Copying Clothing
Clothing Item, Wardrobe Favorite,
Order
a copy of a favorite clothing item you already own.
Requirements for Copying
The
original item must have visible signs of use, but still be in a wearable condition and it must be clean. You must own the
original item and are not buying the copy for resale. The original will be taken apart to make a pattern. If desired, the
original can be re-assembled.
New clothing, or clothing items of any kind from pictures or photographs, will not be copied
under any circumstances. Please do not inquire about these items! In these instances we recommend beginning with a commercial
pattern similar to the item of interest.
What to Expect
It
is important to note that the copy will not be identical. The fabric, thread, buttons, snaps, zippers, etc., will be different.
Be aware that the age of the original contributes to its fit and ultimate comfort. The copy will seldom feel the same as the
original, even if it is exactly the same size.
As with many other items we fashion, the copy may cost more than one purchased ready-made
at retail. Although each situation is different, the difference in cost can be significant.
