Answer 1

Your dress is beautiful.

You might be able to alter a renaissance style pattern from Simplicity: http://www.simplicity.com/index.cfm?cat=4&type=19&sec=43&startrow=1
(I liked 4488 for this)

or this: http://www.simplicity.com/design.cfm?designId=10719&design=9891

This page has several possibilities: http://www.all-about-renaissance-faires.com/costumes/costume_patterns.htm

Here's one on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Medieval-Renaissance-Princess-Gown-Dress-Pattern-6-12_W0QQitemZ200068704758QQcmdZViewItem

Try a web search for "renaissance dress patttern" to find more options.

Answer 2

Try doing research on costumes for that period. Some of the major pattern makers have patterns available in the costume section of their pattern books. You may have to pick parts from several patterns, or if you have enough time, purchase several yards of an inexpensive fabric such as muslin and make your own pattern, you can adjust fit, drape, etc. before cutting out the pieces in the good fabric.

Good luck, the dress looks gorgeous!

Answer 3

You can try the costume and/or bridal section of any major pattern company, such as McCall's, Butterick, Vogue, Simplicity, or try a search for renaissance patterns; there are lots of small pattern companies out there now taking advantage of the ease of online shopping.

Answer 4

that is an absolutely beautiful dress.
the only thing i can think of is patterns by mccall or vogue. u can find them at any type of store that sells material,i.e., walmart, ragshop ,joanns,etc.
u might try looking mccalls and vogue up on line and they might b able to help u locate another pattern company
have u tried googling medieval clothing, u never know what may turn up
good luck
