Both the sleeveless top and cardigan, duster or bolero style jacket are designed to flatter a woman with real curves. This pattern has been designed with most common fit alterations built right in - high round back, forward shoulder, full bust, extra hip/tummy room, and a great fit in the neck and shoulder. The sleeveless top covers that extra skin in the armhole area, and all pieces feature an "essence of waist". Choose the classic cardigan jacket, trendy duster length or show some style with the modestly designed bolero.
