I saw this on a Facebook post and it made me giggle.  ;)

Would they get away with saying this nowadays?  :devil:

Oh my! I don’t think they would get away with that these days but it did make me laugh  0_0

I would love to see patterns saying ‘adaptable for chubbies’ I would buy them  0_0 at least they promise the instructions on how to adapt it it would save a lot of figuring it out

This is a child's pattern, isn't it? I seem to have vague memory of patterns for 'chubbies'. Not a word I like. Awful.for a kid to be officially labelled chubby.

Of coirse, not long ago plus sizes were called outsizes, as in Evans Outsizes which becsme just plain Evans.
