Pixie dress

I need to buy or make an adult pixie outfit for a party. I'd like a dress really, but anything would do right now!

I would prefer to make one (as I can only find expensive ones to buy atm), but can't find any kind of pattern.

I can adapt a pattern if anyone has suggestions, I want to make it in a cotton/lycra jersey type fabric, and it needs to have a fitted(not overly shaped though, I need it simple) top, flowing out from or just below the hips. I am hopeless at searching for patterns, so maybe someone out there already knows of one they can point me to?

Or maybe some lovely person knows of a 'pixie wardrobe' pattern set- unlikely I know

Thanks!

I've got a long purple one. They're nicely taylored too.

Spidermama, I like those pointy ears!And those coats are very cute, I'm tempted by one of those.

Moonmother, I like that dress, they have some nice stuff on there.

Geordieminx, that's not bad actually, it's my new back up plan.

Flyme, that 2nd one I like, but I don't think it's pixie enough?

I know I'm making a big old fuss about what is essentially a fancy dress outfit, but I do love pixie fashiontoo, and thought I might get something wearagainable out of it.
Also, everyone else there is richish and arty, so they will all have fabulous costumes.

I had really hoped to find some patterns for the type of things at lotus moon etc, for future use too- I mean, there must be a pattern somewhere surely?
