Pattern needed for a prom dress

Post: # 189606Post becks77 »

Hi Everyone,
It's my daughter's prom year...she had her eye on a very inexpensive frock but of course never got round to ordering it and now it is sold out!
This is a piccie of the dress (I hope)

Now the question is does anyone have any good sites where I could get a pattern to make something similar, its the drop waist, fitted ccorset type top and beading that appeals to her
In anticipation many thanks
Becks

Can't really help with pattern sources becks, but I did have a thought.

If you can't find a pattern for a dress, what about looking for a pattern for the corset - it wouldn't be too difficult to extend and the skirt looks to be fairly easy to make without a pattern.

Becks, I couldn't see the photo? (Although I'm not great with facebook, could be me).

Sounds fantastic though, I'm glad she liked it!
