I don't about you but I think I could make a lot of dresses for the price tag on this one. It is certainly a very wearable silhouette. Here's a pattern:
This is the Seamwork Bertie dress pattern. This is a new Seamwork pattern and it is only available to Seamwork members at this point. Use this link to become a member - Membership and you will get $3.00 off your first month. I also get a small benefit at no cost to you if you join. This dress also have a variation available to members that has 3/4 length sleeve with a cuff. The changes that I see making to this pattern is to shorten the sleeve, add length, and make a belt. Small changes that are very doable.
I also like the idea of this dress:
This is McCall's 8031. View A would give a similar silhouette. The collar is different but I think it is a good match otherwise.
So many decisions. Hope you're inspired to create something beautiful.
Happy Stitching!
Thank you for referring to the McCall's pattern by the number and not the off putting name

I think I owned that dress in the 90's (only the print had a navy background and then, I thought it was more of an abstract floral)
