A very pretty pattern. Looking forward to making up the blouse

Please note that this pattern is not suitable for those without experience with vintage pattern notation. Otherwise, a good product, and very suitable for my needs.

Amazing pattern thank you I love it.

Perfect! 10’s across the board

I haven’t had time to make the shirt yet. But I can’t wait until I can sit down and make it.

The grading has been quite difficult to figure out

When I got the file I was adrift in this pattern. I didn't understand it at all. After nice contact with the seller and a You Tube video, I can say what a beautiful pattern.

Not a real pattern I was a bit desapointed.

I thought it would be easier to use, but it isn't easy at all.

Lovely easy to read pattern :)

The concept is so cool and I loved seeing a custom sized pattern emerge from those tiny pieces. However, while there are instructions to create the pattern, once you have it there aren't instructions for construction. Much can be figured out but you don't know how many of each piece to cut or exactly how they are meant to go together.

Just what I was looking for!

I’m a trained costume designer of 18 years with a historical specialty, and I’m struggling with making this pattern work. It’s just not user friendly. The pattern pieces and rulers in the instructions aren’t laid out completely straight, which complicates the scaling process, especially if you’re planning to use a computer driven die cut machine to make your enlarged pieces. The units are inconsistent, courtesy labels are missing, and the tone of the instructions leaves one with the impression that questions are unwelcome. It’s exclusionary in a way it doesn’t need to be.

I have not used it yet.
