"If you are sewing plus-size or mid-size garments, I cannot emphasize enough that you should GET THIS set of pattern blocks. This designer seriously DID THEIR RESEARCH when creating these, and I cannot sing their praises enough.
Most commercial patterns simply scale up sizing for larger sizes, and don’t account for the ways larger bodies and smaller bodies are different — especially in the BUST.
I made my best friend’s wedding dress recently, and I was totally humbled by my shortcomings in patterning and fitting when it came to someone with a different body type than mine (my friend is more mid-size, with a large bust). I was so relieved when I tried these slopers and finally found a well-fitting starting point!
These slopers are EXPERTLY designed, and were a great starting point to make her dream dress!"
