Looking for a similar sewing pattern

[WisestIsShe]

I've seen a top I like the look of but it's £50 which I can't really justify at the moment. It seems quite a simple shape so I had the idea I could make one or possibly two if it went well . It's a tunic with a couple of pleats at the front.

Does anyone have any ideas of where I could source a similar pattern?

What about this one?

@clairethewitch70 thanks! I really like the shape the pleats give though. I have found this one, what do you think? I wish there was a picture of the longer version. here

This one is quite nice but it isn't really a pattern, it starts off 'draw around an existing t shirt or bodice pattern'. I think I need an actual pattern I'm not confident enough.

I'd probably just use a basic t-shirt pattern for the top half and then cut it to the right length and add on the tunic bit, which will basically be a long rectangle with the two pleats at the front. Would you feel confident enough doing that?

@Nowisthemonthofmaying when you or it like that it sounds simple! Previously I've stuck to making dresses for DD when she was little, curtains etc and only trousers for me. I've heard that fitting darts round the busy can be tricky so was hoping for a paper pattern. I suppose I could buy a simple top pattern and change the bottom as you suggest. Thanks.

*bust, obviously

must learn to proof read

It’s a lovely style and I like the pleats.
As it is jersey, the fitting around the bust should be quite easy, no darts!
This pattern looks similar to the top part and instead of the wide hem band you can just add a rectangle with two pleats.

I love that style
