How to make a modes royale dress Where to find a pattern similar to an out of print pattern

Does anyone have any suggestions of alternate patterns I could use that would be similar? The dress is from the 1952 Spring/Summer pattern book and features on the front cover. Here is a few pictures of the dress (it is the strapless one, I don't think I'd make the jacket). Red Dress with jacket Navy strapless dress Thank you for any assistance you can give.

I can't see the two you posted. ------ Galatians 5:22-23 The Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control.

It's really just a very basic strapless dress with a full four-gore skirt, and then a wrapped bow detail. Some somewhat similar patterns: Vintage Vogue V2902 - not strapless, and the skirt doesn't have the same gore lines, but does fall in a similar circle. You'd just need to add boning to make it strapless, and drape a bow. Vintage Vogue V9261 is another good option. The bust darts aren't the same, and you'd need to get rid of the front opening and put in a back or side zip. Plus the bow wrap. Vogue 5811 has a slightly dropped waist, and would need to be shortened, but is otherwise very close to your dress. Really though, you just need a strapless bodice pattern and a full four-gore skirt. Good luck!
