EDIT: I cut out my thoughts about the pattern photo shoots and how the garments are probably pinned and clipped like they are for ready to wear clothing as I have never seen evidence of it. I do indeed think that this happens to make the garments look "better" on the pattern envelopes but having never seen a behind the scenes photo of it I decided not to mention it in the video, I probably should have.

Hey Peeps! The title of this video is very "tongue in cheek" but the sentiment is true. The "Big 4" pattern envelopes are not as helpful as they could and SHOULD be.

I genuinely can not remember when I found out about the finished garment measurements that are printed on the tissue paper of the patterns but they are exclusively what I use to get my garments to fit me the way that I want them to, I totally ignore the size recommendation on the outer pattern envelope.

The companies have all the finished garment measurements and I think they should be clearly printed on the pattern envelope so that you can pick a size that works for you. I also think the garment that the model wears on the pattern envelope should reflect the sizing the pattern company is telling you to make.....which currently they most definitely do NOT.

Again (I know I say this a lot put it bears repeating) fit is a very personal thing and I am in no way saying that everyone should make their garments fit the way I like mine to fit. What I am saying is that pattern company should give us the information so we can easily make that decision for ourselves.
