I’m pleased and proud to be able to
introduce a collection of patterns designed to make
anyone look more slender.
ILLUSIONS- Patterns For Real
People™
This “Ultimate” program addition to
the Livingsoft line of 65 custom patterns was
designed for people with those challenges that extra
weight and age bring to our REAL BODIES. (Smaller
sized real bodies will like these features as well!)
Price:
$99.00

The Fab Tunic and Fab Coat make
over-garments look slender rather than bulky. |

What do people say
about Illusions?
|
Three basic premises are used in making these
"Patterns For Real People":
-
Illusion - Keeping the garment lines as
slimming as possible
-
Economy - Keeping the individual pattern
pieces as narrow as possible
-
STYLE and PANACHE are the right of all Real
People
ILLUSIONS offers comfortable custom fit patterns
based not on a dress size but on your personal custom size!
Also included is a new casual fit option, allowing you to reduce the
underarm ease, which is so often found in more unfitted clothing.
True, adjustable Side Darts and subtle waist shaping give the
illusion of a curved waistline. The result is a column of soft,
flowing fabric that invites motion, but with a little shape –
garments with a little extra comfort ease without the bulk normally
found in unfitted clothing.
New design features include pleats, godets and vents, which users
can apply to a variety of blouses, dresses, jackets, tunics and
nightwear. These design features emphasize a vertical line and allow
ease where needed without adding extra width. New patterns include
extras such as stretch Raglans (from blouses to a REAL SWEATSHIRT),
side panel jackets, and unique new dress designs for women of STYLE.
Illusions includes illustrated assembly instructions
and construction tips to insure you get the best results with your
new tools and features. As the pattern designer (part of a talented
team of individuals who worked on this exciting new program), I am
pleased and proud to present to you, ILLUSIONS – For Real People!
