Beverly,
Hello! Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Follow up is not
one of my strong suits, but here I am. I want to make professional
business clothes for myself. Though I don't know how to enlarge a
pattern or even how to pick out the appropriate patterns for what I
want to make.
My measurements don't fit the usual for women, so I have to modify
patterns or make my own.
Bust: 52 1/2"
Waist: 48"
Hips: 58"
Those are the most recent measurements I have. I would appreciate any
suggestions, especially since I want to make my clothes by hand. I
don't like mending, which is why I haven't been sewing for a long
time.
