Notes	July 14 EDIT: SO I FOUND A HUGE ISSUE WITH THIS PATTERN. the SVG file is about 5 inches longer (didn't check width, but I assume similar) than the regular pdf file. No wonder it's been problematic. I figured this out by going into the "fabric estimating" and noticing that the back bodice looked to be 16.5 inches vs 21 inches. I then measured both the SVG file and pdf file and yup. The SVG file is incorrect. July 13 : There is something just not right about this pattern. It shows an empire waistline, but the waist line started at my hips ? The front pleats didn't work (but that's probably the fabric). I needed to take 2 inches off the shoulders. It just felt.... Too big ? Like WAYYY TOO BIG. But I double checked and all my measurements are right. Everything was printed correctly. I'm just really at a loss. Three days and I'm still working on it. Currently raising the waist. Took in the sides by 1 inch each side. 2 inches and counting in the middle. Im so confused and annoyed. I had to purchase this pattern twice because I accidentally selected the regular pdf instead of the large print pdf... And, for whatever reason, my free coupon didn't work (I emailed lekala and they said it was active and should work but...). Might be my last project with lekala. It's a shame but this is two patterns that are a bust. 1 pattern has worked out so far for me :(
