Darlene Miller, teacher, author and designer, has revolutionized the lives of countless women by redefining the standards for choosing garment styles. Her book Your Shape, Your Clothes and You – Secrets of a Successful Wardrobe teaches women how to dress based on their triangle, square, circle or oval body shape. Her unique concept fostered the development of a line of basic patterns for each of the shapes. These patterns eliminate time consuming fittings to create garments that fit perfectly. Recently she has adapted quilting techniques for her patterns so garments not only fit well, they look fabulous as wearable art. Her patterns have been reviewed in Threads Magazine and Sew News.
