In this thread I'll be posting updates on upcoming pattern tests.
The patterns have been developed using Leko software and are made to measure for your personal size measurements.

As someone who doesn't really wear skirts or dresses all that much, I hope someday there will be pants/tops patterns available for testing too!

Ooh, suggestions... this is kind of a general request, but maybe less fitted shirts? I mean, many of the current Leko library patterns are super fitted and feminine (for example, 4439, which is actually one of my favorites), but the current fashion trend seems to be towards somewhat looser tops. So maybe it's time to add some updated versions of the classics -- like, a buttondown shirt in a loose style like this? https://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/AllProducts/PRDOVR~E5723/E5723.jsp Or a floppy stretch shirt like this: http://www.loft.com/drapey-swing-tee/399887 .
Maybe this is on the to-do list already, though!
Edited to add: welp, that Madewell link got borked. Any chance of an "edit html" button in the forums so that things like that could be fixed by the poster? ;)

Ooh, I also have another question -- out of curiosity, are these patterns (and the exclusive patterns) designed by you personally rather than by the people over at leko-mail.ru? Or are they designed by the same people who do leko-mail.ru and are just exclusive to Lekala to sell? I mean, obviously you're both using the Leko software, I'm just noticing that the Russian site doesn't have all those fancy skirts. :)

Oh, I could just ask the guys to read such links as well, should be easier to fix...
I guess the main reason why we do fitted things is that we can actually make them fitting, but I see the point :) We have a vast vast list of ideas, and are checking algorithms to dive into more complex garments. I'll just put it on the list as well then!

Well, at the moment this is sort of a joint work :)
These patterns are exclusive on Lekala.co, built on the basis of Leko algorithms and solutions and under strict supervision of the head office and an independent Leko adviser.
We are also trying to include more english text, mark more lines like center front, center back, hip level, add more notches etc.
We shall continue working in that direction, as the choices of audiences are different if we compare the voting results in Moscow and here, so probably it is time to diversify!
