No options for different sizes for clothes. I guess the instructions are for soley her size whatever

This does not have sizes for the clothing....does not give the size of the clothing the instructions are for. No adjustment info or anything. Only gives u instructions no size for the clothing you're making. Who would make a garment for any random size...not well thought out...nor considerate of the reader.
