I have just bought my first Bootstrap pattern. I used the advanced customisation facility - the Pro Fit measurements - and was looking forward to something that really and truly fitted. Luckily I looked closely at all of the pattern pieces before cutting anything out.
The armscye at the front measures 4 inches - and yes, the shoulder seam is supposed to be at the top of the shoulder, and the side seam falling from the armpit. The pattern piece is shown below - the armscye is only identifiable because it comes above the bust dart!
The sleeve, from seam to seam measures an inch less than the measurement that I gave for my upper arm. The pattern is for woven fabric.
I have gone through the measurements I gave and none of them seem unreasonable - they are all close to the figures that they would use if I hadn't customised them, some over, some under, just as you might expect.
Has anyone else had this sort of experience with Bootstrap? I'm reluctant to trust them again because although I could clearly see these errors, next time they may be more subtle. I have emailed them.
