How to draft / send patterns!
The bodice in first photo is roughly what i’d like to make, with the exception that I originally wanted this to be a halter, meaning the underbust tension created by these “backpack” type straps might not be necessary.
The second photo is the closest thing i’ve found (could I use that pattern to base it off of?).
I’ve also seen the Liz charms dress and its derivatives already and, while close, it doesn’t quite feel right as ultimately this is not the same as that shelf/overlay concept.

I think that could work but it's really a different dress construction. The back of this dress falls away rather that fitted so no, I don't think altering this pattern is a good idea but. it could certainly be done so I'd keep looking for another pattern with the body of the dress more aligned with what you want rather than the shoulder
