If you're seasoned in making sewing patterns, you can make your own. Use your measurements to make your pattern, adding 1.5" for seam allowance. If you've never made your own pattern, a wedding dress is a very difficult pattern to begin with. Once you have your fabric and style picked out, you can go to fabric stores and look through pattern books or you can order online. Each will be rated by level of difficulty. Make sure that a key/glossary, layout, and step-by-step instructions are included. When you order your pattern, it is easy to combine multiple sizes to get the pattern as close to your measurements as possible. Patterns can be printed on a variety of materials. For example, it can be printed on large pieces of tissue paper, or stiffer white paper. The stiffer paper is better if you'll be using it a lot. If you decide on tissue paper, make an extra pattern, just in case something happens to the original.
