"Hi as a larger busted lady who does not like to show off her bust I think it would have to be A-Line Dresses or Fit and Flare Dresses. It would be great to have some patterns for larger sized ladies as we do like to look nice also. This was a very handy post Thank - You"

All the material you need to buy to make it, it would be cheaper to just buy one.
