- This _ALWAYS_ seems to be the case! I recently bought two different
- skirt patterns from two different companies, and they are totally different-
- one is very full at the waist (aaccording to the picture), and the other
- was (supposedly) smooth at the waist, with a slight flair. Well, not
- only are the drawings completely wrong, but the could actually be
- _swapped_ to get a good representaition - and these skirts are completely
- different! I HATE it when the pattern drawing is wrong. Shouldn't there
- be some standard - that the drawing actually HAS to represent what is
- in the envelope? Isn't this a form of false advertising? GRRRR!!!
