Mother-in-law top or dress?

I mentioned in an earlier post that my mother-in-law gave me a burgundy cardigan for christmas and I love it because its elegant and warm! It's winter here in Montreal and everything warm that people give me it's very welcomed!!
Here's the cardigan.

I love the 2 golden zippers. It gives it a cute and trendy embellishment. I purchased 2 different fabrics to make something to wear with it but haven't decided yet. 

This a flowered one ( my number 1)

And the other fabric

 I like this one too , but the other has more warm tones.

Another question is, do I make a dress or a top? 

And what pattern do I use? 

I'm starting to have sewing anxiety...do you have suggestions? 

I know I can always ask my husband but I have talked so much about sewing and patterns etc etc that recently he started falling asleep while I talk.

Thanks to God I discovered a sewing community in the Pattern Review site and now I can talk all I want about my obsession passion. And blogging too, it's so much fun to talk about sewing and fabrics and patterns.

Well I gotta go find the perfect pattern for this fabrics.. will be posting the finished garments here. 

See you soon!!
