costumecarol said... I used one of these patterns once, and will never, ever, use them again. (I was the SECOND seamstress the customer contacted, the first turned the project aside just seeing the pattern) The line drawings on the envelope and the pattern views didn't match. The seams weren't trued. Seams that were supposed to go together weren't close to the same length and there was no indication they were supposed to be eased together.The instructions were poor. In contacting the "designer/owner," I was told the wrong file had been sent to the printer, and she decided to sell the faulty product at full price anyway. (She did offer to send a different pattern out as compensation! Pointless, as THIS was the garb the woman had been told to wear) When I explained this was not for me but I had been contracted to make one outfit one client, she informed me that this was not a permitted use of the pattern, and threatened to sue. 12/22/12 8:50 PM
