i'm generally not a designer sort of clothes-wearer, but i really want this dress. even if i have to make it myself. i've been brainstorming different ways of putting this together, and what i really love about it is the combination of the stripes, with the very structured top piece of it.
here's what i'm thinking. split it up into 2 pieces (tank + skirt) that are sewn together. the skirt part is easy enough without a pattern, and i'm not really tied to the embellishment on the bottom; it could just be a plain skirt. but the top part would be the hardest. has anyone seen a pattern of a tank top or dress similar to the top?
this pattern from burda was the closest i found, but wouldn't quite be the same. i'm wondering if just cutting pieces and pinning them to the dressform would work?? ideas?

Just found you. I love your crochet necklaces - love them. They are on my wish list now.
Thanks -

Wow! I really admire your ability to sew. My mom used to sew, but I only learned the basics. Good luck with finding a pattern, or creating one, to match the dress.
i think pinning pieces to dressform would be easiest, since it's a fitted top anyway. i love when stripes all come together at different angles!
