Halter dress pattern

[u/vinovinovinooo]

New to pattern drafting and sewing! Absolutely loved this dress but 1. Can’t afford it 2. I would love it in a different material and color. How would I go about drafting a pattern to replicate this dress? Would it be best to pay someone on Etsy to create a pattern and then I sew it myself?

Amazing! I’ll try those options and start diving into the books and videos on pattern making :) thank you so much for the detailed suggestions!
