Satin J. Crew Dress Inspiration

Lately I've been browsing sites like J. Crew and Anthropologie. I don't know why, considering I can't afford anything there. But I guess it's just for inspiration. I want to try and make this dress by J. Crew one day, maybe for a special occasion.

I can use this pattern on Burdastyle...

And instead of the pleating, I can add a center panel using this technique (because I'm lazy and don't want to try and figure out the pleating on the bodice from the original).

Then for the bottom, I'll just add a pleated skirt.
