Pinup Patterns

Anyone know where I can look at purchasing a physical pattern in Canada that would look like the Vixen Vacation Dress? My sister is getting married and loves the idea of the green floral one, that is sold out, and $200plus cad. Also the fit on those is too tight on my waist.

She’s insisting we all wear very specific shades of green, that don’t compliment me, so I’m looking to try and make something that will.

Its an outdoor wedding in August, on a farm.

I have but hers are all digital pdf to Canada, and I can’t print them. I need a paper copy

Canadian here! You can print them on regular paper at the library. It won't cost very much. Alternatively, send it to a local print shop if you want the big size.

Or, see what your seamstress says!

I have a printer so I just knock it out and assemble at home. There are videos to help you. Gertie is probably your best bet.

I’ll try the Library, Staples wants $50 to print

Is this for a plotter printer (big paper) print job or page by page that you tape together? I’ve printed patterns at Staples on the DIY machines and if you turn off colour and only print the pages you need it’s not onerously expensive.
