It gives me some ideas of how to use a Titanic pattern that I have though.

I've been collecting late Edwardian/teens clothing (hats, shoes, jewelry) and am plotting a couple of dresses too! Which pattern do you have? I'm going to be modifying the Laughing Moon Mercantile one for a tea gown, and I've got some old draft-them-yourself pattern books from the era as source for a nice walking suit. My inspiration has been more Out of Africa than Titanic, but love the outfits in both!

It's beautiful!

Listen, as a non-sewer (a great regret) can you get new patterns sort of based on classic gowns, like Paquin, Poiret or Worth? On a simpler scale, of course!

I like the design but wish it was more colorful. Though I suppose it was made for the time when everything was sepia, before the world turned color in the fifties.

The world turned color in the 1930's with 3 strip technicolor. Everything before was hand-tinted or 2 strip in the 1920's

I don't know about copies of a specific designer, but what you can do is troll through the available patterns to find elements you like, and mash them up together.

There are companies that specialize in historical recreations of museum pieces (Folkwear, Past Patterns, etc.), although I've never tried any of those. I generally use the mainstream commercial patterns (because I can pick them up on sale for like $1/ea) and mess with those.
