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.
