I made a pair of the knee-length breeches for my husband with this pattern. The result was very good, and the pattern does make up beautifully. However, the directions are not as complete as what comes with "regular" commercial patterns. Add the fact that this is an unusually constructed garment, and you could have serious difficulty.

I've done a fair amount advanced-level sewing and I've studied pattern drafting from scratch, worked as a professional seamstress, etc. If you have a lot of sewing experience, if you can handle the "advanced" Vogue patterns, and if you have good spatial thinking to fill in for the vague instructions, you will do fine. You'll just have to think it through a bit and re-read the instructions a few times, then you'll be able to do it. I do not recommend this pattern for a beginner due to the vague instructions. However, the construction of the garment itself is not too difficult, and the finished result is excellent.

I took this pattern and fabric to a professional Seamstress. The patterns instruction were poor at best, missing steps and very confusing. Don't waste your money on this patters. Authentic, maybe, usable, not.
