How can I draw a dress pattern?
Here's a book I've used since I started designing custom clothes in the early 1960's and I still refer to it. Published in 1959, "How to Design Your Own Dress Patterns" by Adele P. Margolis, published by Hanover House. I was told a few years ago that it is still available. Get a basic commercial dress pattern with fitted top, straight skirt and make yourself slopers of the parts using a tough paper.From the slopers you can draw out the parts of your pattern design. In the next step if you're going beyond the drawing you can true the fit in muslin and then make a permanent pattern of tissue paper. If you want to know how an amazing designer draws and develops a pattern, take a trip to the NY Metropolitan Museum of Art show of Charles James. If you can't do that you might find it all on line.
How can I make a dress?
Having a dress is a crucial thing for everyone on this planet. There are many types of dresses that are used for different purposes. For making a dress, you need a fabric and there are different types of fabric materials available in the market. You will need to know about the pattern and according to the pattern you will be able to get the right size of the fabric. The right size of the fabric is important for making the right kind of dress otherwise the whole look of your dress will be ruined. You have to cut the dress into sections. After making the sections then you will sew them together to make a dress. If you want to add sleeves on your dress, then you will need to cut a different piece for this purpose. You have to take the right measurements of your body size to get the exact size of your dress. The sides of the fabric are sewn at the beginning and you have to turn the fabric inside out to sew it. The use of zigzag stitch is best for sewing the back and front of the dress. You have to follow the direction of the design pattern. If the design pattern directs you to sew the other sections rather than sewing the front and back then you have to follow it. You have to sew the neckline along the edges and it is better to flat the surface of the fabric with an iron. You can decide the depth of the neckline according to your desire. After you have sewn your whole dress, you can add a zip at the back of your dress to wear it easily. You can add the buttons, laces, ruffles to your dress.Embroidery Digitizing3D Puff Embroidery DigitizingChain Stitch EmbroideryVector Art

Can I use the Vogue sewing commercial patterns to make clothes for sale?
My question is, why would you want to? Home patterns aren't used by manufacturers for very good reasons. The biggies are accuracy and that the pattern design is set up for home sewing methods, not industrial ones. Here's more info on that: Do You Need A Pattern Maker?It tells a true story of the chaos that ensued when the production manager brought in a home sewing pattern for us to work with.
Creating Sewing Patterns from Existing Garments?
You are more than likely going to have take apart the garment, to make the correct pattern. Unless you can find another similar item that you don't mind taking apart, but you are getting another one or more, and most clothing can be resewn. I would definitely find a good seamstress, get her advice on which clothes you want and the fabrics you have in mind. Also, if your local alteration store won't be able to assist you, they can probably give you a recommendation to someone who can.

Take apart and remake garments to understand how they are put together.Lastly, you don't have to fully teach yourself, ask for help, ask friends if they know anyone who might be able to help you.I'm sure there are a ton of wonderful specific resources out there and I hope someone can give you those connections in their answer.Good luck!!
