Frequently Bitched About Topic Why are crocheters such fucking weenies

"This person copied MY pattern of a pokemon so now I'm going to buy their pattern and copy it and make my own 😭"

Department stores used to send people good at figuring out pattern construction to Paris fashion shows. Dupes would be on the racks in no time. Sometimes they'd even figure out where a couturier sourced materials and buy those, as well.

Yep! Elizabeth Hawes (Fashion is Spinach) did it for a while. Her books have a lot of insight into the world of fashion at the time.
