I think you could wear that mining dress. They wouldn't make the pattern up to size 28 if it wouldn't flatter the larger sizes. Mimi wears her clothing way too tight so her being pictured is not such a great indication of how the pattern will work on someone else. In a black and navy combo it would be chic as heck and you could dress it up or down.corkpophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092395762566547867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-49787498871953534312016-09-24T03:36:48.779-04:002016-09-24T03:36:48.779-04:00I'm so excited to try out some fabrics from St...I'm so excited to try out some fabrics from Style Maker Fabrics.

We plan all our trends and categories based on what we are seeing in fashion and what our customers have liked in the past. It is really a gut instinct thing that takes a lot of work but I love it and hope all our customers do too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918554650007448290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-47720850918489787902016-09-19T14:33:24.848-04:002016-09-19T14:33:24.848-04:00I am new to SMF.

In my day job, I work on 'User Experience' as it pertains to the software we support. It's all about learning what consumers want and adapting the sales model to meet those desires. I do wonder if StyleMaker Fabrics has used this method to design their website. There are other fabric sellers I don't visit often because I simply don't have the patience or the focus to sort through their offerings.<br />Yet, this is what we all want - current styles. So often I settle for solid colored fabric because it is good enough, when I really want something a bit more on-trend.<br />The other factor is quality. There have been other sellers with cute fabric (I won't mention names!!) that turned out to be poor quality. They must have come from jobbers who get fabrics from the Fast Fashion manufacturers. You invest all that time to sew something and it barely lasts one season. That is unacceptable! I'll be shopping at StyleMaker Fabrics! Also thanks to Lori for staying on the leading edge of this and sharing her results!!a little sewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086285440873869055noreply@blogger.com
