I had to round out the shoulder seam so it would lie flat. I made a medium and tapered to an extra large at the bottom. It is too much fabric so I am going to take some of it out. it is too bulky with the lining for that much room. I wore a belt with it and I think it looks pretty good. Dont' give up on it because you are a pear. make a belt with it and maybe you can salvage it. 5/14/09 12:33 PM
