If you want a dress, it's very easy to take one of the many existing dress patterns and make some changes. I try to find a pattern that's pretty close to what I'm looking for (hopefully at a $1 pattern sale at JoAnns [img]biggrin.gif[/img] ) and then modify it.
Of course, a real expert can actually "draft" her or his own patterns, but that's a whole other kettle of fish.
Good luck! I'll be watching this thread too. [img]smile.gif[/img]
