I'm one of those girls that got a sewing machine for Christmas, and I'm really anxious to start making myself a whole new wardrobe. I'm finding tons of great vintage dress/skirt patterns, but none are in my size. I'm slightly husky and all I need is for the waist to be a bit bigger. I was thinking of buying the patterns anyway so I can trace them on paper and make some slight adjustments. Would this work? Any suggestions?

Thank you so much!
