le mani d'oro

My Tunic Burda 2011-06-109 is almost finished. 

I am then thinking about my next project. I want to sew a knock off this dress from Akris. Note the princess seam that starts at the neck line. Would any of you have a suggest of princess seam dress pattern, not cut at the waist line to start from? I pattern with a strait princess seam that start at the should would work well. What do you think ?
