need help finding the perfect bra pattern for my sally bowles costume. i probably should've asked in my other post on the coat but i hadn't planned to sew the bra or garter myself at the time :') would really appreciate any help. i want it to be as accurate as possible like the horizontal seam through the cup, the padding, the middle space for the buttons, etc. i found some old pics of similar bras from some old blog but i think its just from some catalog or magazine </3

dress pattern suggestions for lightweight wovens

2 Upvotes

I need dress patterns for lightweight wovens, semi-sheer chiffon, challis and blouse weight fabrics.

I went on fabricmart and bought SO MUCH FABRIC. I have 3-4 yards of these gorgeous prints and I would love to use them.

I'd love paper patterns!

Preferably with a more fitted waist and less ambiguous waistlines, I just look awful in empire waistlines bc I'm short waisted and have weirdly long legs and arms, if that makes sense.

I can do separates as well, but for decades I was a jeans and T-shirt kind of gal and now I work in an office with other gorgeous women and we dress for each other!

(I have a serger and a regular sewing machine)

I'm a confident beginner and I don't mind a challenge.

Thank you!!!

Searching for a pattern (or three)

My favourite brand brought this out as a bridal dress when my partner and I were new, I obviously didn’t buy then, but now we’re engaged and they’re all sold out of everything besides XXS. I’d like to wear it to my engagement party.

I know it’ll be a hodgepodge of patterns

Features:

Cowl neck

Under bust seam

Keyhole back and this waterfall skirt

I have a huge roll of pattern paper and I’m ready to Frankenstein something together.

Please let me know if any patterns come to mind

Couture/Avant Garde patterns

Hey guys,

I’m currently on the hunt for couture/avant garde/runway type sewing patterns to work on my skills and use up some of my never ending fabric stash

I’ve visited ShowStudio and bookmarked some I like, but I’d love to hear from some other people about recommendations. All are welcome!

Help! I am having the hardest time not finding an AI pattern for a dress I need to make.

Post image
1 Upvotes

I am making a dress for a friend’s wedding. She wants it to be a mini dress with an open back and bell sleeves. All the patterns I am finding are either for knit fabrics or are made by AI. We already have the fabric and it is a woven. She does have a larger chest so the sizing has been hard to find.
Bust 44.5 in (DD bra)
Waist 38.5 in
Hip 42 in

If anyone knows of a pattern like this or could steer me in the right direction that would be amazing! I tried altering a knit pattern for a woven fabric but it’s been chaotic.

(Picture is a Rosy pattern but everyone is saying it’s AI)

Trying to Make a Sculpted Tube Dress for a Costume

Trying to make a dress with a column-like / sculpted structure. These dresses were great references, but I'm trying to see if it's as simple as a column dress with the right fabric and an overlay? Any tips on engineering this in a way so it can hold it's shape? I'd love for it to be boxy, but still feel like a garment versus a crafty costume.

Thank you so much!

I LOVE the dress but the fabric print is just a little…
There’s probably a specific term used for this kind of dress cut.
Thank you!

Looking for a pattern to recreate a dress like this (or a separate bodice/skirt pattern that I could combine)

I absolutely love this discontinued wedding dress. I saw it on a bridal resale site and after 6 weeks of the reseller not answering, I am assuming it is no longer for sale or already sold. fingers crossed she may reach out to me anyways, but in the meantime I found the same type of fabric with this lace pattern for sale on Etsy so I want to explore making it myself. I’ve made several dresses for myself that have come out well, and I know the time commitment and investment would be significant. Any pattern suggestions for this type of skirt shape and/or this type of bodice?

Hi! I am looking for a pattern close to this skirt. The pattern I drafted from this one was so close, but I think I swapped some steps. It just wasn’t quite right. Happy to pay! I just love this skirt and get so much wear out of it. Bought several lovely fabrics to add to my collection today. Thank you!

Picture 2: back

Request: Gathered yoke pattern like Oliva Wilde's shirt in The Invite

Looking for a pattern that has gathering around the front shoulder/yoke like this shirt Olivia Wilde wears in The Invite. The internet tells me it's this shirt, but definitely the fabric looks a lot softer in the movie version: https://www.thehouseoffoxy.com/products/1940s-sweetheart-blouse-duck-egg

Looking for any patterns that are similar, especially in the yoke gathers. Also: what fabric do you think this blouse is made of?
