These elegant, fun, and, most importantly, free patterns, are perfect for highlighting your best assets and will let you rock the hottest trends with style and confidence.
We love the following patterns because even if they aren't necessarily modeled or made for plus sizes, they have the ability to be made larger without losing the effect they were designed to achieve. So pretty, so stylish, so you - no matter what size you are.
Many of these patterns and tutorials have a size range included. For those that don't, the designer includes details about adjusting the size and drafting a pattern that's for your specific measurements. For more information, read our guide, How to Grade Patterns for Plus Size.
