Designers that sell single sized patterns at a very high price point

Like I get it, as an independent seller they have to charge more than the commercial companies, but charge $24CA for SINGLE sized sewing patterns?

WTF. I don’t know about the rest of you, but my weight can fluctuate , and while I have the skills to adjust patterns, it’s very annoying to do so

Also, when you don’t fit nearly into their specific size chart, only have one size option makes it hard to adjust the pattern to fit you best

Ok if anyone is interested, this is the pattern I love the look of but I refused to pay $24 for one size. Does anyone know of a similar pattern? I am an experienced seamstress. And yes I can probably draft my own pattern but I kinda don’t want too lol
