Simplicity patterns are easy to work with and to alter and there is a nice one in the costume section if you gander over the their site.....

I am the daughter of a seamtress. She could look at something and take your measurements and sew it up in no time.....she made anything and everything. She excelled in making men's suits and wedding gowns.....She just loved doing it. Me???? I can sew up a storm and used to make all my clothes and kids clothes, drapes etc., but it was more like a hobby to me not a passion.

LMAO at invisible zippers.....couldn't figure out how to get a dress on my mom made me years ago.....she thought she was quite funny she did. I love pants with them......men don't know what to do when up against an invisible zipper!

Lizz it is too bad you dont live here. My city is fabric store heaven. We have a whole street dedicated to fabrics and bus tours from all over come here for the deals and different choices.
