Has any body used it? I just got it and I was wondering what you guys thought of it.

So far from my glancing over the instructions it has alot more info than the commerical patterns I have used.

If you have used it is there any funky quirks that may be hidden? Tips to make it a easier ride? I know I need to make a mock up, but is there anything else that I need to know?

Yes I have and I can say? Make a Toile and get ready to refit so that it works for you, it is set up for a long torso, so if you are short waisted (like me), then you will need to adjust like the dickens, other than that I have had no real issues.

I have this  basic Alter Years Pattern that I have made many times to lace up the front, back, and sides. This is my go to pattern for the Bodice part of Irish Dresses.
