Now We Play Devil's Advocate.

Despite recent criticism, I do find BurdaStyle useful at times -- they just don't understand the the plus sized market. However, I recently made an Anda tunic, and I was very pleased with it...


I made only minor changes to the pattern (too few to enter the Anda contest): I shortened it to tunic length, graded the lower part, and put the casing on the inside with elastic instead of a tie. But it's very comfortable in light cotton, which is nice in the searing heat of summer. It is a bit busy, but that's my own fault -- I picked that fabric on my own, after all. It was incredibly easy to sew, and I'm thinking of making a full-length version.

So...I'm not a full-time hater. (In case you were wondering.)

BurdaStyle posted another plus sized pattern this week: Elastic waist jeans.

Do you think they can hear me retching all the way in New York? I hope they can.

I give the f*ck up...
