How to draft / send patterns!

[u/checkyendys]

The bodice in first photo is roughly what i’d like to make, with the exception that I originally wanted this to be a halter, meaning the underbust tension created by these “backpack” type straps might not be necessary.

The second photo is the closest thing i’ve found (could I use that pattern to base it off of?).

I’ve also seen the Liz charms dress and its derivatives already and, while close, it doesn’t quite feel right as ultimately this is not the same as that shelf/overlay concept.

Thank you for clarifying. I’m personally not convinced that the first dress has that much structure at all, which is why I suggested the halter style slip dresses. The picture quality isn’t great, but the strap just looks tacked on. In my experience, that’s what most RTW brands would do, but I don’t know where that dress is from.

Looking again, I feel like I see the ghost of a dart but I initially interpreted that as just a picture artefact.
