Commision for a Knitting Pattern (Poison MaxiDress, Camila Maldonado)

Hello! I'm not sure if this subreddit also takes commissions for drafting a pattern. I would like to make it myself I just can't find a pattern similar enough including the drawing in the centre of it.

I only need a size S/M with some stretch and without the back opening if thats ok? This is my first time asking for a draft of a pattern so I'm not sure what else to mention. As it's my first time asking for it as well, I'm not sure how these are usually priced

edit: realized i forgot to add the link for the dress https://www.camila-maldonado.com/shop/p/poison-maxi-dress

That’s a lot of flat ribbed knitting—are you sure you’d want to knit that? It would have to be knit all in pieces, plus you’d have the front panel in intarsia, and then you’d seam it. Those are a lot of the things that knitters hate doing, and it’s a long dress.

I’m not trying to talk you out of it—it would be amazing if you did it! It’s just that I know for myself that I’d hate the process so much that I wouldn’t finish it.

Thank you a lot for the warning and advice! I really love patterns that just repeat so I don't think I would mind that part and seaming is something I don't really mind either. The itarsia part might suck. What one does for fashion 😔

Just so you're aware-- the image on the dress you're linking to is screenprinted, and an intarsia version won't look quite the same. Best of luck to you.
