I love this blouse and have made it with and without sleeves. My go to pattern for pants is Silhouette #3200. I have used it to fit a number of plus size women and it has not failed me yet. ------ Ada

I'm dying to make it! ------ Mary http://checkmatesystem.com

Simple lines with gentle shaping. I haven't tried silhouette yet but am very tempted. Petite Plus is designed for full bust, D cup, rounded belly, narrow shoulders. I'm not petite or narrow shouldered but I think it would be easier to alter those patterns to fit me than most.

I've got my eye on a few of her designs. The sunshine top is one of them. Fabric.com sometimes has 50% off sales on hot patterns. One day I will try them.

Date: 8/8/12 9:23 AM You can look up reviews from Marie-Claude, Debbie Cook and michellep74. They've sewn a number of HPs with great results. Basically, everyone who has made the Tie Me Down top has had an awesome result. Also, the Cote d'Azur top/dress has been very popular, and the Uptown/Downtown dress. The U/D dress has also been successful with basically everyone who has made it. Gemaki, Michelle L, and Reesie (among others) are 3 who've made some really lovely versions.
