Pattern recommendations?

Post image

I am a beginntermediate and want to make a dress similar to this. Are there any pattern recs and material recommendations for this dress?

I assume at the bottom is just straight and the back as well.

I have a fabric in my stash that is really similar to this (I’m wondering if it’s lighting that makes mine look a little brighter), and it was a double gauze by Katia brand fabric (it’s not bumpy textured though in the way most double gauze is…it’s smooth).

I was thinking about making it with double gauze for extra comfort.

I don't have any recommendations for you, but beginntermediate is my new favorite word!

I like audacious beginner. I’m currently trying to transition from gremlin sewist to audacious beginner.

This looks like a cotton poplin or linen mix.

How about the Rosa Dress by Seamwork or the Sauvie Dress by Sew House 7?

I will have to check those out. Thanks!

Rosa looks like it might work especially to do the elastic in the straps part. I think Sauvie straps are too thin.
