I have the first Gertie but not the second. I love her aesthetic, but her patterns are set for her figure - not mine. (little bust, little waist definition, soft hips). I found out with the first couple makes that the patterns just don't work at all, adjustments or not. That said, I used her online tutorial via craftsy (no longer avail, she didn't do support) to learn to hand-tailor, and I've made some beautiful garments with her help.
Colette patterns are perfect for my girl - when she grows up. Hips FTW! Again, love the aesthetic, but the patterns I got (and they are GORGEOUS patterns, come in little books with good instructions) just don't work for me. That center seam she puts in every darn skirt. :p
I do reasonably well in Big Four - after adjustments - and I'm liking Sew Chic for indie patterns.
Working on a dirndl next.. after two extremely boring shirts that almost look like scrubs, I've sworn off boring clothing. I can buy THAT at the store.
LMK if you need some help looking for patterns that would suit, I'd enjoy that. :) _H
