I found this pattern thrift shopping with Eden the other day- isn't it adorable? It would just look amazing on Eden in a red velour for christmas. Look at the dress on the left, in blue. How cute in red with a white collar edged in lace?
(I haven't even made our Halloween costumes yet and I am already planning her christmas dress!)
I put the pattern in the sewing room when we got home and went about my day. Later I looked closer at the pattern, checking for pattern pieces and I noticed something funny.
Do you see it?
Look in the upper left corner.
Here I will enlarge it for you.
Suitable for Chubbies!
Uhm... What? Chubbies?
Inside the pattern are instructions on Fitting Chubby Girls. Seriously.
At first I was incredulous that that was even printed on there. But some girls are bigger than others. Everything is so PC these days, it seems so insulting to call someone a chubbie, even indirectly on a pattern envelope. Then I got to thinking. If patterns would just print that kind of information on each pattern smack dab on the front and not worry about offending anyone , it would make things easier. Honest and up front. No sugar coating.
Here are some I would like to see:
Hides a Muffin Top
Suitable for Fat Bottomed Girls
Not suitable over 40. No exceptions.
Only Suitable for Bulimic Models
Suitable for Boob Jobs
Suitable for Shorties
or more PC
Suitable for the Vertically Challenged
Can you think of any more??
Send them to me and I will add them!
:)
