Emelda has a babydoll silhouette with a halter neck, closed back and ruffled body/skirt. 
The top/dress is made in this order: front panel > back panel > body > skirt(dress only). With this two-in-one pattern, you can make Emelda as a top or a dress. 

This is a made to measure pattern so there is no fixed gauge. The pattern is accompanied by a spreadsheet that does the calculation for you, based on your personal gauge.
