Curves and an asymmetric "look" play a trick on the eye, visually reducing your size and enhancing your shape. Create a bias trimmed, lined or reversible version. Try it in shiny silk charmeuse for evening, in a knit for casual daytime chic, on top of a shirt for a more classic look, or alone for a bit of sexiness.

Suggested fabrics are light- to medium-weight wovens (wool, silk, linen, etc) or knits with 25% or less stretch. Fabric requirements do not allow for matching stripes or plaids, or shrinkage.

Petite Plus Patterns are designed for the full-figured petite woman, with narrow shoulders, a full bust, a short waist length, and a rounded tummy. The patterns generally include sizes 14-24, and the sizing chart can be seen here. Shirt and jacket patterns include the Perfect Fit Guide (tm), which provides "Extra fitting help for a perfect custom fit." The patterns are designed for a D cup bust, but the Perfect Fit Guide (tm) includes directions for easy alterations.
