I tried Dress Shop a year ago,because I was always looking for softwear that I could use,searching the internet i came across this one,tried the demo and fell in love with the idea of it.
There must be accurate measurements put into a chart, that drafts the patterns you choose,I did make a few slopers/test garments/muslins,but i was determined this wouldn't beat me lol.
Since last year i have made several outfits for myself including a sun hat and visor.My favorite is the princess classic blouse,and the Empire waist dress.Once i had the correct measurements in my chart it was a full steam ahead !I feel there are some follks who aren't satisfied with the program,perhaps have not yet expereinced having a good fitting garment.
Good Luck with your choice :Canada:

I think that you are probably at least partically right. We spend so much time trying to be satisfied with a purchased fit...even when it really doesn't that we don't really know what a good fit looks and feels like.
