Subject: Bodice patterns Author: Jill [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:23:44 01/03/11 Mon Author Host/IP: adsl-75-37-163-16.dsl.sndg02.sbcglobal.net/75.37.163.16 Hi! I'm going to put my 15 month old daughter in her first pageant in a few months. But since we've never done it, it's sort of a trial run for us. My husband only agreed if I promised to keep costs down as much as possible. I'm a decent seamstress and I know how to make the cupcake skirts which is what she will be wearing. But I can't find any patterns online for the top. I'd like to find one that is somewhat easy to sew and that I can add lots of beading and lace too. I'd also really like it to be the halter style. Please help! The pageant is in a couple months! :) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Pageant patterns Author: Lisa J [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:22:48 01/04/11 Tue Author Host/IP: 184-12-160-181.dr02.kgmn.az.frontiernet.net/184.12.160.181 Try ebay..there are a couple of people that are selling patterns. I think Christy Merchant does and My Pageant Kid. However be prepared to alter a "stock" pattern from My Pageant Kid. I have bought many patterns and the entire CD of collections of patterns. I am very pleased with them, however I have had to re-design the halter tops a bit. They seemed to all gap in the middle more than I would like to see. I think a couple of other shell designers use her patterns too...and I have had to re-design those same tops. If you can't find a "PAGEANT" pattern. Adapt a McCalls or Simplicity pattern you like. I do a lot of pageant wear and costuming. I have a huge collection of stock patterns from the major and not so major brands, and refer to them often when designing or re-designing something. I can make patterns too...but it's so much faster and easier to take a stock layout and build off of that. Hope that helped. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
