Troubleshooting

Pattern pieces don't match up.

Double-check that you have the correct pattern pieces and that they are aligned properly. Review the instructions for clarification and ensure that the seam allowances are correct.

Costume is too tight or too loose.

Adjust the pattern during the cutting stage to fit your measurements or the wearer's measurements. Check the sizing guide and consider making a muslin (test version) before cutting into your final fabric.

Pockets are difficult to attach.
