HOLY SHIT. This, you and Stars are so beautiful! I'm gonna rip this off... if I can figure out how.

Oh, and I think my bf was at that concert!

Wow, these are so cool!

Hey guys. I got desperate and made this in the end:

My bf made me an amazzzing corsage with ivy and flowers from his garden. I wish I'd gotten a proper photo of it.

Grosssss photo but that's the top. The sleeve things were SO HARD for someone with sewing skills as poor as mine. But I think it looked alright in the end. It took about 5 hours.

Oh my goshhhh so cute!

I'm keen, despite being pretty inactive here nowadays. Weekend would definitely be best though.

Oh, that's gorgeous! Thank you so much! I'd love to see the straight across one too, if that's alright!

That is adorable!

Okay, so, I have 3 formals (the Kiwi equivalent of proms) this year. And to at least one, I plan on wearing a dress similar to this one:

Isn't it wonderful?! But yes, I'm looking for a similar pattern, or a pattern with a similar bodice shape. I'm going to et rid of the pintucks, so it should be easy enough? Any help would be very much appreciated!

What size?  I have a ton of vintage patterns that might work.

Eee, yay, thank you! I'm 5"2, 98lbs. Bust 34, waist 25.

I plan on it being pretty much the same, except without the puntucks and rick-rack on the bodice. So, does anyone know of any patterns with a similar shaped bodice? Or any patterns that are similar in general?
If you can help, I'll be forever in your debt. Thank you in advance!
