I don’t have Boutique 4 but have used Boutique 3 for several years. I find the sleeves too big on the top and too tight at the elbow down. And I usually use a collar from a purchased pattern for the lapel blouse because the Boutique pattern is too wierd. In other words, I usually have to re-do the whole pattern and always have to make a muslin. I also have Living Soft Dress Designer and have had more luck with that, but neither is set up so you can just put in your measurements and make a garment. I have to make a muslin with both of them.

I have Dress Shop 7 from Livingsoft NW, which I think is the same company that makes your Dress Designer (??)
Anyway, with the DS I can input specific measurements, and can change them as needed. So I'm a bit confounded if what you have is the same as what I have, because Livingsoft has a forum on their website too to ask all these questions.
Have you tried that yet?

I have never heard of Living Soft Dress designer but I am going to check it out. I will keep plugging away at PMB4, I do think it shows some promise but holy moses, what it takes to get anywhere with it! Thanks for the info.
