Description
Pattern companies use a “standard” set of measurements for each pattern they make. As a result there is very little to choose from for plus size or petite children. In order for the growing plus size or odd size child to have an opportunity to dress in the current fashions, alterations to the store bought pattern are a necessity. The problem I’ve heard over and over again is “where do I start when trying to alter commercial “store bought” patterns?” “I thought my plus size child just had an extra large tummy, so when I tried to alter the pattern for that, I found that the shoulders were way too big, the sleeves too long, and the neck too big. HELP!!” Regardless of what size pattern you buy for the plus size or petite child, there may be one, two, or multiple changes that must be made. In order to get a good fit, it is necessary to adjust the pattern dimensions to your child’s figure dimensions.
