Hi, I'm Paola, a historical costume maker, antique garments collector and corset maker specializing in mid-Victorian and Belle Époque fashion.

Through research of original garments, museum pieces, and period sources, I create three types of patterns: digitized originals from my antique collection, historically-inspired designs, and modern/fantasy interpretations.

Each pattern includes detailed instructions and historical documentation, available in multiple formats including A4, US Letter, A0, A1.
