Hi there,

We have posted Dress Shop version 9.09 today. This is a house-keeping update, with minor fixes or requests from users, but no new patterns or products. So, if the list below has something you care about, you should get the update. Otherwise, wait for the next one.

Changes in this build are:

1. The lines for the pocket seam and cut lines for an inset pocket with princess line pants did not extend completely to the outseam.

2. The center back dart option was added to the Princess Designer dialog so this dart can be used with princess or panel patterns which do not enable the normal dart dialog.

3. All blouses now include more length options.

4. You can now change the yoke depth and waistband width on the Denim Coat.

5. A "Preview Default Patterns" option was added to the File menu to permit review of un-owned patterns.

6. The Pea Coat default pattern was corrected.

7. The Bust Radius measurement was not offered in the complete chart for women's charts begun in the standard measurement dialog.

8. The feature to scale the Abby Rose doll patterns to any size was not working properly. Doll clothing would scale, but the doll pattern itself was not. This should now be fixed.

9. The Hat and Purse Designer tool would not draft properly with doll charts. It should now.

10. "Size - Load Doll Chart" was not opening to the proper folder where the doll charts were located.

Hello all,

Several customers have had difficulties printing patterns using the most recent update. While we look into this and resolve whatever is going on, I have pulled that update and replaced the prior one. If you have installed Dress Shop version 9.09 and cannot print patterns, please uninstall, get a fresh copy of the last version, and reinstall that.

I will have a proper fix as soon as I can and do apologize for any difficulties this latest update may have caused...

Dress Shop update version 9.09 was reposted. I am very sorry it was not announced sooner - a consequence of an unusually chaotic summer schedule here. But, it is on the Livingsoft download page now.
