This dress is a perfect summer dress:
This is the Gathered Waist Dress from Poetry. Price tag: $268.00. Details: yarn dyed & laundered 100% linen, machine washable, long slightly long-waisted silhouette, neat collar and stand, button through, mother-of-pearl buttons, waist-seam with gathering front & back, patch-pockets on bodice, side seam pockets, short cap sleeves, shoulder princess seams on bodice, twin needle seam details.
I really love this dress. It is so wearable. For me, this would be a wear-everyday type of dress. Unfortunately, I could not find a pattern with the collar the same as the inspiration photo. However, if you have a collared blouse pattern that is already fitted, you are mostly there. Just determine where you want your waist and how long you want the dress to be. The skirt part would just need to be about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 times the waist area. It does not need to be a perfect measurement because this dress is not tightly gathered.
If creating your own pattern is not you, then Sew Liberated has a couple dresses with roughly similar silhouettes except for that collar.
Happy Stitching!
