Today I once again forgot that the fashion industry considers anything over size 44 "plus size" and bought a sewing pattern that does not include my size. :) Thank fuck I'm getting good enough at sewing and altering patterns that I will probably make it work anyway but still. Fuck this. I get not being physically able to include 10+ sizes in one single pattern (althoughhhh if you add more pattern sheets it's possible) but you could at least offer two size ranges for one pattern. It's possible to adjust patterns for larger bodies instead of giving me a "plus size" pattern range that is just entirely different patterns and has way less choices.

Ffs. Get your fucking shit together Burda.

#my actual life #tbf i've seen patterns by american companies that do this #but they are not widely available in shops here in germany #and sometimes i just wanna go to the shop and grab something immediately instead of waiting 2-3 business weeks for a pattern #to ship from overseas #AND THIS FUCKING PATTERN DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE FINISHED GARMENT MEASUREMENTS SO I HAVE TO SOMEHOW MEASURE MYSELF #TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH I HAVE TO ALTER THIS #i am very happy about this as you can see :) :) :) :)#fashion is great. sewing is so inclusive. i will fight someone
