This is the Akris Punto Leopard-print Belted Cotton Twill Midi Dress. Price tag: $1190.00. Details: polo collar, short kimono sleeves, back box pleat, d-ring belted waist, a-line silhouette, hem falls below the knee, side slit hem, pull-over style.
That seems like a mighty big price tag for this wee little dress. I think finding a similar fabric is the key here. I found this print at Mood that might work well. Now for a pattern. My first thought for a pattern was this:
This is Silhouette Patterns 4019 Diane's Wrap Dress. Yep, not a shirt dress but you can get the look with this dress - a belted waist, the higher collar. Easy to lengthen if you choose.
Other alternative would be to use an existing shirt/dress pattern that is already fitted. Really why go down the road of having to fit another pattern if you do not need to. How you are inspired to create something beautiful.
Happy Stitching!
