Paula Vaz-Carreiro Mar 15, 2007:
I completely agree with what Carmen says above.
Carmen Schultz Mar 15, 2007:
It is important to note that 'ajuste' and 'adjustment' are false friends -- here ajuste definitely refers to fit (the way it fits on the body) and NOT that it needs to be adjusted

fitting and adjustment

The clothes fit her very well, she should buy them.

These pants need adjustments because they are too loose.
