La Fred

"Elegant, classic clothing with a contemporary twist."

Notes from Bobbi

I love La Fred patterns for their style, fit and quality. I've made each of these patterns numerous times and always been delighted. The subtle shaping accentuates the good points of almost every body. There are pictures of one of my Athena blouses on this web site. Link: blouse

I urge you to try these patterns

Artemis Coat

This very loose-fitting, 3/4 length coat features an attached scarf collar that can be worn in many different ways. The scarf can be tied in front, worn over the back, or if your fabric looks good on both sides, it can be worn around the head as a hood. The front closes asymmetrically with 3 buttons. You may choose patch pockets or in-seam side pockets. The wide sleeves are cut all in one with the bodice and have a deep hem so that you may fold back a cuff. Lining is optional.

Sizes 4 to 26 (XS-XXL) are included in the package

Price $15

Athena Blouse

A loose-fitting long or short sleeved blouse in crisp fabrics with unique square armhole, pleated sleeve hem, and wing collar. Can be made with wide or narrow collar, and choice of front opening styles -- straight or asymmetrical. Includes instructions for altering for sizes larger than XL.

Callisto Skirt

View A, a mid-calf bias-cut skirt features three tiers at the bottom, each with raw edges. The front is cut higher, sweeping elegantly to the longer back. This version can be constructed in either a single layer or with sheer overlays. View B is an eight-gore flared skirt, with an opaque underskirt and a draped overlay. The overlay has loops sewn into the seams, through which cords or bias tubes have been threaded. The cords are pulled up to create a swag effect.

Sizes 6 to 26

Bobbi's Notes:
This skirt looks great on everyone. I've seen it on people in all sizes. It seems as though it wouldn't be right for people with more rounded tummies, but it is. It just de emphasizes the stomach. I highly recommend this as a flattering skirt.

Clio Blouse

This loose-fitting, pullover blouse has a wing collar, an upper bodice cut all-in-one with the sleeve, and a seam across the bust. View A features long sleeves; View B features shorter sleeves to the elbow. The lower bodice is cut on the bias, flares out slightly from the seam to the hip, and features top stitching at the wide center front seam.

Daphne Pant

This fitted, slim pant features front and back darts, straight legs, a center back invisible zipper and elastic sewn into the waistband for comfort.

Sizes XS to XXL (4-26) are included in the package

Price $12

Note from Bobbi:
I've seen these pants on every imaginable body type and they look wonderful on all from size 4 to size 26. If you've been looking for a slim leg pants pattern to fit real people, try these
