i want to make this dress, this is princess alice of the united kingdom's wedding dress, since the time i saw this dress years ago i decided it would be my wedding dress and i havent changed my mind since.. now im not getting married anytime soon but i still want to start making it cause its so beautiful and its gonna take a lot of time anyway so...

anyway what im asking is what pattern from the second photo is the best for the skirt? or if you have a better pattern for this please tell me.. and what fabrics should i use?

thank you in advance!

edit: after doing more research i found out its not her wedding dress, but probably her court presentation dress

Good afternoon!
I posted a previous question about the bust (measurements say 9 inch but using a 12 inch is only a little too big/small depending on the day?) and someone said to add pictures of I’d like help with fitting.
I honestly would appreciate fitting help on the whole thing actually, since this is about the third thing I’ve sown, first being the super loose fitting Victorian chemise, second being a WAY too small corset mock up. So any tips and tricks would be super helpful. It’s the laughing moon pattern 115, regency corset (I know the chemise is the wrong time period, I just haven’t gotten around to making the chemise for the lmm 115 yet.
The mock up is also not very sturdy because I was using leftover fabric from the first mock up I made, which had only enough to do about one layer and a bit. So I added the busk pocket on the back and called it a day.

Thanks in advance!
