New App to Download & Couture Forum

New App on iOS and Android
 
The Couture Pattern Museum is preparing our vision to be able to easily communicate to members on every level by offering our latest Couture Pattern Museum App, available on iOS and Android devices. We are working on creating a library of haute couture courses for our founding members that will include downloadable patterns. The App will be able to provide a seamless experience for members of all paying levels, including for free Couture Forum site members who wish to learn and be inspired by participating in the exciting Forum.

Join the Community
 
We are striving to become a museum without walls, where the barriers of a physical building don't limit us. Although we can't all gather in one place at our headquarters in Santa Barbara, we have created a digital space where you can participate in discussions on couture sewing. The aim of this forum is to encourage lifelong learning and to keep you curious and inspired about the enchanting world of couture dressmaking. You are welcome to share your thoughts, questions, or anything related to couture, sewing, or patterns. Join the Couture Forum community by becoming a member of the site. Think of it like a Facebook or social media group within the website of the Couture Pattern Museum. Your participation and contribution are valued, so don't hesitate to get involved!
  
By becoming a free site member, you will gain access to the Couture Forum and database where you can customize your username and profile information. The Couture database is filled with numerous designs for you to draw inspiration from or conduct research.
 
Blog readers, on the other hand, will have access to the Forum and Atelier blog where they can learn about the intricacies and behind-the-scenes details of creating vintage haute couture gowns for upcoming museum exhibitions for only $5.

You will also become a part of the prestigious Founders Circle, where you can engage in valuable haute couture discussions about sewing, patterns, and future plans. As a Founding Member, you will be the first to know about all the latest developments at the museum and will receive complimentary access to all future courses.
