The non-overlapping envelopes business is very tedious. I wish they didn't do it. I am fortunate that I am more-or-less (generally meaning a 1/2" seam rather than 5/8") a Big Four 12, despite measurements not being quite right, but at least consistent. This makes me even less inclined to spend a lot of money on patterns that do not work. Look, if you give the standard teeny bust and big hips, then it should not be too tight on my teeny hips and big on the bust.
I am so with you on Burda instructions, though I've never actually bought a pattern in an envelope as opposed to online or in the magazine. Oh! that they actually employed an English native-speaker translator...
