Choosing and Altering Patterns
Finding the right pattern to make a costume is important. Does it look right for the era or character? Is it my right size?
Good news is there is a lot of resources online and you don't have to go to the craft store to find the right one, only to buy it. Even if it's not completely right you can also alter it. This is a must when you're on the too short or too tall spectrum.
Patterns are not meant to be custom to you, but to cover a wide range of people. Please remember to make it to your size you'll have to learn to alter it. Please use the resources below to find your patterns and alter them.
Also note that there is a lot more pattern companies out there, but I'm recommending my favorites and ones I feel you should know.
