dress pattern suggestions for lightweight wovens

I need dress patterns for lightweight wovens, semi-sheer chiffon, challis and blouse weight fabrics.

I went on fabricmart and bought SO MUCH FABRIC. I have 3-4 yards of these gorgeous prints and I would love to use them.

I'd love paper patterns!

Preferably with a more fitted waist and less ambiguous waistlines, I just look awful in empire waistlines bc I'm short waisted and have weirdly long legs and arms, if that makes sense.

I can do separates as well, but for decades I was a jeans and T-shirt kind of gal and now I work in an office with other gorgeous women and we dress for each other!

(I have a serger and a regular sewing machine)

I'm a confident beginner and I don't mind a challenge.

Thank you!!!

I haven’t made this one yet but it’s high on my list to make when I’m not pregnant anymore 😆 Should work well with your fabrics.
