Oh, my I am getting a late start on this week's inspiration. It is 9 pm central time on Thursday and I am just starting, usually I work on this all week but it has been one of those weeks.
Enough about me, let's get to the inspiration, which McCall's just helped with new patterns just released.
A shirtdress is a great one to have in your wardrobe and this Vince Camuto is gorgeous from Nordstrom's

The collar is a bit different on McCall's 7084 but I love the two skirt option.

A fun dress for now or summer, with the lace it looks very festive it is Simple to Foresee Dress from Modcloth

New Look 6262 is looking like a good one for the Modcloth dress, might have to dip out the front neckline a bit.

McCall's 7099 is very close and the back could be made like the inspiration dress, especially if you want the dramatic effect.

A casual maxi which with a sweater or jacket would work for now and then you would be ahead of the game for spring/summer. This Maxi from Nordstrom

The Sewaholic Pattern's Saltspring Dress is perfect, you could just sew the spaghetti straps in one piece and eliminate the bows at the shoulder.

One more also from Nordstrom, Marc New York by Andrew Marc

This Style Arc Darla calls for stretch fabric and the lines of the dress would allow for this trim. You would have to draft it for the side trim pieces
