I am looking for an independent pattern cutter or vintage-fluent dressmaker to draft a custom sewing pattern based on an iconic 1940s photo of an asymmetric wrap suit worn by Loretta Young.
I am using a high-quality, non-stretch men's wool suiting fabric, so precise tailoring lines are essential.
Key Pattern Specifications:
Front Bodice: Must feature a clean, flat horizontal front yoke (from armhole to armhole) with no gathers or pleats. The bust darts must be hidden/absorbed directly into the yoke seam.
Torso & Waist: Absolutely no visible front waist darts or princess seams. The front panel must be completely smooth and flat across the stomach, with the fitting and waist-nipping probably achieved entirely via side-seam contouring and back waist darts/shaping.
Closure & Neckline: An asymmetric front wrap closure. (Note: I would like to modify the neckline from the original photo to a custom style, which we can discuss).
Shoulders & Sleeves: Traditional 1940s set-in sleeves with built-in ease to accommodate 15mm-25mm tailoring shoulder pads.

I am not CAD literate and do not want to use automated design software. I will provide my exact body measurements.
I need the final pattern delivered as a physical paper pattern.
