bridesmaid dress patterns?? Help please!!!

Cant help i'm afaid, but that dress is gorgeous. far too nice for a bridemaid, you best make sure your dress is amazing. Just joking of course, but I really like it. Agree, the price is abit steep tho. good luck making the dress.

My bridesmaids are in this dress, in hunter green (with a lace-up back). I can safely say that the real thing is gorgeous - so very beautiful. I am so delighted with them - they had the first fitting on Saturday just gone and really looked amazing. Really recommend it - very flattering style too ? By the way mine only cost £163 each - still a lot but less than £178, so it might be worth shopping around. Could you also consider asking your bridesmaids to chip in if you can't find a dress pattern?

There is such a shortage of BM type dress patterns out there, I've been hunting for them for ages as my mum might be making mine... They're not identical to your choice of dress, but if your friend has a fashion degree I'm sure altering the patterns to suit won't be a problem. These are the best ones I've found so far...

Simplicity 2639 (I was thinking of removing the halterneck from the second one, as same bust line to the first, and adding a top layer of pleating and detail)

Or Vogue V2929 (which looks like it has a slit in the skirt that would need to go, but I'm sure this wouldn't be too hard!)

I just trawl through the sewing pattern websites, they usually have an evening/ bridal section.

Hope this helps!

Not looked but try here /pages/sewing-patterns
