Those balloons are so cool!

Notre Dame de Grace looks fabulous on you but I’d read all sorts of sizing issues on Ravelry myself so I think you did a fantastic job! It looks like a good fit so I’m not sure of the issue?? to be more in line with what the designer wanted?

Wow, that sweater looks great on you! The color and style are very flattering. I have a similar body shape (wider hips than bust), and I also am unsure how to adjust. I hate when the bottom falls at the midpoint, emphasizing the widest part. I try to look for designs that fall at the waist, or have waist shaping and then extend past the midpoint of the hips.

Lovely, lovely sweater! (And that photo with the balloons made me gasp.) As for sweater-fitting . . . have you checked out Amy Herzog’s “Fit to Flatter” series? It’s wonderful. Here’s a link: http://www.amyherzogdesigns.com/2010/05/23/fit-to-flatter-installment-4-sweaters-and-you/

I won’t even try to give advice since I’ve never knit a sweater. But it still looks great on you!!! So pretty.

Maybe ribbing at the bottom of the sweater will help since it’s more adjustable. I’ve also used a pattern previously that had extra stitches in the purl part of the ribbing, which could be decreased when you got to the body of the sweater, and this was kind of a clever way of having extra stitches that went away without showing. But I think the sweater looks great!

No words of wisdom to share, but the sweater looks great on you! 🙂

Oh, balloons – always so much fun to see in the sky.
