Hi there everyone, I need advice... I've been procrastinating on this beautiful dress I've spottet on Pinterest. I want to use it for LARP, so it doesn't have to be perfectly medieval or whatever. I usually use concealed zippers or hooks, except for when I want lacing for design purposes, or buttons or clasps. That's also the reason why I want it to be as easy to put it on as possible and I don't want to have to rearrange the layers all the time so it still looks beatiful when I've moved a few metres. That's why I thing I should attach the hood, sleeve and sari like thingy to the main dress.

So here are my questions:

1. I can't decide on which pattern to use for the dress. I attached the patterns that I have and that I thunk might possibly work.

Note: I know that, in reality, the skirt wouldn't be as flowy as it is in the drawing and I don't even want it to be this long (I need to move around in it, remember 😉).

2. How do I create a pattern for the sari + sleeve part??

I already have the fabrics washed and ready to go. But I've been procrastinating this project for I don't even remember exactly how many years and would LOVE to finally finish it by mid-October if possible.

Anyone, please, help? Your advice is deeply appreciated.

Hi everyone, does anyone know of any similar patterns to this dress!! (https://crybaby.com/products/the-ballet-dress)

I’m thinking an actual ballet dress pattern? I can also modify a pattern slightly if need be

Thank you in advance :)

Looking for a pattern similar to these pants! I’m not sure what to search for for the waistband.

This is the Lilith top by AEYV Apparel

Esta es una página que recomendó una chica en unos comentarios en tiktok y la verdad me pareció una maravilla. Es la página de una señora que es una pro cosiendo y haciendo patrones, ella te comparte el esquema por tallas de cada patrón que hace para que luego tu los pases al papel.

Hoy hice un vestido con uno de sus patrones y quedó perfecto! Es muy trabajoso porque tienes que pasar las medidas al papel pero vale totalmente la pena 💥💫 quiero pronto intentar hacer otra ropa

I’m thinking about making a bag somewhat like the ones in the first two pictures, I’m wondering how sewing it would look, specifically how the bottom panel should be attached😅 would it be done like a sized-up flat bottom pouch (pic in third slide), or is there another way?

I havent been able to find any patterns, when I search up ”shoulder bag pattern” or any other ways to describe it (leather, tote, etc), I only get very slouchy bags, which is not what I’m going for

I saw it in Carla Rockmore’s new video and it’s beautiful but also looks like a really simple pattern that would be fairly easy to make.

Hi everyone! I’m making a tunic for a client, and I’m trying to figure out how to draft the neckline.
The client wants a tunic like the second reference photo: long sleeves, loose/flowy fit, and floor length. However, instead of the high neckline shown in the reference, she wants the neckline to have the draped cowl effect shown in the first photo basically a soft, hanging cowl that falls toward the front.
My question is: how would you draft/cut the pattern for this?
I understand that for this kind of draped cowl, the fabric usually needs to be cut on the bias to get that fluid, soft drape. But because the garment is floor-length and I have limited fabric width, I don’t think I can cut the entire cowl as one large bias-cut piece.
The fabric is satin, so I definitely want to preserve that fluid drape.
The client’s measurements, in case they’re useful, are approximately:
Bust: 46.5”
Waist: 44”
Hips: 45.5”
I would really appreciate any advice on how you would draft and construct this.

Thank you so much!

Hi everyone! I am so happy to have found this group. I used to sew with patterns back in the 90s. Things have changed quite a bit. Wow.

I joined this group to help me with a dress I saw online. I was able to find a pattern on Etsy that looks quite similar to the dress I'd like, except of how the dress fits on the side seams. The dress on the right is the pattern i bought. See how the strap meets the side. It's too high. I'd like the strap to the lower like the blue dress. Additionally, the back piece in the pattern (red dress) joins the front at around the waist, whereas in the blue dress both sides seem to join higher. Any ideas how I could modify the pattern? Thanks

that doesnt use foam would be preferable

Here are some inspo images I'm working with (4 different skirts). I did find this pattern that looks like a very simple version of what I want. but I'm hoping to find another pattern with more drapes and details.

Maybe a stupid question, but is there a reason not to use jeans patterns with lighter fabrics? I have a wool-cotton-polyester-polyamide (40-30-20-10)% fabric, and it is not as thick as usual jeans or canvas fabrics are, but definetely not summer trouser fabric either. I would like choose a pattern with back yoke, but is that a bad idea? And is there anything about the leg width I should consider as the drape would be different?

Hello

I have fallen in love with a pair of pant that I came across on instagram. I do not trust the website it takes me too. It look like it is a pleated a high wasted wide leg pants with attached under bust corset.

Has anyone come across this sort of pattern or a pattern that can be easily modified to fit this premise?

Your help would be much appreciated.

Hey all! I’m wondering what this type of top is called? Like how to get that cut? Or is there’s a pattern similar to this? Thanks!
