have just spent an hour compositing those two dress photos together, to get a better idea of what I want. The result (which I'm very proud of, since I lack photoshop skillz):
Okay... My sleeve pattern is the McCalls 2810. I don't think it's current, though. And there is an old simplicity Begotten that may come even closer, as it shares the neckline- but I loaned that one out and haven't gotten it back yet. Neither are exact. Simplicity 9891 might be usable, too. And I like the sleeves on Butterick 6593.
The skirt is harder to match. I did a websearch and I didn't see anything exactly like yours. :(
But here's a similiar idea in a skirt- perhaps it'd be useful to you in some capacity. Butterick 3012bk. The skirt gathers over the hips and tummy in the same fashion as yours, but the dress lacks a proper train, and the gathers are more voluminous, more pronounced.
