You will find more than 25 plus size womens patterns below for tops, skirts, dresses, leggings, coats, pants, short and many more!

Classic relaxed fit top

Size: up to size 26

Enrich your wardrobe with a new, casual yet stylish top that you'll wear on those warm spring and summer days. This pattern comes in three slightly different options. The first is a short sleeve shirt that reaches your waist. The second variant is longer, reaching over your waist, with side slits, and without sleeves. The third option is a combination of the first two, a sleeveless top that reaches your waist.

Women's top with 3/4-length sleeves

You can never have too many long-sleeved shirts with this crazy weather that changes so often. This pattern is ideal for those transitional periods that last longer each year because it's breezy, but not too much. The top has 3/4 sleeves with slits on the cuffs and a partially open back that closes with a tie ribbon behind the back.

Skirt pattern from existing skirt

Everyone has that skirt they would love to clone, just in different fabric or colors. With this pattern, you can do that! The pattern helps you duplicate a skirt in no time, with only the usual sewing essentials. In this particular case, the cloned skirt was a knee-high A-line skirt with a waistband and a zipper at the back.

Knit peasant dress

Size: ANY – the tutorial shows you how to trace your own top to make the pattern

Here's another cloning pattern, but this time, the clothing piece is a peasant dress.

This specific dress features a high pulled waistline, gathered neckline, and wide tank top sleeves that are also gathered around the outer edge.
