I'm planning on cosplaying as Kagura Sohma from Fruits Basket at Otakon next year, and I need a little help.

Here are some screencaps of Kagura. I want to make the green dress in the top half of the page.
Screencaps

I've been looking at patterns aaaand....

6669
If you click the thumbnail, it's the bottom right... This is a shirt, but the neckline and sleeves are perfect. I'd have to make it more formfitting and add the bottom skirt section.

3739
This is a pretty cute dress, but I'd still have to make it more formfitting and puff up the sleeves a bit.

6938
Click the thumbnail... The bottom left one... I'd have to puff up the sleeves, shorten the skirt, and of course add the dreaded pleats.

So which pattern should I go with? They'd all have to be altered to add the pleats. Is there anyone who's made this costume and can give me some pointers?

I'd go with the 3739 one. It looks the most like the dress itself and formfitting the dress really wouldn't be too hard. After that you can just attach the long white sleeve part directly under the green sleeve part when your done. ^^
