Does anyone know where I might be able to find a pattern or at least one similar for the red dress worn in the opening scene in Sin City? Any help would really be appreciated.

It might help us if you could please post a reference picture or two? I've not seen Sin City for almost a year! But if you post a pic you might get more help.

Here's some screenshots of the dress



if I get the chance I'll have a look through the extras and see if there's any behind the scenes shots of it in natural lighting.

Wow! Thank you both so much for your help they are really great, and the phots are just what I needed. My friend has decided she wants that dress as her wedding dress and I hadn't been able to find any photos of it let alone a pattern that was close. Hopefuly she will be happy blush.gif
