Lutterloh patterns have a mark to denote center front with a "VM" even One omission in this pattern that is worth mentioning. If you'd like further information on using the Full Figure patterns for an average sized body then check out the link near the bottom of the right side bar titled " Using full figure patterns for smaller sizes " My measurements don't actually reach the Full Figure range but by moving the pin in the scale down by 4 dots I can still draw out a pattern that works just great. You may notice that the pattern I used is for the Full Figure size range. Since I like to wear short dresses over leggings I need to build pockets into the dresses. One of the features of these dresses is that they almost all have pockets. Around Christmas time I ran across a website for some nice knit dresses called Karina dresses (no affiliation) that I felt I just had to replicate. I've been sewing up some short dresses in preparation for Spring in California. I find that the pockets on most recent Lutterloh patterns are just too shallow to be useful for me. Next was to elongate the front pocket bags. First I left off the belt loops because I knew I wouldn't wear a belt with these. I made just a couple of changes to suit my preferences. This pattern is really a good basic pattern for straight leg shorts. I used 1/4 inch twill tape in the seam where the waist joins the yoke as a precaution. See how the grainline arrow is at a 45 degree angle to the center back? This makes the waistband easier to curve but can also leave you with a stretched out waistband without some stabilization at the seam. There is no way you'll get a "V" shaped yoke out of this pattern piece.Īnother point to note about the pattern is that the shaped waistband is supposed to be cut on the bias. I did find that the pattern, once enlarged, is indeed shaped like the pattern drawing not the fashion drawing. In the fashion drawing the yoke is taller at the center and narrower at the side seams, the actual pattern is the opposite.

Above is the fashion drawing for the back next to the actual back pattern.
