At your age, to have two patterns published with a major company is a huge feat! I’m so impressed with the expert thinking that went into making an affordable, yet stunningly beautiful costume. You’re amazing!

I really love how you made useful changes but then described how to do it if you want historical accuracy. You rock.

LOL! I know all about that whole changing into costume in a Ren Faire bathroom thing. So all those changes are much appreciated. Can't wait to finally get my hands on this one.

@AdirondackRuby 6 жыл бұрын

Changing in and out of regular old street clothes in a tiny tent is an adventure, so added fabric and volume just takes it to another level...basically doing anything in a tiny tent is near impossible. lol

I'm currently using your M7885 (modified a little) to make a 2015-edition Cinderella ballgown! The bodice is the PERFECT shape! I also purchased this one and will modify it to use for a Rapunzel costume! It's so helpful to have a historically accurate starting point (most commercial patterns designed for Disney costuming/cosplay are extremely subpar). Love love love it, and congrats on your success!

I cannot wait to start sewing but now I will have to choose which to do first :') I love the way you keep in mind how the costumes have to be put on without help and costs effective sewing! I have been in love with your costuming for years and creating a costume with your pattern is such a dream :) anyway! keep your awesome work going!

Oh great! I was just looking for a pattern from that period, and yours looks like just the thing. I especially appreciate that you for people like me, who can't sew without a pattern... But also can't leave one alone! Will be buying as soon at it surfaces in France, and thanks again!

Another published pattern! Way to go, Angela! I've been watching your channel for almost 2 years now, and it's been inspiring to see you pursue your passion and make it into a career. I think it's so cool that a well-known pattern company reached out to you and also that you get to model your own patterns in their magazines. I hope to buy the pattern for your 1890's costume soon - it's one of my favorite costumes that you've made! Keep up the amazing work!

Absolutely thrilled that your patterns for McCalls have been such a success. I'm a little old for costumes or cosplay (70) but I'm very interested in the history of clothing. I subscribe to your channel and am also a supporter on Patreon. I love the way you described your pattern and why you designed it the way you did. It's beautiful and looks amazing on you. It's a tribute to your talent that McCalls uses your own photos for the envelope fronts. That usually only happens with Parisian designers! You have a unusual colour sense (who'd have thought peach and burgundy could look so fabulous together?) and a brilliant design imagination. I'm sure you will have a unique and exciting career.

I saw this pattern in passing (during one of my long stints of online pattern shopping) and I thought this was a very sophisticated looking pattern. My biggest problem with some "costume" patterns is that they can look so hokey, cheap, or silly. I appreciate the level of care and authenticity that you brought to this design. I look forward to more of your work!

You are undoubtedly one of the most talented people on KZfaq. I can hem trousers and stitch on buttons, but that's the extent of my sewing skills, and seeing how you take a bunch of fabric and some other doodads and make gorgeous garments like that and your early 1900s shirtwaist/skirt that you posted earlier absolutely astound me. You explain everything so well and so clearly, even though I don't have the education/knowledge about fashion that you do, I can still understand what you're describing. I'd love to see you make one of Kate Winslet's costumes from Titanic - either the blue outfit she wears for the "I'm flying" scene or one of her dinner dresses.
