Re: [h-cost] custom made brocades
I'm terribly interested, but I probably won't be able to afford it until fall/winter. I'd be happy to design several dozen patterns that I want as soon as I have a speck of spare time, though! =} -E House, who just spent her fabric budget for the year on the most recent-but-one Adobe software suite, and therefore will have no spare time when it arrives in the mail tomorrow hurryhurryhurryhurry...

Re: [h-cost] Pattern for red dress on Dr Who
It looks like the transaction period between the Civil war era and early victorian. There are several patterns that are similar but none that I know of that has that kind of front. SImplicity has several that might work. Check their historical patterns on their website. May not be totally accurate but easy to make.

Re: [h-cost] Pattern for red dress on Dr Who
Following the links you provided - it looks like it is from the late 1860's? As far as I can recall there might be a simplicity pattern that might match it...I might have seen one on eBay in there historic series.

Re: [h-cost] Pattern for red dress on Dr Who
The v-shaped pleating on the bodice says 1840s, and the rest of the dress says 1850s, while the end product says theater costume. (I do both strict historical and theatrical historical, so this hybrid doesn't bother me.)

Re: [h-cost] Pattern for red dress on Dr Who
To my eye it's trying to imitate styles of the 1850s but it's only got an approximate silhouette of the period. It definitely doesn't use period construction or cut. For the same cut in the bodice I'd be inclined to try Burda 2768 http://www.burdafashion.com/en/Shop/Carneval_Halloween/2768_Woman%E2%80%99s_ 19th_century_period_costume/103-1128999-1146174.html this is the best imitation I've been able to find from the big 4 but you would need to find the sleeves somewhere else.
