Default Dress Pattern Search....

I'm in despeate need to find a pattern for this dress. I've kept the
picture for years, hoping that I would find a similar one, or find
someone talented enough to make it without a pattern. I don't know who

the designer for this one was. I know it was in a Saks wedding
brochure I got a while back.

Vogue 8076 has all the style elements I would need to replicate that
dress.

Vogue 7996 might work:

The skirt on Vogue 7850 is closer to the look of your dress:

A good sewist should be able to use one or more of those to replicate
your dream dress.

HTH,

Try thist:

Try Vogue. I don't know a specific pattern number, but the only
tricky part would be the skirt flounce, and that may be found in a
different pattern than the bodice.

The advantage of being in different time zones, I'm sure. You were
probably still sleeping. ;-)

Yes, very. Kind of retro without being too over the top.

It seems Vogue 7996 has the top you want and Vogue7850 has the skirt. With
no waist seams, it should be easy to use the two together and make the
dress.

Thanks. for all your help!!! I'm buying those two patterns
now-
They are so close it's amazing! I want this dress as my
wedding dress or bridesmaid dress. What fabric do you
recommend?


Silk-like Crepe, Charmeuse, Tissue Faille, Crepe Back Satin,
Soft Faille, Matte Jersey, Crepe de Chine... I would
certainly tend toward very soft, with wonderful drape, low
luster.


Do you think it's too plain and ordinary to be a
wedding dress?


Absolutely not! If you have the figure to carry it off
mores the better. It could be embellished a little, but
IMHO it calls for fabulous fabric, stunning jewelry and
*nothing else*!

Thanks again for your help! Sher


You're welcome.
