bridal gown pattern

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me.
I am looking for a bridal gown patern with a pleat inset at the back which
will continue for a train. I have looked through all the usual pattern books
but no joy.
Hope someone out that can help.
Kind Regards
Jacquie

Maybe you could look at Pattern Master Celebrations and see if they have
that option.

I re-designed an old Vogue pattern for my DD's gown, and added an
inverted pleat front and back.

Simplicity 4731 has an inverted *front* pleat, but apparently not a
back pleat.
Vogue 2788 does have a back pleat, if the rest of the style works for
you (empire waisted princess-seamed dress).
Butterick 4452 is a two-piece dress with a pleat in the back of the
skirt.
Butterick 4228 is also two-piece and has a pleat in both the front and
back of the skirt.
Butterick 4843 has a back pleat in the skirt (view E).

HTH,

Beverly

Hi

Oh, nice job, Mom. She looks gorgeous - you must be very proud. Did
you do the BMs as well?

Thanks! It was a dream job. Karen and I spent many hours together in
the design and selection of fabric stages. Her older sister and I
spent hours sewing on all the Swarovski crystals. The gown won a
couple of ribbons at the OR State Fair last summer:

Yes, all the attendants were required to use the same purple satin,
(the flower girl had periwinkle) but DD encouraged them to select
their own individual design, and I created patterns, and sewed the
dresses. A few of them won prizes at the Fair, also:

I won a Huskylock serger, and $$$ certificates at Hancock's and the
Mill End Store! ;-)
