the body.

Charles James devised Platitudes, which are flat pattern pieces or part of a pattern piece, to find lines on the body that can become seam lines in a garment. A Platitude works like a ruler for the body. It helps create a shaped seam or design line that circulates smoothly around the body and, in many aspects, avoids rightangled seaming. The Platitude could be a shoulder strap, a contoured belt, or any section of a pattern which has a smooth curvilinear shape.
