The Ladies Avenue is designed to flatter your curves and comes in sizes xxs-4xl. It features a regular back and a scooped back with optional bands. There are three sleeve lengths and four hem lengths, as well as options for a single slit or double slit. It has trimless pages and the option to print in layers.
My measurements put me in a medium for upper bust and hips and a m/l for waist. I initially sewed a medium in scuba and didn't feel comfortable in it so I passed it on to a friend (unfinished since she knows how to sew haha). I sized up to a large with the scuba, graded to a m in the hips and it was much better. I had a serious challenge hemming it because it didn't like my ball point or stretch or universal needle or regular foot or walking foot or regular thread or eloflex thread (that I fortunately found at my local hobby lobby since an employee told me they didn't carry it). I ended up gluing (!!!) the hems and so far it's worked great. I used my wonder clips to clamp it down. Luckily it serged beautifully.

This one is a large graded to a medium in the hips (with better blending to the smaller size than the blue one) in cotton lycra from Joanns. It's the same fabric as my daughters' Schooner tees and I have been saving it for the perfect pattern. I love how this pattern fits in cotton lycra! I love how it fits in the back.

I am eager to make one for Ansley (who took these pictures!)- probably a maxi length because that's what she's been asking for. Maybe I can coordinate it with her Halloween costume.... I am also thinking about copying the tester who thought about making a rash guard with this pattern next summer.
The ladies and girls Avenue Dresses are on sale through October 3, 2017 for only $5 CAD (which is like $4 U.S. Dollars) and then will be only $8 CAD for the rest of the week.
