    Hello! I am so new to this website and also to dress making! This is the most superb dress, I have the material ready but no idea where to start! I know you made it from scratch, but is there any way you (or anyone) could point me in the direction of a similar pattern? I’ve no idea if you can reply to me personally on this or how it all works, but I’d love any help!! Such a lovely dress, well done! Hannah
