Is it legal to replicate celebrity dress in UK?

Hi I am a fashion designer and had a lot of requests to replicate celeb styles which I can do but I am not sure if it is legal in UK. I have searched but not finding good answer. Some documents say garments are not copyright protected,the design. It would be helpful if somebody can give an answer, I will contact a lawyer later but I thought someone may know already here. thanks Just to add can I mention on my website that I do celebrity inspired dresses?

1. yes it is totally legal as long as you do not sue the same company name like a pair of nike shoes with nike written o nthe side if you made a pair of those with it written on it can be copyright but if a pair of shoes is branded but you dont put the brand logo nor name on it but it looks the same otherwise its totally legal
2. As long as the pattern is different, it should be fine. You're most likely not going to be using the same exact fabrics, trim, cut, etc. If you replicated it exactly, then yes it would be illegal because high end fashion designers have their own patterns. As long as their still alive, those patterns are under copyright. Unless that copyright has expired. You should try adding something signature of your own to those outfits so that it's yours. Hope that helps.
3. yes it is as long it is not an exact duplicate it can be similar to it like lets say vanessa hudgens was wearing a dress and it was a floor link straight dress that puffs out a little bit and was a v type and a padded bra think and it had these robe kinda things for straps and it was red okay you could make it red without the puff thinki make it floor length and make pleat like thinks come down it and have spegetti sraps and still have built in bra and at the bottom of the dress you could make it like a prom dress i mean at the very last inch or two of the dress make it out of that kinda poffy prom looking material hope i helped u
