Title: Sizing problems
Review: I was surprised and disappointed to find that instructions for all the women's sweaters in this book top out at what is labeled an XL but which fits only a 40" bust, comparable to a size 14 dress or a medium t-shirt, and which is a measurement I haven't been able to claim since the eighth grade. I don't buy the usual excuse, that people were smaller in the past, for tiny-sizing vintage patterns: my grandmother, born in 1889, and my mother, born in 1923, were both 5'11" with figures proportionate to that height, just like me born in 1951. So unless you are a small woman or are knitting for a kid, this is not the book for you.
