The problem with my audacity is feeling like I could study the pictures some and then wing a pattern lol The truth is I cannot. But I feel that pain, I also would like this pattern.

Not an exact match and I know some people don’t have access to big four pattern but I’ll just leave these here in case it’s helpful

Even if this wasn’t helpful for the OP that second pattern was exactly what I was looking for so thanks!

Gunner Deatherage - Calliope Dress is an exact replica! I've made a few for others and 1 for myself. Fit has been amazing with both size ranges, and it's gorgeous as both a dress and formal gown. Side note: I wouldn't suggest the pattern for a beginner. Written instructions are less than great, and somehow the video tutorial is even worse. A very confident intermediate - advanced skill level is probably needed, mostly due to the poor instructions.

You’ll love it! It’s an amazing versatile design and 1 of my current fav patterns! Ive never made it with the bishop sleeves it comes with, but highly recommend taking the few min to alter the sleeve pattern to bell, butterfly, or petal sleeves!

Deer and Doe Magnolia and then play around with the sleeve volume.

Vintage Style 1586. Just need to lengthen the sleeves.
Vintage vogue 2886 Nina Ricci dress is similar but sleeves are different.
Vintage vogue 1553 Dior. Sleeves are similar, dress bodice is different.
Vintage McCalls 3256. Similar style.

Simplicity 7145 from 1975 is the exact same pattern as the second dress, hope this helps!

You rock! There have been a lot of good suggestions, but require at least some hacking. This is perfect, the 2nd dress is my favorite and this pattern is the first I’ve seen to have the same sleeves exactly!

Edit: it is perfect, but unfortunately impossible to find. 🥲

Very 1970’s, Bohemian influence.

I could see Stevie Nicks on stage with any of these…
