Can anyone recommend a pattern that would be close to this Seasalt dress?

I like the waist shaping and square neckline.

The Jennifer Lauren Pippi Pinafore seems quite close, it just has thinner adjustable straps which I think could be altered easily, and dart shaping rather than princess seams. It is only digital though, I don't know how you feel about that.

The Jennifer Lauren is nice, I wonder if I could draft a back piece instead of cross over straps?

I couldn’t believe seeing your post I have been thinking exactly the same thing.  I also like the Decoupage Pinafore dress from Seasalt and have been looking for a wide corduroy with a bit of Lycra to try to copy it, with no luck so far

I think you are right, @Francesca.
I have looking through the Style Arc Dress section; I know their patterns fit me with little alteration. This one looks right.     [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

I can reduce the waistband depth, and will try and make up pocket pieces.

Yes I've done loads of trouser pockets, I just want to get the angle correct! I can see a muslin or two in the future.
