I'm curious I some pattern companies more in the costuming category. I'm familiar with the main companies and a few others, but where to you go for the more costume style patterns?
I often use Simplicity. They do have a costume section and tend to put out more in fall. Butterick & McCalls also both have pretty good historical sections. after that It would really depend on what you are looking for. for example if you are doing a cosplay reaching out to other cosplayers who have made the same garment to ask where thy got their pattern and/or do they sell the pattern. big names like Yaya Han and Fireflypath often contract out with commercial pattern companies to sell their stuff. other people like Kamui cosplay have their own website with patterns available. For historical garments finding a local reenactment group can be really helpful. don't be afraid to buy multiple patterns and piece it together. like if you want the silhouette of one garment with the sleeves of another. I hope this answers your question. feel free to reach out again and good luck!
@@foxandottercreations You've given me a few places to look. The only companies that knew besides McCalls and Simpliciry (as well as their other lines) was Reconstructing history and Folkwear.
