I look AWFUL in those waistlines. No matter where they hit me, I look pregnant :( I am 57 yrs old, I do not want to look pregnant :( I sew for a living, I can adjust patterns but I really don't want to take the time :( I remind my customers about those waistlines. TRY-ON... Don't try to order online because the garment might be a HUGE disappointment and we cannot do much with that existing waistline.

Strictly for attempting to hide those bulges. Not that it does a terrific job, but in some cases it can look nicer.<br /><br /><br />And I'd love to share recipies! I'll also be sure to keep you up-to-date on my possible adventures in the meat-market *LOL*Mugsy's in Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872379684514419344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-57557803522698479682015-02-11T15:26:57.920-05:002015-02-11T15:26:57.920-05:00I have not tried nor purchased Lisette's desig...I have not tried nor purchased Lisette's designs, however, I do agree that her designs are more appealing to specific body types. Being busty and thickish in the waist, I prefer raised waistline styles to simulate a smaller waistline (than I actually have).Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11688809657787883372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-38488014379088099382015-02-11T12:52:26.485-05:002015-02-11T12:52:26.485-05:00Thanks for the post.

Liesl Gibson designs them, and I wondered if she was going for a "mommy and me" vibe (along with Oliver + S). Guessing she got a better licensing deal with McCall's.Su-zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07817519272798857249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-74019779996917404122015-02-11T12:32:56.466-05:002015-02-11T12:32:56.466-05:00My understanding is that Deer & Doe is geared ...My understanding is that Deer & Doe is geared toward a pear-shaped physique, and a C-cup model. It's a French company, so some of their esthetic may also be French or European in concept. I haven't made many of their patterns, but I've been impressed with the ones I have tried.
