If so, you would have to add a half inch to the perimiter of all the pattern pieces.<br /><br />AND REMEMBER: The summer blouse is over-sized. Some people (including myself, I assure you!) benefit from this roominess more than others. It's more of a shaped, fitted shirt on me while it is a blousy, roomy tunic on some other gals.<br /><br />With that info in mind, you might not need the size you think! <br /><br />Good Luck!!!<br /><br />XO,<br />RheaRhea Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957468264834006871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130625691574268449.post-60007466087672934592009-05-06T05:25:00.000-07:002009-05-06T05:25:00.000-07:00hi Rhea,

I need 1 more size up (essentially an XL) is there an easy way to make the pattern bigger? hoping to join your Summer Sew group too!zoesimmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04515569078977971764noreply@blogger.com
