I bought this, cons-intructions are confusing.

my friend bought me this pattern as a gift a while ago, I love the high waistline perfect to get that Edwardian silhouette, and amazing for wearing with waistcoats to insure there is no gap between the skirt and waistcoat showing the shirt underneath. I 100% recommend this pattern, hopefully I can order myself from here soon!

I’ve looked at this pattern for a while (2 years or so) and now I finally had somewhere to wear this to!
I am not yet done sewing it, so I cannot say a lot about that process now, but there were some things that stood out to me while assembling the e-pattern.
1. I am SO HAPPY about the sizes. A lot of historical patterns are a whole lot of “fuck around and find out” with one size and a lot of luck. I cannot be bothered to do that. This is my first Truly Victorian Pattern and I am positively surprised – also by the number of sizes!
–> as an addition, I would like there to be easier differentiation between the sizes. It can be quite hard to follow the right line, when they are all printed the same way. Most patterns I’ve worked with had different lines (so dotted, full lines, dash-and-dot-lines…) which made it easier. They could fully repeat at some point, but just having 2 or 3 different kinds of lines would make following a line easier.
2. It was not clear to me that there was boning involved. I’ve felt like I’ve read it somewhere in a blog entry, but then again, another person didn’t add boning and didn’t even mention it. I’m more a “historical inspired” and less of a “historically accurate” person, so I do not know a lot about different kinds of historical patterns. But while reading the “Notions” it did not mention boning or how much I would need. Even the notions in the pdf did not mention it, it just said so in the description. That is an extra cost I would have liked to calculate with, especially considering that I can’t easily buy any synthetic whalebone or similar things where I live. One of the reasons I chose this pattern was that I would not need to worry about that. So it would be nice to add that to the description in my opinion.
I am now waiting for boning before I can continue working on the skirt. I hope it turns out well. For now it seems easy enough to work with.
