Sometimes you have to use the pattern editor to add seams, and that is
pretty easy. I have seen some people unhappy with Unique Patterns -- I
don't remember why, but for some people, the patterns didn't fit well.
But at $25 a pop for a pattern, if you were going to buy more than a
few, it might be worth it to get the pattern drafting software and learn
it -- or else buy the same patterns from their regular catalogs (they
sell Butterick, New Look, etc. patterns in custom sizes) and learn how
to alter the patterns -- that is, unless money is no object.
(Disclaimer: I would croak to pay $25 for a pattern.)
Erp, I went ahead and ordered the Unique Patterns startup kit. The
measurement process looks pretty intensive, and they include details
like "Dowager's Curve," thrusting head, bowed legs, and many others.
They also request photographs to help them further tweak the program.
("Ugly face" ? "Bad hair" ? ;-) ) Given your input, I will try to
get super accurate measurements.
Regarding pattern cost, at least the first one is included in the
startup price. But get this -- it takes 6 weeks after submission
before your first pattern is ready! What the !@#?$%^&*!!?? Summer
will be over by the time I get those board shorts made...
