Looking for a sewing pattern and reading reviews people left on an Etsy shop's page.

Why, just WHY do people give 5/5 stars and then write: "Haven't tried it yet, but looks good" or "Can't wait to try this", "I love it, can't wait to start my project" etc.

That's totally useless! Have they actually tried the pattern / made the garment? Did it work? Were there any problems? What about the instructions? Are they happy with the result? (Bonus if there's a photo of their finished garment.) These are the things I need to know.

Gnarghhh (grumpy dressmaker sounds).

@jtheseamstress probably because Etsy, like many services, only gives the opportunity to rate immediately after the item is recieved.

@Rivikah @NatureMC Could be, but I've encountered this phenomenon not only on Etsy... 🤔 I've bought a pattern on Etsy in November and another in mid-January and the option to leave a review is still open for both. Maybe it's different for different Etsy shops?
