Pattern Description:
The Meghan peasant imparts a stunning silhouette to women of all shapes and sizes. It is relaxed and so easy to wash and wear, but can be made as dressy as you choose with lots of sleeve and length options. The flattering empire bodice can be made with a plunging neckline that shows a bit of dcollet, or it can be made to be a bit more modest, depending on your comfort level. The vibrant damasks, florals, and stripes from the Sis Boom Collection are perfectly suited for this style. Use a single fabric for a classic, continuous look, or mix and max for bohemian patchwork fun.
Sizing / Finished Measurements:
- Misses XS (0-2) to XL (16-18)
- Womens 1X (16W-18W) to 3X (24W-26W)

It s really difficult to find beautiful patterns for Plus Sized Women...
Fits great to my Small Sized friends, too...

I also changed the skirt... I took 2-3 inches off and gave it an A-line shape...
I didn't use an elastic at the bottom of the sleeve... I think it s more flattering like this...
I ve made 3 dress and intend to make many more
