Hi there, I hope someone can help us. My daughter would like to try
making a dress of her own design. But we aren't too certain how to go
about it. When I was googling for pattern drafting sites the sort of
thing that came up was pretty basic. Does anyone know how to go about
doing something more different?

Her idea is to have gathered shoulders, sleeveless; the bodice will have
the right side crossed over the left so the neck will be v-shaped. She
is yet sure if she wants the waist to be defined or not. If there is a
waist line (with a seam) then she wants the skirt part to be gathered at
the waist and very full (sort of 50's style I think). If there is no
waist line then it would hang fairly straight.

So I guess we would like either help for finding a patttern like this or
help in how to make our won pattern.

TIA

Not in less than a week she couldn't, I bet.

Thanks to everyone for their input. This is going to be fun. Allison

It's kinda frustrating for a man to read all this and realize that all
or almost all does not apply to men.

We might as well be Martians for all the pattern world cares.

Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear by Winifred Aldrich, £20.99 at
Amazon.co.uk, but I see there'll be a new edition in February at £15.75.

Her women's amd children's wear books are excellent.

I hope you've got David Page-Coffin's Shirtmaking?

Duh! Sally got there first with the suggestions I was going to make!

Great books all, and for tailoring techniques, Tailoring: A Step-by-step
Guide to Creating Beautiful Customised Garments (Creative Publ Intl,
£6.99 from Amazon). I got this one for Christmas, and it looks good!
