RetroPinup: You can make it bigger. In some of the older Burda pattern magazines(the European mags), there are very good visual instructions for increasing or decreasing the sizing of patterns so that they fit you.
Its easier to size up than it is to size down. I am five’3", so I know all about this.
Also take a look at the book called Fitting Finesse, by Nancy Zieman. Well worth getting for adjusting your patterns to perfect your fit.

Hi! I agree with you about the sizing of the Paola dress…I hadn’t even realized it went to just below my size. I don’t consider a 42 in the larger size range, so I was surprised to realize it only went to 40! Thanks for pointing that out, RB
