I just downloaded the new update of MPD,blown away with excitement here.What a great,fabulous job testers and all concerned who worked so hard on this!Thanks to Bob also.Extatic aint the word here GGGG.

Even the testers are excited about this release!

We are exhausted, but I am just finishing up an armhole princess jacket made with default settings and it fits really nicely!! So Much better than DS ever even dreamed of fitting.

I am so pleased! Gone is all that fabric under the arm and the princess seam shaping is flattering. Sleeves hang well. It is GREAT!!

We wore Bob out with out demands for the perfect princess pattern and he really did a great job for us!

I am so anxious to make a whole wardrobe of princess styles....just in time for spring.

AND the unfitted jackets are greatly improved also. The side seam has been redesigned so the wrinkles are gone.

This is a really SUPER release! It is worth the price of MPD!!

All the testers are to be congratulated and thanked as well. You, Kaaren, Bob and all the LSNW staff have done such a fabulous job. Please know that it is greatly appreciated! Now I just wish I had more time to sew....boo hoo!

Speaking of testers......This amazing group of talented women spent countless hours wrote gazillions of emails, drew pictures, sent photos and tried all kinds of quirky methods to get where we finally arrived.

There are over 1200 I think patterns to casual outerwear.and every element and every single bit of every pattern was refined.

The Washington User group worked very hard with our DS Greg to get the ball rolling on the princess line everything and then the main tester group got their innigns in.

The effort was monumental and they are happy.There isnt a software company existent that has a better test group........
three cheers for the testers!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

When will DressShop princess designs be updated?

When will DressShop princess designs be updated?

Very, very shortly now. The work was done a few weeks ago, but we wanted to wait through the MPD outerwear testing to verify that the changes really worked right. There had been more reports about the princess jackets and vests, so those were our key test concern.

The changes got tuned repeatedly. Moving that to Dress Shop will not take long. But, we do need to finish the work and testing on the Spring 2006 collection, so it will be a bit. Again, those patterns are ready, but the testers need a break, then some time to review these. So, until talk to them all about schedule, I can't give you a firm date on the Dress Shop update. Within a few weeks at worst, though.

assoon as there is time to rewrite the code and test it

Thanks for the update on this Bob.
