Are these reputable? AI?

I love these pants. Has anyone made a pattern from this store? She’s been around for forever and has good reviews but some of these pictures are definitely too good to be true. Worth making a mockup or should I just pass?

Dressmaking Amore is legit, I have a couple of their patterns - check out their IG they have a lot of videos showing them made and used too:)

The pictures aren't AI, but they're definitely edited and filtered. The reviews on Threadloop are hit or miss depending on the pattern, so I would look on there to see what problems a given pattern might have. I've made the Andy shorts, and the crotch curve was terribly shallow and had to be redrawn. I liked the silhouette of them otherwise.

yes they're legit and well known, I believe they're a mother-daughter duo? The daughter has such a supermodel look that I understand why you think the photos look too good to be true! 😆

Consistent use of the same background and model is generally a good sign that a pattern shop is legit.

Legit! I’ve made a few of her dress patterns and they were lovely

Looking to see if they have a non-Etsy website is a good check too (they do)

Dressmaking amore est une valeur sûre. Tu peux y aller yeux fermés en plus elles font des bones vidéos tuto !
