No, my dear, you are not fat. It's just that the dress form you bought was created somewhere in Asia---the land of tiny women! You gotta remember that those gals are seldom over 5 feet tall and they usually run about western size 0-4. You and I both were bigger than that by the time we were ten years old.

"No one’s watching the people in charge of patterns, are they?"
No, they're not. The patterns being offered for sale these days are poorly designed when you compare them to the patterns from the same companies 20-30 years ago.
Thank Heaven I'm a pack rat who doesn't let go of stuff! I've warned my Hubby that if anything ever happens to me, that he needs to sell my pattern collection rather than simply throw it away---it's worth a lot of money considering the prices the older patterns are commanding these days.

I agree the fabric available for sale in the stores these days is pitiful. If you do manage to find real linen, silk, or wool fabric be prepared to pay an obscene amount for it and it will be from someone online

Are you having to make a bit of extra room for the muscles you've put on through your body building or does the pattern really need that much help in order to fit youn properly?
