Customer Reviews
The measurements listed are not correct. The bust on this final product is 40 inches, and the waist 29.5. It was listed as a 32 inch bust and 26 inch waist. This is not an extra-small sized jacket. More like a mens medium. The arms are HUGE too. I did print and check the size/accuracy box and have sewing experience.
This pattern is great with a few minor hiccups.
For one, the pattern is password protected, so I wasn't able to combine each sheet into one large plot. Eventually I fixed this by uploading the file onto a site that cracked the password.
There does seem to be a slight misalignment between the front panels and the back; I'm not sure if this comes from the original pattern or the current transcription, but you will need to ease the entire back half into the entire front half. It's not a deal breaker, it just seemed a bit odd.
Purchased this pattern for my Peggy Carter cosplay, and loved the experience of making it. Definitely were some parts of the instructions that were unclear, likely because I'm not from the 1940s, but nothing that I couldn't figure out or work around and my jacket turned out great! Highly recommend doing as the pattern says and making a practice garment first - that saved me a lot of headaches and made the whole process easier. The PDF was good quality and the layout instructions for printing and piecing it together were easy. Will definitely purchase patterns from this seller for future creative endeavors!
very nice pattern, the instructions were good to
Excellent quality pattern! Instructions were clear and having access to the pattern right after purchase was lovely!
