I have found patterns I use nowadays to be pretty accurate, but maybe
it's just that I am more careful than I used to be. I always check
what the finished measurements on the pattern say and go by those.

Hi,
I am thinking about buying a Simplicity pattern for a modern dress
style, but it has been years and years since I used one of theirs
(most of my historic stuff I just fit to myself.) When I was younger,
the patterns were made with so much "ease" that if I followed the
cutting lines for the size suggested by my measurements, the finished
product would be about six inches too big -- the "ease" must have been
about 10 inches! Has anybody got a sense of how these patterns run
now? The style I'm looking at is fairly fitted, so I want to start
with a pattern that's reasonably close to the right size.
thanks!
Lauren
