[Ansteorra] Pattern Question

[Casey Weed]

Easy to follow but agony to fit.  The designer made the mistake of scaling
them linearly (which isn't how people work when they are bigger or smaller
than the original).

If you are good at draping and fitting they make a nice starting point but
there is only one size on her patterns that is going to be accurately
scaled.  Lucky you if you happen to be that size.

It's not like following a Vogue couture pattern but it certain lsn't easy
work.
