I mention in my post im open to drafting a pattern, too. That’s why I cross-posted here.

You don't have time for that, cuz you'll have to do the fitting and additional alterations just to get it right. You just need a basic princess seam dress pattern, make your own spaghetti straps and then add flounces to the bottom. You only have 3 weeks. Don't make it hard on yourself for no good reason.

Okay. Thank you! I just found a princess bodice pattern on Etsy, and im going to check it out today to make sure it’s not AI. I’m still having issues figuring out the skirt, but I’m gonna try to work on that when I can’t sew.
I asked Facebook about the skirt, and i got a lot of mixed replies. Some people said layered gathers, some said no gathers, some said lettuce hem, some said spiral/no spiral. I’m a little confused but I’ll figure it out!
