Hey Opal.mn! I was just thinking it would be great to see the dress of your profile picture in more detail! Is that possible?

Hi Opal.mn! Thanks for the tip about the petite plus patterns, I went and checked them out, I am just ONE size too small for their range, GAH! I am pretty much short through my whole body, so proportionally I’m balanced vertically, in that I have short legs AND short torso, but I’m average sized in the horizontal direction!!! So ‘normal’ patterns do fit me, I’m just forever doing the cut-and-shorten, which is okay with simple pants and tops, but as soon as you start to want to do things with more complicated piecing and darts, it can get really tricky to make the necessary adjustments without messing up the design-lines and measurements completely!!!
