I have almost every Jalie skating pattern available. I love the versatility of their patterns. I custom make dresses to each skater's measurements. I don't go strictly by L, S, etc. Sometimes girth has to be added or taken out. I find their patterns to be the easiest to work with. Specialty Sportswear has nice designs but you have to order each size separately. I personally can't afford that. I have made one of the SS dresses and found the directions to be lacking. I strictly use Jalie now.
