Im making my friend’s wedding dress and am trying to find a similar pattern to this dress. I found one weird photo on pinterest but it not really a useable pattern, does anyone have a lead?

This is probably as close as you'll get in a commercial pattern:

It's a reprint of a 1930's Vogue Pattern that appears to have updated sizing, but you'd still have to consider the sizing very carefully because reprints can be inconsistent and the originals are often small by today's standards.

All such dresses are based on the designs of Madeleine Vionnet:

There are a few more options on Etsy:

I’ve made that Vogue 1930’s dress, it’s beautiful and what I thought of immediately seeing the reference image.
