I've almost exclusively used the vintage/retro reprints for modern clothes (LOL, "modern"), but overall I think Vogue and Butterick have had the least weirdness. Just pay very close attention to the finished garment measurements for your supposed size, because that 3" of ease usually pops up! Yes, thank you, Butterick, I'd really love for my 50s-style dress with a fitted bodice to be 3" big in the bust. o.O
