The pattern instructions are written in English, German, Dutch, and French and seam allowances are not included on the patterns. You may order individual patterns for $7 each or in a group of three for $18 with free world-wide shipping. The individual Image Wear patterns seem to be a fairly recent venture because they only have nine patterns: six for women and three for girls.

You can order the patterns and/or magazines from their website or order the magazine in North America from online store Sew Baby. Each magazine includes 16 patterns and cost $7. If you bought three envelope patterns and one magazine it would only cost you $24 plus $3.95 shipping for the magazine, as the patterns are always shipped free. Most unbelievably, their stated shipping time from the Netherlands to US/Canada is only 4-8 days!
So, what do you think of them?

Oooh, thanks for this info.
Wow, never heard of this! Thanks for the links!
love that blouse, thanks for sharing!
I really like them and have been on their mailing list for about a year but i haven't bought any yet. I missed the special they had at Christmas for free shipping and patterns at 2.99 euro! I was so annoyed with myself - the money also went to the charity they supported - double annoyed! I like them all but I particularly like the top.
I just ordered their latest issue and it's coming with a free pattern. What a deal, huh? I can't wait until it shows up. My goal is to make at least one garment soon after it shows up just to give them a try... then I'll post a blog entry. The few reviews on PatternReview.com seem to say the directions aren't the best but the patterns are pretty good. We'll see! Do yo have any?
I have made a jacket from one of the magazines and have some of the patterns shown above, which I have not made. Like Burda the instructions are translated and aren't always clear. The jacket I made was very closely fitted, in other words it had less ease than similar Burda and Vogue patterns. Now I will check finished pattern measurements before cutting them out. Their website has links to bloggers' reviews of their patterns. I found the reviews very helpful.
Lots of great information, thank you!
Great work! Thank you for the information.
