Can you help me find a sewing pattern

Hi everyone, I'm searching for a pattern for a dress / tunic and I wonder if you have any suggestions.
The one pictured is a child's denim dress but I'd like to make something similar in an adult size, not necessarily in denim. The dress pictured has about 6 vertical pieces. I've searched but not seen anything suitable. If you have any suggestions, I'd be really grateful!

Thank you both! The Style Arc patterns are close to what I'm looking for, but I would like to find a V neck ( I wouldn't have the skills to alter that myself). I also like the A-Line shape and the vertical panel style...
I'll keep searching!!! Thanks again

Style Arc also have one called Esther, which has the right neckline at the front, but is also v neck at the back. It also has darts at the bust, which I'm not sure whether you wanted.

I also think the Fibre Mood Gabby dress could work for you if you made it without sleeves. https://thefoldline.com/products/fibre-mood-gabby-dress?_pos=46&_fid=a8da56c8b&_ss=c

I've made this one for myself, with sleeves, and it's pretty straightforward. Bear in mind that it's a Dutch company so the clothes are designed for tall people, you may have to take the hem up a lot.

Fibre Mood Gabby Dress

Buy the Gabby Dress sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. Meet Gabby, with the ‘G’ from ‘good time’ and ‘graceful’. And it does it all without extravagant details. This dress has a wonderful drape. The triangular insert (godet) at the front is an eye-catcher...

The Jennifer Lauren Handmade - ivy pinafore is the right shape. It would be easy to reshape neckline into a v

Or actually the Helen's Closet - York pine fire would work too. X

Thank you all so much for all your suggestions. They are all close but not quite right. I really want to find something with the 6 vertical panel shape of the original, meaning 2 seams running down the front. I really appreciate all your ideas though, thank you again xxx

Sorry, that should be 3 seams at the front!

You can create the centre seam by not cutting on the fold and inserting seam allowances. The other two seams are princess seams, so you need to look for a princess seam tunic with a v neck.

This is the closest I can find to what I'm looking for. I would sew the centre seam instead of the buttons. It's not A-line or v necked, so I'll keep it on the back burner for now. Thanks again everyone for all your suggestions xx
