Sherril Miller said... Anne, thank you for the review of this well-needed pattern line. What tops are you making or buying to go with these skirts? - Sherril 4/10/03 3:29 AM
AnneM said... Sherril, you have probably already seen my review of Simpliicty 7168. I was also thinking of CJ's wrap top to go with the fake wrap skirt. I have not tried that yet, though. 4/10/03 7:20 AM
Lisa Laree said... How did I miss this review the first time? My DM, also a petite plus, also lives in another state and has virtually given up sewing due to fitting (and time) issues. I talked her into getting a few patterns from this line, including this one, but she hasn't made them yet. I'm thinking I'll just have to get them from her and make it myself! ;) Did you just use your mom's measurements as your fitting guide? 11/9/03 8:56 PM
AnneM said... Lisa - yes, I measured Mom when we had a visit, and used that to pick a size. The pattern is pretty basic, and the skirt is a bit long despite being petite (but that is exactly what DM wanted). 11/10/03 4:28 AM
