Looking for a pattern like this

[sewingj]

I really like this dress which Jenny Agutter is wearing in Good Housekeeping. (Scroll down to the dress)

 Any ideas for a similar pattern?  And where I might find some lovely large print fabric?

The article loaded the words but no pictures for me.

I'm wearing it now, with the collar but without the cuffs!

@sewingj That looks very like a dress I used to wear in the ‘70s. It had cutaway sleeves and mandarin colour, zip in the back, but was A-line and could be worn long or short. I think I made three of them.

The Textile Centre often has large print fabrics

Oh, nice pattern @BrendaP If I ever find a waist I'll get one of those.

@Efemera   and @BrendaP    I`ve actually already got that pattern and wondered if it would do. I`m sure Jenny Agutter has got more of a waist than me (and probably more of a bust) - I don`t know if that`s going to be a problem

The princess panels will break a large print up a bit more, that's all.

I've made it three times now, and each time I've added a narrow (1/2 inch) tie belt inserted at the side seams and tied at the back.  It's not tied tightly, but just enough to help give a little definition to the waist, which isn't what it used to be.  I think Jenny Agguter is probably wearing a pouffy slip underneath that skirt
