i made this dress recently. i modified Malissa pattern from BurdaStyle.
i just cut the front panel in three: top, waist band and skirt. top and skirt are gathered with elastics, and added keyhole detail in front. thats it! pretty simple:)

my malissa variation
Burdastyle had a Malissa variation contest about a month ago. i printed out the pattern, bought the fabric and i was going to enter the contest, but couldnt make the deadline. here i am, a month later, just finished malissa!
i cut out the front pattern in half. upper half is for the front panel, and down half is for the skirt. then i added wide waist band. i used the same for back, for back, i omitted a little keyhole detail. its so easy! i only needed 3 pattern pieces for this.
fabric is blue spandex mix stretch knit. 
another dress
after making the pea coat, this dress came so much easier. it only took me like 2 hours to finish. made of poly mix stretch knit i found from jomar the other day. it was only $1 a yard!
although its cheap, i love the fabric.. its so soft and i like the color a lot. i modify this dress a bit to make it.
