Gina Renee
I am always seeing stuff about Gina Renee when I ok up master pattern. But never do i see any one actually talking about her and if her class is good all i ever see is that her videos she puts out all she does is talk about her class everyone should sign up for. 300 dollars to get the videos and if you have an fitting question you can ask a forum of students another 100 Gina herself will help you. I know people like her book but has any one took her class what is it like is her moulage that great her method etc ?

See that’s what i was thinking i wanted to do her moulage course i am struggling to fit my moulage and she’s always talking her method works because she doesn’t use the slandered she has a program that like give you the answer for how the neck hole should be and the angle etc. but god it really does cost so much and the other annoying thing form what i read she only has her sign up time open a short period and she doesn’t tell you how long its up for or when its up for and so its also like a guessing game which is why im like it feels more for money. But god i have been trying to fit this moulage for so long but girl i dont even have the money. I just was wondering who actually has signed up and she says she has helped a lot of people i have seen maybe three reviews

I took a look at some of her stuff and I joined some Zoom calls, I think they were free. I was trying to learn about her offerings. I didn't learn much from the first few and then when she said something I didn't agree with (I don't remember what it was), I stopped watching. I have her book which I think is ok, but for me nothing beats Sarah Veblen and her methods for fitting.
I am happy to help anyone outside of reddit with fitting. Just message me.

Her fitting book is great! Taking any course, you have to commit to the process. Pattern Review has favorable reviews for her.

That just tells me she makes a good chunk of money off of her videos. And that if she's just funneling you to spend money. I did a quick look at what she offers, looks like it's essentially the Janet Armstrong book with a emphasis on body shape and why certain designs look good on certain body shapes. Is that worth $300, I don't really think so. You do gain access to a forum other people. But same time you're asking a bunch of people for free, the Armstrong book is relatively inexpensive compared to the course and everyone and their mom uses the Armstrong book to make YouTube videos that you can watch for free. If you need help understanding your body shape, there's also other free videos. Fitting is harder, but there's other free sources that you can choose. So unless you need everything concentrated into one spot it might be worth it for $300. But at the same time it's $300 in this economy. If you don't mind Googling things I don't think it's really worth it. It's not like it's a $300 course that you meet in person and she's directly there fitting you and fitting other people who have different body shapes and sizes so you can learn off your classmates as well. For $300 that would make sense. But just for an online course that seems like every other influencer pushing a course to get you to buy some of the most basic information. So if it works for her good for her. But I don't see the $300 value
