Date: 8/31/12 2:21 PM Hot Patterns is having a 25% off sale. I have a large bust and waist. Has anybody tried their newest patterns? The ones with twisty fronts don't look good on me w/ my larger bust and waist so I am looking for recommendations. I have their sunshine top. I am also thinking of their men's shirt for my husband. Has anybody tried that? |

Date: 8/31/12 4:48 PM There are 208 reviews of Hot Patterns designs here at pr, including one for the men's shirt.
To see the rest of these pattern reviews, on the page where the men's shirt is reviewed, just look up at the red word 'HotPatterns' to the left of '2002,' and click on the 'HotPatterns' part.
You'll find lots of photos and recommendations on going through those reviews. -- Edited on 8/31/12 4:49 PM -- |

Date: 9/1/12 9:03 PM I second the recommendation for the Riviera Cote D' Azur Knit Dress, Tunic & Top.
I made the new twist dress and reviewed it, it needed some modification to work for me. But I do wear it regularly. The twist on that dress (Metropolitan Verano) is at the waist, not at the bust levell (and there was plenty of ease through the bust--I am a C cup and had to remove ease!) -- Edited on 9/1/12 9:07 PM -- ------ Kim

Date: 9/2/12 10:32 PM I caved in and bought the Sunshine pattern also. It is sitting on the bed in the room next to my sewing room and calls to me once in a while. ------ Ada
