Wow - after drooling my way through those pattern photos, all I can is... there are some seriously talented ladies out there!

You could definitely use the "Stripwork" pattern. The Esty front bodice is shorter - you could shorten the whole bodice, and modify the back. Make a trial run to get the length of the straps right, or... cheat and leave two strap-width openings between the back facing and back bodice.

The skirt is practically identical.

The Etsy model is wearing a belt because the dress is too big - it gives the back a slight ruffled effect on top. A properly fitting dress will not do this, so if you like the effect you can add a real ruffle.

Wow!! Thanks!!! That stripwork jumper was my first ever sewing experiment and I lengthened the bodice- the pattern is alot shorter than teh picture. I was thinking the skirt was teh same, I can play with bodice lengths. And I think I will attach teh straps in the front and just make them really nong without finishing the ends, criss cross tehm in back and attach buttonholes under the elastic in the back. Think that would work? I am soooo new sewing but am LOVING IT!!!!!!

Wait... that's YOURS??!! I am seriously impressed - you are no beginner!

Now get out there and SEW SEW SEW!!!

Oh no no no! the one in the link was not mine!! HAHA!! This is mine:

Sorry about the confusion!!!!! LOL!!

The sash on that is not being used to make the dress fit better. The back looks to be either shirred or it used elastic.

No need to buy a new pattern - I use CarlaC's stripwork patten for my sets all the time, and I rarely se the bodice for the back. Here' a picture of a set I've made with a mdified back.

This one is made as a halter (using the stripwork bodice) and a modified back.



Regular bodice and straps with a modified back. (Also one of the first thing I mad )



I'd be happy to post how I make the back like this.

[AdrisMommy]

Yes! I would love to know how to do the back like this! It is sooo hard for me to bring myself to buy patterns right now, cause I see how I can just change the carlac stripwork jumper a little to get the look I want! IT's just such a headache as I am such a beginner!!! Thanks for any help!!!
