    My favourite dress seems to have been discontinued. I must have worn to bits at least twenty of these over the years, it’s damn near my uniform. Now the horrors of finding something new and dressing room mirrors 😾

        I’ve already got some similar patterns but have put off attempting them. Size grading and all that fuss. Boobs are inconvenient.

      Hate that so much. I feel you on the uniform.

      I don’t know what the budget is but perhaps a tailor could recreate it in different colours?

      There’s always finding a similar pattern but the same fit isn’t guaranteed. Recreating it yourself is possible too but could require taking it apart.

      I’ve tried the ways of making a pattern without unpicking the garment but had issues not distorting the pieces which screwed with the shape of the armholes.

      Sewing is a skill and can be a bit of an undertaking :(
