4 out of 5 starsCorset cover turned out great! Instructions were a little bare-bones, but the pattern was incredibly simple and not difficult to figure out at all, having sewn a few other Edwardian underthings at this point. Will definitely buy patterns from them again!

5 out of 5 starsDress arrived and didn't fit due to my own error on measurements. Communication was very fast, Kristen made significant alterations free of charge even though it was my fault to begin with, AND threw in a free reticule made from the spare fabric! Couldn't be happier, and will definitely be buying from here again!

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!

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!

Owner, Creator
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!
