Okay, seriously ...

I need to get a sewing pattern of this dress or something as close to it as possible so I can make, like, twenty different copies in different colors.



It's the most comfortable thing I own, I could wear it every damn day, and it works in the summer with flip flops or in the winter with a long sweater and nice toasty knee-high socks.

I guess I'm going to research the HELL out of the pattern websites tonight to see if I can find a pattern. I'm not even joking. I'm wearing the dress like now and I feel both pretty AND like I'm in my PJs.

I've had good success on pattern!fail with lovingly unpicking my original dress and using it to make a pattern out of newspaper/butcher's paper then sewing it back together. I refined the pattern by making the first one out of very VERY cheap fabric - like a knitting fail!sock. Last Resort!
