I suggest you post this in the sewing forum too.   They will know the pattern parts to create this style and can help with the hanging sleeve too.
Good Luck

It looks like a mix and match from this pattern:

I'm in a quandary, I've contacted 2 people,to make this for me since I cannot sew at all.
Spoke with our resident maker of fynery.
Her schedule is booked till aug.
Strike 1
next one
She prefers  to do her on style....so...I've looked at the vendor list..
I've emailed a couple of vendors so I wait..
Anyone interested in a few extra bucks for faire season?
Gramercy.

lady Katherine of Olmstead here on the forums does some amazing commissions.  You can see her most recent pieces all through the sewing forums.   There are several others here too!

My two cents........   wait until August when Lady Kathleen can make your garb.  You will not be disappointed.  It will be constructed like iron (not that it feels like you're wearing iron, but it is so well made, it will last forever) and be comfortable, not to mention beautiful. 

I've waited almost a year for an overskirt for my noble garb, and it will be worth every minute of the wait when I receive it.

I'd love to wait,we will be renewing our vows mid July.

I'm in contact with theverymerryseamstress.heather piper.
She has great ideas.
Has anyone worn her garb?
Lady Kathleen recommended her and another one.
Lady kathleen is booked until aug.

I have ordered several sets of garb from Heather. I've loved every piece.  I'm again working with her on another outfit for this year.  She is quick to respond, friendly, knows her stuff, and you will be thrilled you got a gown from her.  I ordered my first set from her about 8 years ago and was so thrilled that I've gone back for a corset, a courtesan outfit, my maternity bodice, etc.  Loved every one of them.

I am so sorry Lady Catherine that I am unable to do your gown ensemble in time for your important celebration.    :(  :( Which is why I made the recommendations that I did. I am booked up through August. I am about to start cutting out another commission for yet another client in Texas. I will post progress Photos on that too.

Thank you for your understanding. I know with confidence that whomever you choose will do a FANTASTIC job for you. You will look lovely.

Mercy, Lady Kathleen! You need to open a satellite office in Texas! That's 4 commissions this year that I know of. (I consider myself Texan —shudder ;)— for this count, since home faire is there)
