Princess Buttercup

[Charlotte Rowan]

Anyone know of a good pattern for Buttercup-esque garb?

Forgive my ignorance but who is Princess Buttercup? All I can think of is the Powerpuff Girls.

She is the Princess in The Princess Bride played by Robin Wright Penn

McCall's pattern M5444 is pretty close. You would need to make some adjustments.

A good friend of mine did the McCalls pattern above just so she can act as princess buttercup, lol

i believe she said her adjustments were basically the type of fabric ( i believe she used a sheer fabric, and then a soft velveteen under the sheer fabric) and about 5-6 yard of fabric,

but yes, you would definitely have to modify it to fit you and too look like princess buttercup

Which dress are you looking at specifically?  Many of the lord of the rings ones can be editted to look similar to the orange gown...

I don't really care which gown. It's actually for Halloween so I just want it to be something that people could accept as Buttercup (my fiance is going to be the Dread Pirate, so that should help).

Yeah, who wouldn't want a change to go out with the Dread Pirate for a night. Plus, of course, I can reuse the dress for faire!

This pattern reminds me of the EVER AFTER red dress! (one of my favorites!)

Have you tried looking in simplicity patterns? They've always done good by me.
