Hi guys,

I'm new to sewing and even newer to PatternReview.com, but I've found the site extremely helpful in sorting through the myriad pattern choices. I have a major affinity for making dresses and I have one in mind that I'd like to make, but no pattern... Hoping for help from some more experienced sewers, I come to you all!

I would like to make a halter dress that's really simple and sexy (backless perhaps) but with a great-looking neck piece: beaded like this one

or maybe something exotic that almost looks like a necklace such as this


I haven't had any success locating a pattern from the major companies (McCall, Vogue, etc.) that fits this description. Maybe it's just not a design conducive to a pattern...but I hope that's not the case. Are there independent pattern companies that might be worth checking out?

Like I said, I'm a newbie, but I would love any input you may have.

Thanks so much!
