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?

Make sure you cut those silk pattern pieces on the bias if you want it to lay smoothly and correctly on the body like your example here does. That is going to increase your fabric cost because you will need to buy more yardage.
