Instead I used a method that I use often where you slip the last stitch with yarn in the back and knit that stitch in the next row. <BR/><BR/>There is probably a name for this but I don't know it. It really tightens that last stitch which sometimes gets a bit loose for me and it gives it a nice edge to sew together.Ana Petrovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863761001790360855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387153.post-1153347034900624522006-07-19T15:10:00.000-07:002006-07-19T15:10:00.000-07:00I'm 5"3' and about size 12-14 and made the size L....I'm 5"3' and about size 12-14 and made the size L. It fits great. I don't have much of a bust ;-(. A friend of mine who is taller than I am, say about 5"9' tried it one and it fit her great. I did shorten the length of my sleeves by 10 Stitches. I also didn't do the edging stitches on the top (made my first Mermaid with it, but found that it's nicer to sew together without it, plus the seam lays flatter. Hope that helps.ilvponshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05943992535924481119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387153.post-1153270647249772662006-07-18T17:57:00.000-07:002006-07-18T17:57:00.000-07:00I would knit the Large for sure.

I am looking to do a Size 14 and am between making the M or the L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
