SEE UPDATE AT END!!


The dress in this picture...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/22554961@N00/1887280603/

I am completely in love with this style of dress! I'm not sure what to even call it to try to google the style. I emailed the photographer, but haven't heard anything back.

Help!!

Thanks in advance,

PS I hope the link works! Not exactly sure what I'm doing!

I can only see the back of the dress; are there pictures that I'm missing? From what I can see, if the front is like the back, it should be fairly easy to make without a pattern. Have you checked out Simplicity or Butterick sites? They may have something similar.

No, I just have the picture as is. I am a total newbie at sewing, so I feel like I need a pattern, though I see what you mean that its very simple. I probably could figure it out, but I'd much rather have a pattern! What style would you call it, so I can narrow down key words at the website? I don't have time with my 4 kiddos home this summer to go to a fabric store and search through pattern books.

just ask soul mama the person that posted that picture she is real nice and has a blog all about maing things she even has a book out. If she made it it might be a pattern she made her self but all it is, is wide straps a wide strap around the torso and a few arc pieces for the skirt.

have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

If the straps were long enough that the jumper pulled over your head then you wouldn't have to put a zipper in it. I like pull over jumpers.

They are dressed for Halloween! That looks like a Pipi Longstocking outfit to me!

Just to update, I finally found a pattern, AND a front view, at least what I was imagining it looks like from the front. Is this not too cute?
the front: (the back is obviously different, but I think even I can figure out how to change it!)

The pattern if anyone is interested:

I was at a JoAnn Fabric store yesterday, checking the Butterick book because their patterns were ninety nine cents. There is a dress pattern there that looks exactly like the back of that jumper--a band, straps, and flared bottom without darts or gathering.
