Rita Farro wrote the book, “Life Is Not A Dress Size” --
about her struggle to live life in the fat lane of a
country that worships thin people.
Rita believes every woman should understand her own body
type – then learn to make the most of her 3 seconds –
because that’s how long you have to make a first
impression.
Get over the negative. Focus on the positive. And use
your love of sewing to do it!! Rita also designed and
wrote the CD for Designs in Machine Embroidery magazine,
“Rita Farro’s Embroidery For All Sizes”.
And, through her one-woman style-show, she’ll show you
how embroidery can add a vertical line. Make optical
illusion your friend!

back, large or small bust, small shoulders, broad back,
large arms and rounded tummy. Next you will see fabrics
which make the best shirts followed by foolproof
techniques for tailored sleeve plackets, pointed collar,
