your help will be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Dear that's just a blanket shawl, wrapped around the body and turned down at the top,  with buttons added. No pattern needed, just a blanket and some buttons.

Answer 2

Its next to impossible to find clothing patterns online that you dont have to buy then wait for them to come in the mail. Go to michaels, joann fabrics, or hobby lobby. They have a million patterns you can look through and you can pick out the one that looks the most like the one you are trying to make and it will tell you step by step what materials you need and what to do and theyre not expensive

Answer 3

This is simply a shawl used as a skirt.  Just go find a shawl that's similiar and instead of wearing it on ur shoulder's wear it on ur hips.  The waist banding is merely the collar folded down.  They used an open faced shawl with buttons.  Easy!  Hope this helped. Post a pic of your finished product!

Answer 4

in the picture(s) of the skirt, it looks as if the bottom seams on the sleeves and corresponding side seams were cut open, and then the sleeves were sewn in as part of the body. after that, it would just close using the buttons and button holes. that's what i'm seeing, anyway. you could probably just get an old sweater and do it just like that, so you don't even have to bother with a pattern, and it will look even closer to the original.
