It runs large and others came up with ways to get closure underneath than using ribbon ties.

The reviews on PR have not been all that favorable. Most found ways to make it work. <br /><br />I like to think I am older and wiser now and it is okay to call it quits. Because I am older now, I decided life is too short to mess with a pattern that is just so-so.LOL!Linda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655695696943452993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18711912.post-9937414229284328272013-05-26T08:05:45.960-04:002013-05-26T08:05:45.960-04:00Even the sleeves on this one were not fitting well...Even the sleeves on this one were not fitting well and the shoulder was so wide.Linda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655695696943452993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18711912.post-83494368096683621362013-05-26T08:04:35.920-04:002013-05-26T08:04:35.920-04:00Yes, it is.

Tossed wadders, yes, because of displeasure with the fit, but not because you knew you'd not like wearing the final garment and didn't want to push through to the end. This pattern must be One Hot Mess!.
