I just finished a custom order for a dress someone wanted
“reproduced”. The customer provided the material she wanted, instructing me
what she wanted each print used for. She had a dress for her daughter she
wanted made in a bigger size and neither of us had a pattern that matched. I
was able to pull a pattern from my files that was the bodice she was looking
for, and I had a circle skirt pattern that I had to alter in order to add the
gathers the customer was wanting. I had to add the ties, and I measured the
ties of the dress I was “copying” to use as the pattern for the dress I was
making. Both mother and daughter are pleased with the finished product.
Pictured here is the dress they wanted reproduced
(the white with the pink/rose print -- above), along with the dress they had me make.
