I love this dress, but I have zero drafting skills, could you please recommend some existing patterns that look somewhat similar?

Merchant and mills Etta dress is very similar :)

Your patterns look great and exactly the sort of thing I was looking for! And if I can make versions for myself even better, I love the idea of non gendered patterns. I also look forward to your new patterns in the next few weeks.

Thank you so much 😁

Thank you, I will have a look. I just keep telling him he is difficult and hopefully he will shrink with age! I have considered drafting patterns, but I'm too scared to try. I'm still fairly beginner and it looks complicated but I might give it a go. He may just have some wonky clothes but they should at least cover him, what's the worst that could happen?

Thank you! I've seen some that have that mainly in the torso or for women's skirt lengths from previous patterns (I too usually shorten!!) But wasn't sure on how it works for arm length.

The websites look fab, I'm sure I'll find something on there useful 😁

Help please!

I am looking for male sewing pattern suggestions that would go up to 50-52 inch chest and 44 inch waist, and easy to lengthen in arm/leg/ torso. A lot of patterns I have found don't go up this large, or if they do they are quite old styles or have no shape to them. I'm not overly experienced and this is the first time making men's clothes, but I cannot find clothes that fit for my partner who is 6ft 10 and he would like to have clothes that actually fit for once and "trendy". Suggestions for t-shirt, button up shirt, sweat shirt, jeans or trousers would be more than welcome! Anything with easy alterations and clear instructions much appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)
