Ahead of the Curve - Jenny Rushmore

Written by Jenny Rushmore, Ahead of the Curve is a paperback dressmaking book created to help curvy and plus-size women sew a wardrobe that fits. Centred on building body confidence through better-fitting clothes, it guides you through the process of adjusting patterns to suit your individual shape, with clear “Fit Clinics” that combine tutorials and case studies to make fitting feel more approachable.

Inside, you’ll find five basic garment patterns: trousers, a t-shirt, a vest top and two dress designs. The book includes full-size patterns in UK sizes 16–26 (US sizes 12–32), giving you a practical starting point for learning fit and then customising your own clothes as your skills develop. With colour illustrations throughout, it’s designed for anyone who wants to create garments that reflect personal style without compromising on fit.
