In general, they are not easy patterns. But they can give wonderful results. They are intended for those who want to make something the period way and not the modern way. Sometimes experienced seamstresses disregard instructions because they already know how to put a garment together. You cannot do this with these patterns. You have to follow the instructions.

And if you run into some issues, the owner is super nice. Her name is Kass McGann and she is here on LJ (Kassrants) and on facebook. RH is also on facebook.

Good luck!
