is it feasible to do "fittings" of thusly-knitted garment before
completion?

Any thing can be knit to fit
First you have to have a guague
take your wanted wool , cast on 20 stitches knit 6 rows in jerssey =
knit to end turn work purl to end
now if you have a pattern in mind , make one repeat of the pattern or
at least 6 rows of it

if you feel that knit and or purl are too tight or too loose try it
with a dufferent size of needle , work should be soft to touch not to
stiff nore too loose.

now take the knitted piece off the needle andmeasure it while it is
loose but not too loose = put on measure tape straighten with a
finger , so that there is no rolled end , measure and write 20 st in
jesey = X inches or Cm

now draw your wanted clothing item measure the intended wearer ,
and you can translate each meaurement to number of stitches ,,

curves etc you can calculate how much to add or distract over what
length ...

if you never did it maybe you should find a good book or a UTUBE that
shows you how ..
