See comments: designer is very responsive.By K.MarkeyBeautiful crochet designs with a good deal of variation throughout the whole book. Very disappointing however that the sizes stop at XL; OR 2X; inconsistently; with variation of several inches within in those sizes -- not even consistent bust sizes. I am hoping I can make adjustments because I am plus; AND I hate tight clothing. If multiples were given for the patterns; I could size up to get the fit I prefer; but I do not see that information being given. If you want that; The Crochet Crowd has videos on You Tube to help with figuring out multiples using diagrams; so I will consult that to get the sizes I want. I find this lack of information upsizing confounding at this time; when other designers are providing multiples; and sizing as high as 5X; and the bust sizing within a specified size is always consistent; not variable as these. Also: we are in an age of accepting women of all sizes shapes....soooo; I would think a modern designer would recognize what competitors are doing the current social milieu. I will keep the book because it is amazing and I will learn from it; but curiously; it is not convenient for women who want looser clothing OR for women who need bigger sizes and want to make beautiful crochet apparel. UPDATE 9.29.16: I upgraded this product one star because the designer was respectful; polite so prompt in offering me assistance; and where to contact her on Ravelry. She also has a website with a contact email.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
