Generally, when pattern companies replicate a particular costume, they make it slightly off the mark from the original. I think it's so they can avoid paying the actual designer or company for using their copyrighted design. If you want proof, just look at the myraid patterns for "Lord of the Rings" costumes. Not one of the major companies has got one right yet...
...for the housewife with WAY too much time on her hands.
"Noah, someday we'll talk again. But there's things we'll never say. That sorrow deep inside you. It inside me, too. And it never go away. You be okay. You'll learn how to lose things..."
It was probably the same drunk, pill popping women who sew them that designed 'em.

Everything looks better when you use the right material
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

Matt_G, I resent those comments. My mother sews, and she does not have too much time on her hands nor is she a pill-popping woman. She is actually a very strong woman, and when she and my father had just gotten married and starting having children, they had very little money, so she made clothes out of necessity.
I'm with brdwaybaby17. Sewing happens to be a hobby of mine. I enjoy making costumes for myself and friends. Not everyone who sews is a cabin-fevered housewife with a drinking problem, you know. And for the record, I think the pattern is pretty accurate. Just ignore view A and the hellatious fabric in the picture.
