Past designs constructed from patterns

This is but a small sampling of the work of I've done using patterns. In some cases I've followed the pattern strictly, and in others I've made minor alterations.



I constructed the skirt in this picture from a pattern. The shirt was purchased.



This "cheongsam" or "qui pao" is common amongst Chinese formals to this day. Constructed from a pattern.



Here is a Christmas gown that I constructed from a pattern. But to be honest, this picture truly does not do it justice.



This is a historically accurate 1860's ball gown, constructed from a pattern. There were minor alterations done to the bodice; however, at the time I didn't know as much about fitting and altering as I do now, so the bodice of this dress is definitely lackluster. I promise that currently I'm much more experienced with such things and can do a high-quality, professional fitting and alteration.

This is not all I have done from patterns, but they are the only ones I have photographs of.
