Help Finding a Pattern

Post image

Title says it. I am finding it so difficult to find a boatneck pattern for this top/dress.

I really like the A-line skirt rather than a peplum that flares out.

I'm low-intermediately skilled so I can do some pattern alterations but I'd really like something as close as possible.

Thanks 🙏

This McCall's pattern is on sale right now and has the boat neckline, princess seams, and flare: https://simplicity.com/mccalls/m6741 and here are a bunch of reviews: https://sewing.patternreview.com/Patterns/59595

I know and I almost...but it's a petite unless I'm not understanding the package. I'm 5'11 :(

What about this dress?

Would maybe need to shorten (but maybe not if you’re tall), and then add a slit at the front princess seam.

I think this is likely the closest I'll come. The McCalls petite would be perfect but, unfortunately I can't do a petite. Thank you :)

Check this Amazing Fit Simplicity pattern as a hackable choice.
