Is it the pattern or me?

So I'm new to sewing, and I already knew this pattern was going to need altered because I didn't want to use knit fabric, but woven.
The patterns are supposed to be printed on either A4 or letter-size paper, and I needed to choose "custom" and 100% settings on my printer to get the scale to match. Still, I had problems.
The shoulder hems don't match up. The pattern says that the hem allowance is 1/4-inch, but I don't see how - on the bust and arm band pieces, it's more like 2 mm, and on the skirt, it's 4 mm. (I measured)
When I cut out the paper pattern pieces and laid them on my doll, the arms were too long (about 1/4 inch or 1 cm), and the skirt was way to short - it ended at around the doll's knees.
The bodice parts don't line up: the back bodice part is shorter than the front.
The instructions are very clear. I'm going to try to remake the pattern starting with paper towels and adding darts around the bust line.
Cuz I'm new - I don't know if it's the pattern or me. But I struggled.

Perfect!

RAD will always be my favorite pattern designer! Printed at 80%, this pattern also fits the MSD sized Imomodoll Miko body. These blouses are so cute and turned out perfectly!

1/3 Essential Blouses

Love this

The Shirr Romance is probably my most favourite dress. I bought the pattern for several different sized dolls because I want all of them to have a dress like this. The instructions are easy and the pattern fits the dolls perfect.

Cute pattern. The ends of the darts on the blouse can look a bit awkward, but it fits very well.

1/3 Pear High Fashion

Perfect stash buster

I made the basic dress with high neck & short sleeves and it turned out lovely! The whole pattern fit nicely on a fat quarter with fabric to spare.

Instructions are so clear for newbie sewists with lots of detailed photographs. I’m looking forward to using more of my stash (all right, hoard!) of fabric to create more fun dresses and experiment with new styles

1/3: Level Up!

Lovely, easy pattern

This is probably my favorite sewing pattern. It’s so easy with clear instructions, and there are suggestions for both a curvy profile and a straight profile. I’ve made two so far, with a third cut out and ready to go. Highly recommend for beginners especially

Excellent patterns, easy to follow.

I have made several leggings and t shirts already. Love getting patterns via PDF so I can start sewing right away.

Great Pattern as Always

Wonderfully sized for Dollfie Dream Pretty! My girl (and her Angel Philia pal, after some adjustments) are going to get SO many cute jeans and t-shirts.

1/3 Teen Basics

Straightforward and fab!

I've not made this yet, but was surprised how easy it looks, and,as usual, the instructions and photos will make it very clear to sew.

Totally Rad!

Disclaimer: I don't have a printer so I had to put a piece of paper over my tablet and trace the pattern scaling up the PDF to 150%. It worked out surprisingly well!

This was my first time sewing something to completion in over decade and I DID IT! I sewed it (badly, but it was a great first effort for someone who barely knows how to sew). If I can do this, YOU definitely can do this!

The pattern pieces are very clear easy to follow and match up! I did stumble a little bit with all text directions. I wish there were photographs to go with the text, I had to look up a couple things up on Youtube to make sure I was doing them right! All and all awesome pattern for giant MH dolls. I'll definitely getting a ton of mileage out of these patterns, Thanks Requiem!
