- Hi!
-
- I responded to an ad in the back of BBW Magazine for a brochure from
- a place that carries patterns for large-size and tall women, sizes
- 22 to 70. I already know about Great Fit and other large size patterns
- available through the regular pattern catalogues, but I had never
- heard of this place. Anyway, I got it today and it looks great!
-
- It's mostly career stuff, suits and dresses, with a few casual things
- like jumpers, blouses, etc. There is a drawing and description of
- each pattern, and it looks like the average price for a pattern is
- around $12.00. I'm definitely going to place an order. They will
- also make the clothes for you if you don't like to sew, or whatever.
-
- The information is: Patterns Size 22 to 70 by Rosa Bellamy
- 222 N. 11th St.
- Clarksville, TN. 37040
-
- phone (615)645-8249.
-
- I believe the brochure cost a couple of dollars, but there is a coupon
- enclosed that makes up for it if you order. They have a lot of patterns!
- I would say at least 50.
-
- Also I got another catalog from a company called Grey Walsh capes, they
- carry a wide variety of capes, some in large sizes. They are having a
- sale right now, for example one item is a "Sherlock Holmes" cape,
- a long, fully lined, wool cape in tan tweedy weave, with an attached
- shoulder cape and welt pockets. They say it fits super-sizes. It
- is normally $350.00, but is now on sale for $99.00. They also have
- a matching "Sherlock Holmes" cap available for $15.00 (regularly $40.00)
- For a catalog, call (800) 999-2212, or write to: P.O. Box 1912,
- Amarillo, TX. 79106.
-
- I just thought I would share this information with everyone--I have
- no interest in these other than as a potential customer!
