You may think I’ve been reading too many books to my grandkids if I tell you that I wanted to title this post, “The Romper and the Giant Pear.” I’ve been pear-shaped my entire life. Mostly, I don’t mind, but when I saw this pattern, my first thought was how will my 47” hips fit through that neckline? Actually, that was my second thought. My first thought was how adorable it is.

I was fortunate enough to test this pattern for Love Notions. I can assure you that my hips did indeed fit through that neckline. I am in love with this pattern! I can’t think of anyone it wouldn’t flatter.

Ok, back to the pear thing… I did have concerns of my neckline stretching out of shape after repeated trips to the restroom. I fixed this problem by using my favorite sewing notion— clear elastic. Watch my video for a tutorial on how to make that neckline more sturdy…
