Question about patterns. What is the/your opinion on JP Ryan patterns for 18th century. Are they better than the Big Three patterns? I have no problem with altering a pattern to make it more correct, I just need a starting point. This is a completely new era for me so I need that starting point, and at this point don't wish to completely scale up something new. I am still bitter about my epic fail on the Edwardian so I want to ease into the 18c.
If JP Ryan's patterns are complete crap any suggestions on other patterns?
I am mostly looking at the tops, bodices and jackets. I think I can accomplish a petticoat without the patterns.

I actually have a JP Ryan pattern and patterns from the big three (check my blog silkfrocks to see the dress) and to be honest with you it was easier to drape a pattern from "The Cut of Women's Clothes" that gave me the best pattern/dress of all.
