This shirt pattern is an example of a really good starting point. Its a commercial pattern from New Look (number 5368).
It has some really nice lolita-esque elements like the puffy sleeves and ruffles. Here is a excellent reason for checking the diagrams - it also has a lovely lace-up back! I decided to make this in a basic black cotton with pre-gathered lace for the ruffles.

All in this was a good start and cost very little, the plain black polycotton was less than £2 a meter.
Thanks for pointing out this pattern, I was looking for something like this! It's New Look #6599 in the U.S.
