Just about everything in stores doesn't fit good. If it fits my booty and thighs, it gapes in the waist. Something that is my waist size is too small for my legs and booty. <br /><br />detroitgirl77 AT gmail DOT comMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000625425567012277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4374429434678247364.post-65198368331924595502014-05-16T11:02:49.402-07:002014-05-16T11:02:49.402-07:00I haven't made clothing yet (I'm a quilter...I haven't made clothing yet (I'm a quilter), although it is high on my list of things I would like to learn!

I also have uneven hips and shoulders (I supposedly have a little scoliosis), which means that nothing sits right (i.e. skirts hang unevenly). (I also have tiny hands; don't get me started on how the only glove and mitten patterns (knitting) that I can find in my size are children's patterns!)<br /><br />I hadn't realized how long that list was until I wrote it out! I don't think I ever have clothes that really fit me and I guess I'm kind of used to it. <br /><br />jhunsberger (at) gmail (dot) comJess Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501026870843938879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4374429434678247364.post-90952367511866989122014-05-15T16:51:48.350-07:002014-05-15T16:51:48.350-07:00Making a form is a great idea!
