I see several Plus Size patterns but more basics than anything to turn your head. ------ Fashion Maté, where I blog about what I (eventually) sew : http://fashionmate.blogspot.com Addicted to Pinterest?

And what's with the ruffles? Are those really "in" again? I'm too old for ruffles I guess if I had to choose, 5706 would be the one. It's classic, basic, not an empire style and it offers sleeve length variations

Sewliz   CO USA Member since 6/22/04 Posts: 4115	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 11/11/11 12:45 PM 5712 is an interesting jacket. Why Butterick needs to sew it up in such an unflattering difficult fabric I can't imagine. It looks horrible on the model and the photoshop color change (yes, it's the same jacket, look at the bow, identical) is creepy. The line drawings are more appealing. Look at the side panel that goes from waist to wrist, I like that. And pockets in the seams on view A and B. It's a plain and boxy style jacket that could be really cute in the right fabric. A boucle sweater knit, a textured silk, even polar fleece. Anything interesting, just not that thin sateen Butterick used. ------ Liz thefittinglife.blogspot.com

Hell hath no fury for the poor soul that sews an ill-fitting garment! Thank God for Surefitdesigns.com!
