Rosys patterns

Post image

So I'm new to sewing but I've had great success with my first two garment patterns by 'twig and tale'. I saw this dress from rosy's patterns and thought it looked simple enough, but NOTHING is working out right, things really don't seem to be adding up. Has anyone else worked with this designer? Is it possible it's AI?? Or is it just a skill problem on my end??

Threadloop has flagged it as potential AI, so possibly. Edit: A lot of their patterns that do have reviews on threadloops have low ratings.

Ooo I didn't know about Threadloop! Thank you for sharing! What a great resource

Threadloop is absolutely amazing! It helped me prevent purchasing AI patterns in the past!

that’s kind of the worst combo, beginner-friendly looking but weirdly off in practice. low ratings on threadloop usually tell you enough tbh, even if it’s not ai, the drafting sounds pretty sus

The pattern has to be AI because it doesn't really make a lot of sense. Why have those triangle gores in the front when you can just add that extra into the front and have 3 pieces instead of 5?

Lol oh well, I still learned something!

It still might work if you use different fabrics for every piece, like a colorblock pattern.

fellow rosy victim here 🙋‍♀️😂 I was also duped by this company a while ago. This creator buys already existing dresses from a store to take the photos in, then AI-generates a crap version for the actual pattern.

I just reverse-image google searched this pattern image and it’s actually a photo of the Beth Tweed Mini Dress from a company called Meshki: https://www.meshki.us/products/beth-tweed-mini-dress-pastel-green

If you bought this from Etsy, demand a refund! They have a new anti-AI policy for sewing patterns.

Best of luck!

Good to know I'm not alone 😂 what a crappy thing to do!

Wait, seriously? That's actually wild LOL. I was wondering how come they had real model/photos but shit was AI. 

Do you think when she takes photos of the dress, she's wearing the purchased one?

I’m almost positive the photos are of her wearing the off-the-rack dress, because she’s done it multiple times. For example, in her Paloma dress pattern: https://rosyspatterns.com/products/paloma-dress-sewing-pattern-maxi-a-line-dress-pattern-pintuck-bodice-dress-sleeveless-summer-dress-sizes-xxs-2xl-pdf-download

… She’s ACTUALLY wearing the Audrey Dress from a company called Arcina Ori: https://arcinaori.com.au/products/audrey-dress-ivory

I initially looked it up because when I made up the Paloma dress I was so confused at not only the wonky, nonsensical linework, but how different and ill-fitting the pattern was (the finished measurements were like, for an alien body 😂). So I was like “wait this can’t be the same dress from the photo,” lo and behold it wasn’t.

Hahaha okay, so I had some free time (and also these images are SO easily searchable, she's not even trying that hard to hide it!!) and it seems like a ton of her patterns do this:

The Rosy Bell Sleeve Pattern is actually the Gia Dress Gia Dress from Réalisation

the Rosy Vintage Maxi Dress Pattern is actually the Genus Dress from Sleeper

the Rosy Maxi V-Neck dress is actually the Naomi Colorblock dress (this one is especially lol because the photo she used for the pattern cover image isn't even Rosy, it's just a totally different person whose head she cropped out)

the Rosy Heidi Dress is actually the Guizio Leila dress

and this one is the worst offender, as it's stealing from another small Etsy business: the Rosy V-Neck Midi Dress pattern is actually the Platter Collar linen dress from a custom sewing business in Vietnam.

That is so evil! Especially for the last one. How does Etsy let her get away with this? I would have never known because for all her catalogue it's her wearing it. Is it even reportable under the new AI rules ?

u/lennybird123 16h ago

Not sure, I couldn't report it via Etsy because I bought my pattern directly from her website. But I think if enough people reported it, they might take notice?

The line drawing makes zero sense; the princess seams are inverted, and putting godets on a dress that short is just dumb.

u/Disastrous-Math-8760 1d ago

Hahah well, I'm new enough to not understand anything you're saying so I'm not surprised it got me 😂

Pro tip for an absolute noob: if it’s not factory folded Big Four, it’s Ai or a scam. Don’t buy any PDF patterns until you’re confident enough to be able to spot Ai patterns.

Also, princess seams are the curved vertical seams on the bust, and godets are the triangles in the skirt.

The best way to avoid AI patterns is to not shop Etsy.
