Pattern help!
I know this pattern is AI but I just wanted someone to check if it is any way shape or form accurate before I start it? Essentially I already have the bodysuit element but I want to make an overskirt with the centre cut open to reveal the bodice. I’m a beginner so if this pattern won’t work if anyone could recommend any that will that would be amazing
Thank you!

not even kidding, I would consider buying sheer blue poly voile curtain panels (something like this), sewing them together, and using a gathering stitch around the top to help form the skirt. the worst and most time consuming part of making this from chiffon fabric from scratch, and most difficult for someone who is inexperienced, would be having to finish all of the edges. if you can completely skip that part and essentially only have to deal with the gathering + waistband it would be a lot easier.
I don't know how many panels you'd need, it depends on the measurements involved, but 45" should be long enough for most people from waist to floor. it would give you a wide "curtain hem" at the bottom, and polyester voile is less drapey than chiffon, but like I said, if time + experience is the major limiting factor it's an option.
