My favorite era for clothing is the 1950s, with dresses, rompers and cute PJs. A pattern I’d really like to see and would buy is what Princess Charlotte wears, a short full dress with smocking across the chest, short puffy sleeves, a Peter Pan collar and a sash from the sides tied in a bow in back.

EILEEN

December 28, 2017

While various designs from many different eras catch my attention, I’m more inclined towards what is currently trendy. I am amazed at the wide range of eras and clothing types offered through Pixie Faire. What I would like to see are more patterns for creative designs and techniques to add to the clothing such as appliques, embroidery, smocking, quilting, creative uses for various trims, etc. After all, it’s the little details that turn something ordinary into something extraordinary.

Peggy Graham

December 28, 2017

My favorite for clothing would be the mid 1800’s. I love the crinolines and hoop skirts. There are so many styles through the centuries that look refined and feminine.

My favorite era of clothing and fashion is modern. I sew for my niece-she has an AG Samantha and Kit doll. She seems to prefer today’s fashions. I am having fun sewing for her! I’d love to see a pattern for a wrap dress/skirt (which is actually retro but could be modern depending on fabric/embellishments).

Adrienne Anderson

December 28, 2017

My favorite era is the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s with the emphasis on the 60’s. I would like to see more patterns from the 60’s like Mod dresses and the influence of the British style as the result of the Beatles.
