DIYing A Betsey Johnson Set - Cardigan & Slip Dress

Hi everyone!

Glad to have joined this sub as I start my crochet journey more seriously.

I saw this vintage BJ set circulating online but the price is understandably sky high and I’d like to take a crack at crocheting it. My difficulty is with finding certain patterns online and identifying stitches I should use for it. More specifically if some could give me some pointers on:

- are the main body stitches (pic 2) double or treble crochet?

- does anyone have any stitch names or tutorial recs for the mesh-like weave at the sleeves of the sweater?

- what the heck should I be googling as I learn to make the zig zag, witchy bottom of the dress (seriously is there a name for it)?

Thank you all very much, hopefully I’ll be able to Frankenstein this successfully!
