Description One of my cosplays planned for early next year. 
The pattern is very simple, which is great, the most difficult element is the sleeves, to subvert this I have designed the piece to be an undershirt with the sleeves attached in full and the dress body - to be sewn together through a zip down the back.
I am considering using a Melton wool for accuracy, additionally there is a high likelihood that I'll be photoshooting this cosplay in the peak district.....so the fabrics warmth will be imperative.

For a cheaper make crushed velvet would work if nothing else~
As with all my patterns the double semicircle symbolizes a cut along fold. 

Suggested Construction Notes: Sew the bodice of the dress in the first panel, making an incision down the back cut for a zip to be sewn.
Sew the shirt bodice leaving the back open with the gathered sleeves together with the cut out sleeve and add the pleated edges along the neckline and cuffs.
Join both in a zip at the back.

May be a stupid question, but if one were going to use this pattern how would I get it the size (larger than this image) that I need?
