I'm hooked on the weekly TV series Merlin. In the episode "The Gates of Avalon" the charter Sophia has this amazing gold dress and cape, I just love it. The thing is I am not able to find a picture of the full dress anywhere, I've found just parts of the dress. Does anyone know where I can find a picture(s) of the whole dress? I would love to try and make the dress and cape as garb!! I know the dress might have very little historical accuracies and I'm ok with that, it could be fun just the same. Thank you everyone for the help. :)
Try this! ;)

If you go to the albums on that site... the page for that episode is on the last one. There's not many photos of it, sadly. I wish I had the DVD's (they need to come out soon! Me wants!) to cap it for you. You can always rewatch it on Hulu and pause it to look at the dress.
So I don't watch the show however when I look up sites for that specific gown
I can't seem to find anything that will give me a look at what you are asking about.
So I can tell you that looking at the photos below I can say the cape #1. is basic Polyester
sheers you can use curtain sheers for a similar effect. And you can use this pattern from McCalls"

Thank you for the pictures Cilean! ;D The dress in the second picture is what I'm looking for, I'm having issues finding anything without the cape covering up most of the dress. From what I can tell the dress is kind of like Burrerick 4827 and Simplicity 9891.
