I think the difference is that Brenda knows how to make a garment fit properly!

I love it @BrendaP  :D  I am glad I bought the pattern!
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

She knows how to pinch a dart into an existing garment!

Thanks for this, it’s been a bloody awful week and I needed a laugh.

Having said that I quite like Brenda’s offering but she’s very slender and altered the pattern with some much needed darts.

No I'm not!  I'm right on the top of the OK weight band for my height and the excess is all around my tummy.  I'd like to loose about a stone but I'm not motivated enough.

I’m at the top of the “overweight” band for my height (it’s all muscle ....)

whilst my shape would probably take it (flat bottom and no hips) it would be a mutton / lamb situation.
it looked good on some not on others. I particularly thought the white one near the bottom had the seams in the wrong place for the 'model' it looked too small for her as a result

But the main reason I couldn't wear it because I'd have to go around with my hand on my hip it seems which is not a good look for me  ;)

Pretty good on the young teen too UR.



I like the idea of it but not the application, placement is essential, even on one the slimmest of models it looks like there's a shelf sticking out at the top.
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

Yours looks good Brenda, not impressed with some of the others. It’s finding the happy combination of fabric, fit and figure.
