I have Dress Shop with almost all of the available patterns. Would it be cost effective and beneficial for me to invest in the MPD standard? I do have the free version that I can convert my current DS patterns to once I get a decent fit again. I really am on the fence with this and would appreciate some advice.----Denise Stahl

I would definitely try importing your patterns from Dress Shop into the free version of MPD. Then try them out - try getting your new fit in MPD. I personally found it much easier to get the fit I wanted in MPD, and there's a lot you can do with the free version before buying. The patterns imported from Dress Shop work great, and it's lots of fun!
I think once you try it you'll know if you want to buy MPD Standard or not. (or spend your money on more patterns, which is what I did! What fun!)

I have both in pro version,I use mostly MPD though since it came out,the fit is absolutely great.
