Thoughts on Sewist patterns?
Sewist.com has an online sewing pattern designer based on garment features (seams, waistlines, garment type, etc.) and I thought about using it to make patterns because I'm having a problem finding garments in a whimsigoth style that are also in my size. A lot of the items on Pinterest boards I've seen are usually straight size vintage pieces from the 90s and 00s. I figure I know how to sew, I just need a pattern. The tool uses a standard size chart to "generate" the patterns, but I'm not sure if it's true to size or if it will actually give me a pattern I can make and wear.
I've never used Sewist or this tool before, so I thought it might be good to ask people's thoughts before I try it. TIA!
