Yes, I tried a Wild Ginger demo several years ago and had a hard time
getting the program to do what I wanted. I'm fond of inverted V
empire waist and a few other things that I couldn't figure out how to
do. I'm sure their programs can do what I want; it was just a big
struggle for me. I really like many of the styles of the Unique
Pattern company's dresses, tops and bottoms, so it might be worth the
admittedly big initial investment. I have had such disappointments
when I've designed the styles myself. I don't sew enough right now to
become expert at the software. Some time in the future I hope.

Sometimes you have to use the pattern editor to add seams, and that is
pretty easy. I have seen some people unhappy with Unique Patterns -- I
don't remember why, but for some people, the patterns didn't fit well.
But at $25 a pop for a pattern, if you were going to buy more than a
few, it might be worth it to get the pattern drafting software and learn
it -- or else buy the same patterns from their regular catalogs (they
sell Butterick, New Look, etc. patterns in custom sizes) and learn how
to alter the patterns -- that is, unless money is no object.
(Disclaimer: I would croak to pay $25 for a pattern.)
