Ah Ramona... can you tell us what the name of that book is? I would love to find a copy for myself. I'm only 46 and new to sewing/quilting, so if someone such as yourself tells me about a REALLY good thing... I want it! Please tell us... thank you![/quote]

It's called FANTASTIC FIT FOR EVERY BODY, by Gail Hazen. How to alter patterns to flatter any figure. And the author shows her own body in a bathing suit kind of underwear so as to show that ANYONE can make clothes that fit and flatter. She is proud of herself, though she must have passed the 200 number some years before. She goes into fitting a pattern to YOUR body and how to measure it and what kind of pattern to get, how to alter it and what kind of fabric to choose and what neckline, etc.
Marvelous book. I forgot where I got it, had put it away for later but when I started reading it I realized what a prize I'd gotten. I think I got it in an estate sale.
