I like to look at patterns to see how the clothes get their shape and how they are sewn together. It can start to see how a certain shape produces a specific result. That said, Nani Iro's patterns are generally one page and leave a lot of steps un-illustrated which, unless you can read japanese, means you have to "fill in the blanks" so to speak.
There are no full sized patterns, so you have to have a lot of time to draw out a full-sized pattern based on take-off points. You also need knowledge of basic garment construction and be able to follow schematics. I think I'd brave it for those cute little bloomers, but I'd hardly have the patience for a few of the dresses (maybe since they are really really cute...).
