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 😾
Catfish wear dresses?
You were expecting a boiler suit?
No just whiskers.
If you can sew maybe you can use an old dress to cut a pattern for a new one.
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 :(
