I have made it twice Florabell.
The only concern I would have is the bulk of the seams. If you use a fine fabric and grade the seam properly if would be fine. As the bodice is fully lined, I don’t know that you would actually need to.
We have a few girls that love their French seam finishes. I am sure they would have something helpful to add.

I made a suede version for Tildy and used brass drizabone studs.

Oh yes, we’d love to add plus sizes to our patterns! It’s one of my goals for 2014. Unfortunately, it’s not a simple process and requires development of entirely new patterns, along with separate grading, testing, etc. We can’t simply grade the existing patterns up to make more sizes–it’s really like starting from scratch.

Does that help?

You are so right. I figured it was me as I am a computer moron.
