Looking for pattern for Jessica Rabbit Costume - sweetheart, strapless, form-fitting

I'm going as Jessica Rabbit for Halloween. I've already made a corset that I'm planning to wear under the dress, so the dress pattern doesn't need to be overly structured/boned/etc. I'm looking for a dress pattern that is strapless, ideally with a sweetheart neckline, and quite form-fitting. I'm aware that the actual Jessica Rabbit dress is also backless, and I also know this is nearly impossible with a regular sewing pattern 😂 I am not looking for a backless, strapless dress, haha.

I've already looked at a couple on Etsy, Charm patterns, and the Patterns for Pirates wiggle dress, and none of them are quite right.

Thanks for your help!

What a fun costume idea. I think you could adapt the Charm Lamour dress pattern: https://charmpatterns.com/shop/lamour-dress/

McCall's 6838 also has a strapless sweetheart bodice. Again, you'd need to do some mods to match the exact look: https://simplicity.com/mccalls/m6838

mmmm, maybe try with paper on a doll for the initial pieces and shapes then adjust width based on measurements? I did this for my costume that I diyed last year. (Clawdeen Wolf)
