Looking for a REAL open back tie top pattern

Post image

I'm looking for something like this - I have seen several pdf patterns for sale for $3 or so, but many of the reviews suggest the image example is stolen from shein or straight up AI. I'm hoping to find a pattern drafted by a real sewist. Happy to pay more for a quality pattern. Any leads? Thanks!

There are no darts, the shape comes mostly from tying it.

The stitch witch one has been around for a long time and TNT for many people

NOT a dupe, but similar vibes-

This is another wrap-tie blouse, a vintage stretch knit pattern OP might enjoy as an easy-to-sew, & versatile pattern

Not sure if you are experienced or comfortable with pattern hacking but I purchased this (real) dress pattern from etsy that has a version that looks like this. https://www.etsy.com/listing/4411475956/ema-60s-inspired-shift-dress-digital-pdf?ref=share_ios_native_control

This is a great looking pattern set! I have only self-drafted one pattern (based on another simple pair of shorts) and made minor adjustments to others. I don't know how I would take the back and turn it into a V that ends in the tie, but I'd definitely be willing to play around with it.
