Default Can anyone help with a dress pattern?

Help!

I’m looking for a pattern for my dream dress and I’ve hunted everywhere for it but with no luck at all.

Can anybody help? Please!!!

I’m looking for a pattern for:

Floor Length
Empire line
White chiffon
Full Lining
Strapless / Sleeveless
Pleats falling from under bust (approx 1.5cm)
Hidden Zip at the back on the dress
Hook and eye fastening at back
Black satin ribbon (1.5") under bust with a bow at the back and the ribbon falling down my back.

I am 5ft 2.5" with a 32FF bust measurement, my waist is 33.5" and my hips are 40.5".

I would be really grateful if someone could please help me locate a pattern.

No help here either but to Groovy. If you have a really good idea of what you want could you get a dressmaker to make it?

I have a feeling I saw something like this in an Oscar de la Renta dress pattern.Try your local dress fabric shop as they tend to hold patterns and they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Where abouts are you based?

I had the same problem.

The suggestion made to me, was find a plain simple pattern, that is close to the shape of what I want, then get someone who is a good seamistress to make the changes.

Better still get her to pick the pattern.
