Really disappointing that the original designers who spent time, effort, money and lifeblood creating these beautiful patterns/creations/businesses/supreme customer service not only are not getting credit for their designs which are all being copied HERE but their hard work is being passed off as someone else's...not cool. We are very loyal to our friends, authentic vendors and members on YT and I think people who imitate others hard work will find that we won't support them...sad that someone would think we wouldn't find out who these designs belong to???(

Well girls I order a lot of dresses... and believe me they are all the same.. how many ways can you make a dog dress...it does not take a lot.. especially when you are taking sewing lessons a few times a week..Patterns are few and far between as I have been with people that look for them..so choices are slim...

I certainly hope this thread does not turn into a bashing thread..

As for material... Joanne fabric has them all.. so no matter where you live they have the same material...

I think if you buy dresses.. take a good look.. velcro around the neck and waist and a top part and a bottom part.. and so so many people now do matching bows..

Ya know what .... there is no one here on these forums that were are an original designer... and I am sure that the companys that began making dog clothing could attest to that...

I think picking people apart is not the way to go in life.. not for the person making this fuss... nor the person's sewing..

Well I was just about to comment on the pretty purple harness...now who's is that? I hadn't seen it but whoever's it is, it is pretty.

Thanks Anne! My thoughts exactly. I'm not sure what the whole story is here but I know that Cory is a sweet heart and I hate to see this thread start ripping her apart. I was one of those people encouraging her when she first started taking sewing classes and I know I'm not the only one.....

Connie stated in a thread that she gave a pattern to a friend who was supposed to only make dresses for her dogs. Then she turned around and created a wesbite. I think everyone assumes it is Cory. Maybe Connie can clairfy if this is not the case. I am sure someone like Connie would argue with anyone saying her designs are not original. I have dresses from 4 different people on this site and they are all unique and different, so I must disagree. So to the person (who ever it is) that took Connie's pattern, that is just wrong. If it is not Cory, an apology is in order.

its one thing to see a dress online and try to make something similar but its a whole different story when a friend shows you every detail and secret of how she makes dresses for her own business, and then you take those very same patterns, instructions, and secrets to make your own dress business and pass it off as your own without the consent of said friend.

I see what you're saying Anne! I was thinking the same thing...I mean, surely some same patterns, designs will cross in the doggy clothes making business but then again I wasn't sure. Maybe the uniqueness is in the stitch, maybe stitching a certain way, a pleat here, a pleat there, but I can see how a lot of the "designs" and "patterns" may cross.

I do see department stores do the same thing....same styles come out each season, different stores, differents prices? I know sometimes it comes down to quality. I can see both sides though, feeling ripped of something you feel you've made your own. I'd support everyone if I could.

Well you can believe what you want. I will believe that if you are a seller and get upset with some one making dresses when there is so many people buying...there is a problem..

Or is it the fact they were friends more then it is about the website or her making clothing.
To me and some it sounds like a friend was upset that another friend is selling clothing now and worried about her business.. which she should not be at all...
I guess it is a good way to strum up business tho... not the way I would like to see however...
I hardly come on here anymore.. for the drama is far too much all the time.. It seems people want the business part of this site to get more attention then what this site was meant to be...
I know both of these girls.. and I do not think this should be allowed..the snide sarcastic remarks does not bring the best out of people for sure..

I have seen threads where a seller will buy the same material..and a seller get upset,.. well fabric stores are open to any one who sews and wants to buy material..

I think no matter who it is if they have faith in their customers and secure in what they do.. No one has to belittle another..

i've recently created a website and wondered if you'd all mind taking a look at it and let me know what you think? I'm just starting out and will be adding more and more items and everything is custom made.

i really appreciate all of your opinions. Thanks so much. Cory

Nor was I sarcastic...

Very insensitive. There is no comparison between the two. She gave a person a pattern with the understanding she was going to SEW for HER pets. Do you honestly think she would have given it to her if she said,
"I want to learn how to make your doggie dresses and start a website, oh and go on YT?" The problem here is that they were friends, and 1 friend betrayed the other, one friend lied about her intentions. Dog dresses aside that is the fact.

But, that is JMO.
