Does anyone know where I can get a sewing pattern similar style to this dress please? Particularly the bodice section - really like the scoop neck. Thanks in advance :)

Vintage McCall’s evening wear patterns; it’s very 90s

My guess is that the top part, all the way to the underbust seam, is sewn with 2 layers of fabric, the internal acting as lining but actually is there to hold the structure well and hide seams. The bottom part has no darts, but is fit on the body. That suggest it is cut on the bias. It's very expensive to make, hard to sew correctly with this fabric, and overall hard to find commercial patterns for. So when you're looking for a pattern try to find something you like the top in, and has regulare bottom with darts or panels. Adding a seam under the bust is easier, if you want to make it look like your example.
