Thread: Desperately seeking...

I really need a white/ivory satin circle dress for my new act. I'm making do with a red dress at the moment but know I really want the vivien of holloway dress to make it perfect...

It's out of stock on their website and I can't really afford full price because the dress will be altered to have red hearts silk screened onto it so it couldn't be a dual function dress

Has anyone seen anything like this anywhere in either modern size 8-10 or vintage size 10-12. I'm very happy to go second hand or even make it if the pattern can be found...

Thank you

xx

not exactly what you are looking for but maybe if you stuck a petticoat underneath it would look ok?

You got a link to a picture of the one you want? I know quite a few dress patterns you can buy or can alter to fit

Have you tried looking on a U.S website to purchase one? it may be cheaper then around the UK .. I will keep a lookout though

ooh thanks for suggestions everyone, it's this dress/style i'm really after. I have to have a halter or straps otherwise my boobs fall out

thanks

This is the closet pattern I could find to that dress
VoguePatterns - V2902 - MISSES'/MISSES' PETITE DRESS - 2902

If your good at altering patterns this one will be easy enough to adapt to the image you've posted
When working with Satin, try not to get a too heavy one otherwise the skirt won't puff out unless it has good support underneath
Otherwise Get it custom made, if your interested just give me a shout I'm sure we could work something out

good luck in your searching

Amelie Honey,
why don't you just buy a Marilyn dress?

From where though? It seems to be the style Amelie wants, but tracking them down aint so easy ...

Google found this: http://www.doreenfashions.com/store/dresses_75.html

And several fancy dress shops with their own 'Marilyn dresses' - all look pretty good and quite cheap too, but I'm never sure of the quality of fancy dress costumes ...
