Hi there Suzie Qzie ... what a cute name.

If you want to make your costumes ... if you want the baby doll style, look for vintage nightgowns or vintage maternity patterns!

If you want the frilly crinoline style, look for square dance dress patterns. I use pieces from about 6 different patterns.

There is also a Ringling Brothers pattern but it's very hard to find.

I have bought from Mooseburger and also Betty Cash, and they are both excellent. I like to make my own, though, because I like lots of variety, and I also love to sew.

A good place to buy patterns (and fabric) ... check ebay ... eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

Also, watch for sales in sewing places for when the patterns go on sale. Otherwise they can run pricey ... around $10 - $15 per pattern, but when they are on sale, sometimes you can get them for as little as 99 cents.
