I thought the Simplicity 9140 would be my next sew. Loose, casual & a quick sew. It did not disappoint! I started out with a size Medium at the shoulders & bust, Large waist and XL at the hips. The dress fit but was so frumpy & big. Girl M thought it was a dress I wore in my "larger" days! I did end up unpicking a lot of serger seams and taking in the dress to as close to size Medium.

I also shortened the skirt by 3". I measured my height this week and could not believe I am now 5' 4"! I even had Dear Hubby remeasure me.....still only 5' 4"! I have always been 5' 8"! Where did 4" go? Maybe now that I'm the big 5-0 I'm starting to shrink! I think of 5' 4" as Sophia on The Golden Girls! Oh my!
