Three times the charm???

Third time trying to get this posted. So you are going to get the quick version. I want to design a sweater that's flattering for me. I like these two patterns, Fern Lace and Vine Lace from The Knitters Bible, a very cool book. I'm round, over weight, apple shaped, look pregnant, at high risk for heart attack and stroke, does that give you enough of a visual? Whatever. I just want a pretty sweater that doesn't make me look like I'm wearing an afgan with sleeves made out of a nasty yarn. I found a thin pink suede like yarn in a pretty light pink color so it won't be too bulky, the pattern will be smaller though. I just want an opinion on which one might be more flattering on me. I love them both so how about some opinions? I'm not sure when I will get to this but it's in my head all the time. The top will be stockinette because my sisters are too big for eyelettes (they'd be windows LOL). Anyway, help? *grin*
