Handmade figure-flatterers + easily hide those holiday pounds

Dear users, dear authors,
For Christmas, of course you need sweets, savory treats, and great extras on your plate. 2021 was long and not exactly easy, so you’ve truly earned it. In this thread you’ll find suitable figure-flattering patterns / beautiful clothing for an outfit that looks flattering anytime. Have fun with them.

@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc.

Yes, Josefa, a few grams of extra padding on the hips have already made themselves comfortable on me thanks to Mozartkugeln and cookies :-) The only thing that helps is clever clothing cuts. Here are my suggestions for figure-flattering pieces to make yourself. For more pictures, information, and the pattern, please simply click on the headings.

Warm regards from Ina

Summer Poncho - knitted
Of course, you can wear it all year round. It drapes very casually and skims the figure.





Cardigan with Shawl Collar
The long shawl collar visually lengthens the silhouette. It is long enough to cover the bottom and keeps you nice and warm. It is knitted as a raglan from the top down.



Princess Dress for Little Dolls
Yes, this flatters the figure too. The wider the skirt of a dress, the slimmer the waist appears. The ladies may not need it, but the dresses are still beautiful. You can make it in different versions.

This poncho made from sock yarn is very easy to knit and cleverly hides any little extra curves. It’s also super comfortable.

This vest also has a slimming effect thanks to the vertical stripes. It’s also knitted with a slightly fitted waist and really creates a flattering silhouette.

A poncho like this made from sock yarn keeps you nice and warm and comfortably drapes around the upper body without anything feeling tight or pinching. Your arms stay free and flexible, and it’s also very easy to make.
