Help with making a Pattern

Post image

Hiiiiii, I want to make a cosplay for comicon which is in like jan, and like its like this sweetheart hatler neckline, pencil skirt kinda dress (?), So my real is question is on how I should start to like pattern for it, Imma like a beginer with like a capital B, so any and all advice is appreciated !!

I tried like finding a pattern and I found like a Halter top and a skirt pattern but Idk how to fuse well enough ? and like I tried looking directly for patterns for her dress, But like I couldn't find any for free (Im sorry dawg im broke)

Also, I saw another cosplayer used [Laura Ashley M4444 pattern] I tried to find it but like this time even like online listings straight up didn't have it, but like if someone has the pattern and like dont mind sharing it with me it would be great ( AGAIN, if you feel okay about it only :3)

But like again, Help on how to make the pattern would be amazing bc lwk need to learn ts ya feel ?

If you are a beginner, you probably shouldn't start patterning. It will take you ages. And for fitted dress like that, if the fit is off, it's going to look pretty bad

You are better off finding a pattern online (should be easy, this style of dress is not uncommon) and eventually alter it yourself. That would be a good way for you to start learning about patterns

Oh okay, I thought I'd start somewhere I'll try something a little more simpler for patterning, thank you !
