What problem did you have with the retreat?
I've been interested in Sure Fit because I have an impossible to fit body. But it is expensive (though possibly cheaper than the amount of time and money I've wasted).
Francesca, I was told that I did not draft, cut or sew well. At one point she said very loudly while working with a short curvy woman, over weight to be sure but her size did not run into the X sizes that someone with a big stomach would never achieve a good fit with a fly front.
She told me my arms were just too big to be properly fit.
I have heavy biceps, but not in the realm of overly large.
I had worked with Glenda online before I got there, she knew my size.
Every night that curvy woman and I had to talk the other into staying the course. She had flown in from Tampa. I had flown in from Canada, after flying from MX to Vancouver to visit friends.
It would have cost either one of us a fortune to try to re- book our flights. For someone who proclaims that she is there to help women fit themselves, her tact is sorely missing.
I Fiercely, strongly suggest that you use Lutterloh and you get in touch with Sonja in NZ she is so wonderful. I took a hands on class with her in Dallas just shortly before the SFD retreat. I had already booked my trip to Oregon. The Dallas thing popped up and my daughter lives there. So it was cheap and easy for me.
I have a PR friend that lives in Norfolk. She uses Lutterloh almost exclusively for her dressmaking business. She has made some lovely things including a wedding gown for a plus sized women.
Send me a PM and I will put you in touch with her.
She and I Skyped so she could advise me on fitting.
