### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great historical pattern
*by K***R on January 12, 2026*

It is exactly the pattern I need for a costume this summer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfectly preserved pattern
*by K***N on August 18, 2025*

Pattern was just like new! None of the pattern tissue was cut (or even opened by the looks of it), just as described. Would happily purchase from this seller again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Historically accurate/got lots of compliments
*by M***5 on May 25, 2025*

I highly recommend making a muslin version before cutting your fabric and lining. Make sure to mark the sleeves and bodice very well. I added more boning to the bodice to make it like a corset
