I'm terribly interested, but I probably won't be able to afford it
until fall/winter. I'd be happy to design several dozen patterns that
I want as soon as I have a speck of spare time, though! =}

I am trying to locate a suitable pattern to possibly recreate the red dress
featured on an episode of the Sci Fi show Dr Who
Below are some links, does anyone recognise the dress style and perhaps
suggest a pattern to use as a base?

It is not really my period, but I think it is 1850-1860. Anyone else?

It looks like the transaction period between the Civil war era and early
victorian. There are several patterns that are similar but none that I know of
that has that kind of front. SImplicity has several that might work. Check
their historical patterns on their website. May not be totally
I would start with Simplicity 2589. It should be easy to modify for what you
want.

Following the links you provided - it looks like it is from the late 1860's?
As far as I can recall there might be a simplicity pattern that might match
it...I might have seen one on eBay in there historic series.

The v-shaped pleating on the bodice says 1840s, and the rest of the dress
says 1850s, while the end product says theater costume. (I do both strict

To my eye it's trying to imitate styles of the 1850s but it's only got an
approximate silhouette of the period. It definitely doesn't use period
construction or cut.
For the same cut in the bodice I'd be inclined to try
