5 out of 5 starsI've wanted this pattern for a long time. I saw a picture of the finished piece several years ago, and wanted to make one for myself! Thanks!

5 out of 5 starsLETTELL YOU...this seller is top notch! I’ve been meaning to write this review for a long time, but life...
Anyway, I ordered masks before from this seller for my son & he LOVES his Miles Morales masks so much, I purchased more as the pandemic raged on.
My 2nd order was made, but not delivered, so after a few weeks, I reached out to the seller & she refunded the masks and immediately began making more.
I ordered multiple, but the seller discovered she only had enough fabric for 1 mask, so she made it & sent it to me...free of charge for the inconvenience!
That’s SUPERB customer service. THEN, out of the blue, the masks that had been lost in transit for a month, showed up! I notified the seller that they made it to me & she didn’t go back & charge!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND for both product & customer service!!! -

5 out of 5 starsThe work is beautiful. I ordered in muslin for a more opaque look and it's perfect. I shall now drift about my house as a Victorian ghost.

5 out of 5 starsIt's perfect. Just perfect. All the year's I've been a Living Historian for the Civil War and didn't know that this item even existed! Now my custom Corset has a proper home. Thank you for my gorgeous corset bag.
About BlackOrchidAtelier
Black Orchid Atelier creates one of a kind historical costumes, accessories and patterns.
Some would say the sewing was in my blood. My great grandfather was a tailor and my great grandmother a seamstress! My grandparents and parents instilled in us the love of history. Taking those two loves I realized I could make some of those beautiful gowns seen in museums and paintings. As a teacher I could surprise my students with a 'first' hand experience with some one of the era.
As an avid history lover and costumer, there's nothing like hearing the swish of crisp petticoats or seeing the curve of the waist in a well fitted gown.
Who doesn't want to feel like a princess at one point?
With every ensemble I attempt to create a one of a kind look and experience. No two ensembles are exactly alike.
I research used style options and provide those (extant pictures) to you my customer so your ensemble will be truly 'yours'.
As a at home mom; I have taken my love of history, sewing and pretty things and decided to offer my services to those on a budget and who want to experience a little bit of history. This allows me to enjoy my work and spend time with my daughter and son on my terms.
Thank you for visiting!
I can't wait to create your one of a kind historical costume or couture girls dress!

From a young age sewing fascinated me and I dabbled in small projects both at home and school. Soon I realized, that with my love of history I could MAKE historical clothing! As a history teacher my class loved it when a time traveler came to visit!
