Looking for Girls size 4 -5 Peasant Dress pattern...any suggestions?

I saw one on etsy that I really liked,

 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_1&listing_id=21176898&ga_search_query=peasant+dress+with+pocket&ga_search_type=tag_title

I would love to be able to make it myself.  Any suggestions for a pattern?

Thanks.

Thanks.  Do you happen to have any pictures of the ones you made from the pj pattern?  I would never have thought of that:)

Here is the long sleeve verson that the girls had to have to play in Smiley  It was a test sew to see if I liked the pattern.  There are several options on the sleeves.  I have some cute fabric I want to do the short sleeve one with.  I got the pattern at Hancock's when they had the 99 cent sale.  Worth a try for $1 to see if it is what you want.  I'll get a photo of short sleeve too if you want.

Those are really cute.  My daughter would LOVE that fabric.  Thanks so much!

Here is one more pattern I noticed I have in my stash but haven't used.  They all end up being pretty close looking.  Simplicity 5695, it is the tired peasant dress and the one with a ruffle.  I haven't used it yet but plan on it for the spring.  All short sleeve.

here is a free peasant blouse pattern online that you could lengthen to make a dress:

Thanks everyone!  I am kind of afraid to do the PDF file.  Has anyone used one of those?

I love this pattern!  Easy instructions...easy to sew.

Actually, the nice thing about those PDF's is that they come with lots of pictures and clear beginners instructions. Also, the designers are always available to answer questions.
I personally prefer PDF patterns over regular ones Cheesy

I second the handmade dress suggestion. It's one of my FAVORITE patterns. I also LOVE PDF patterns.... Don't be scared of them.... They're easy. Check out sewsensible.blogspot.com. My friend, Aimee' has some GREAT PDF patterns.....

I also like the Handmade Dress "Miss Madeline".  It can be made with or without the waistband and can be made with longer sleeves (free tut for long-sleeves on her website). 

VegBee's free tutorial here http://indietutes.blogspot.com/2007/07/peasant-blouse.html  is another good one to start with...I think someone above had already noted this too. 

I started with traditional patterns, but have found the online tutorials and PDFs are easier for me.  I"m more visual and like having the extra pictures to help me along.  Peasant tops/dresses are so easy and cute...good luck!  I've made many and feel free to check them out on my blog:  www.luscofamily.blogspot.com
