That being said, why do they have to style their photos so that you have absolutely no idea what the garments look like? I couldn't tell you if I like this one or not. All I see is the fabric, not the dress. ------ Visit my blog at http://sewingsaga.blogspot.com If it's worth sewing, it's worth sewing well; and if it's worth sewing well, it's worth FITTING FIRST! - TSL

But there are a few pieces that look good. ------ Marilyn January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in.

Now I know why they placed the model like they did. I don't that this dress would look good on anybody. ------ Visit my blog at http://sewingsaga.blogspot.com If it's worth sewing, it's worth sewing well; and if it's worth sewing well, it's worth FITTING FIRST! - TSL

I'm looking at it wondering how on earth you'd do a bca on this. I know Burda plus has the bca built in, which is good, but still some folks need more. ------ Bernina 730E, 350PE Babylock Audrey Singer 201, 221FW Viking 6570 When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.

There is a jacket and pants that I like. I'm not at all sure about the bag dress or the asymmetrical top. ------ Marilyn January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in.

I was thinking of re-subbing to the Plus magazine only, but will wait to see the next issue. I just don't think I'd make anything in this one. Not that it's all bad, they just don't have anything in there that I don't already have something similar. ------ --Robyn sewing blog: http://bluemooney.wordpress.com/ illustration blog: http://storybooky.wordpress.com/

The colors are good, but I really cannot see how most of these would flatter any but the most well-proportioned of plus-sized women.
