Question
donnalynn2
I know, sounds weird, right?
So here's the story... I bought this really neat tank top made of like a lycra material, it's really nice but very very very form fitting. It's got some sequins on it and a really neat design and let's just say that is accentuates my chest area which I don't normally do. The problem is that is also really shows off the spare tire in my stomach! My DH has been begging me to wear it,
but....... I won't wear it till I find something that will help me to wear it... I found something kind of "close" to what I want but it's not exactly it.
THIS pattern is very close to what I want but I really want something a litte bit more flattering for the full figured woman. This doesn't need to be a free pattern, I really don't mind paying if it's what I'm looking for. I'd prefer something that doesn't require lace weight or thread so sport weight or above.
It doesn't have to be a wrap persay. It could be a vest or a cardigan or anything really. Just so long as It can cover what I need it to cover yet it will pretty much wrap around the "outside" of my chest area, if that makes sense. I can always close it with a pin while wearing it as a closure or put in a button and I don't really care about sleeves as I'll probably either make it sleeveless or short sleeved as down here in Florida I don't need warm stuff too terribly often. So it's just the basic "front" idea that I need to find...
Anyone with any ideas???? Thanks in advance! I've been looking for about 2 months now and the pattern above is the closest I've come. I know there are zillions of independant pattern sites out there that either aren't listed or that I may personally not know about so maybe you've got them in your favorites and maybe saw something somewhere that I haven't. I doubt it'll be on CPC as I have scoured it top to bottom. Like I said, more than likely it'll be something I'll have to pay for. If it is free, that's all the better but I think I've searched all the free to no avail... Thanks again for your help!
