elfprincess Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I ordered seven of these patterns from the USA. They cost $5 each. I got scalped on import duty (!) which turned out to be more than double the postage costs - but the outfits are adorable. All feature Edwardian/1920s dresses/costumes/ underpinnings - even a 1920s wedding dress and veil. They're quite intricate in places and will be a challenge to get right but the end result will be worth the effort. Anyone else tried these sewing patterns? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debra from Olde Cape Cod Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Wow! Very nice! Thanks for the links! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rackey Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I looked at the children's outfits, and they were so sweet. Do you have special dolls you are making these outfits for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creamcheese Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thank you so much for sharing the links! I bookmarked them and just glanced at a few of their items and they are all so lovely! I hope someday to be able to get involved with miniature dolls and dressmaking! Thanks again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 What site? i cant see any link to a site? The site Selkie posted the link to. We have McAfee anti-virus on our computer and it will not let us open some sites; I still haven't figured out why; but being the ccynic I am I could suspect it might have something to do with some sort of fee schedule...

KathieB Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Umm . .. Holly, you posted that you couldn't open the site (post #2) BEFORE Selkie posted the link (post #5). Now THAT's a great anti-virus program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 No, I Googled the site when I read Pauline's post and got the nasty block from McAfee. Then, when Selkie posted her link, I tried it again, with the same results. Sorry for the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfprincess Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Just got back here. I didn't provide a link because I bought the patterns from a U.S. site and forgot the name LOL. It wasn't the maker's site. They're gorgeous patterns and cover a few centuries. I plan to sew beautiful teensy weensy things for my currently bare-nekkid Heidi Ott couple! LOL. The title should read 1/12th scale of course - my typo. I will adapt the patterns to make clothes for my downsized dolls, too. They mustn't be left out!
