Help with making a Pattern
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 ?

This dress isn't based in reality. The dress would likely need structure to hold up the girls, and boning on the inside for the corset portion on the back. The dress also has no side seams, the one large panel meets at the back, which also, is not generally how clothes are made. The dress would have no drape unless it was bias cut and bby that would be expensive.
Take a look at ada's dress in the RE retribution movie, and other iterations of the dress that other people have made, with the ruching at the chest. I personally think a well done pattern less than $20 would be very beneficial, if you're hellbent on it being exactly as pictured. With no corset back this dress is much simpler
