Hi!

I responded to an ad in the back of BBW Magazine for a brochure from
a place that carries patterns for large-size and tall women, sizes
22 to 70.  I already know about Great Fit and other large size patterns
available through the regular pattern catalogues, but I had never 
heard of this place.  Anyway, I got it today and it looks great!

It's mostly career stuff, suits and dresses, with a few casual things
like jumpers, blouses, etc.  There is a drawing and description of
each pattern, and it looks like the average price for a pattern is
around $12.00.  I'm definitely going to place an order.  They will
also make the clothes for you if you don't like to sew, or whatever.

The information is:  Patterns Size 22 to 70 by Rosa Bellamy
                     222 N. 11th St.
                     Clarksville, TN. 37040

phone (615)645-8249.

I believe the brochure cost a couple of dollars, but there is a coupon
enclosed that makes up for it if you order.  They have a lot of patterns!
I would say at least 50.

Also I got another catalog from a company called Grey Walsh capes, they
carry a wide variety of capes, some in large sizes.  They are having a
sale right now, for example one item is a "Sherlock Holmes" cape,
a long, fully lined, wool cape in tan tweedy weave, with an attached
shoulder cape  and welt pockets.  They say it fits super-sizes.  It
is normally $350.00, but is now on sale for $99.00.  They also have
a matching "Sherlock Holmes" cap available for $15.00 (regularly $40.00)
For a catalog, call (800) 999-2212, or write to: P.O. Box 1912,
Amarillo, TX.  79106.

I just thought I would share this information with everyone--I have
no interest in these other than as a potential customer!
