See, that dress is just one example of why I would be perfectly happy making ALL of my own clothing from now on!

I wish I could help you, but the only advice I can give is to just go out and find patterns of anything that has the faux corset with it. I've noticed a lot of Wal-Mart's patterns are very modern, and I've even seen at least something close to what you're needing. Of course, the patterns are really all wal-Mart has to offer as far as that goes. Their fabric selection, however...

I would love to see the finished project, too! biggrin
