Let's draft the pattern for this interesting dress. Its dart manipulation is into an asymmetric volume held in position by side buttons - it's a good pattern exercise.
An additional detail is the high-low hemline.
You can sew it in any fabric, from scuba to stretch crepe or cady, to ponte or jersey. Just make sure to stabilize buttonhole area before opening them ;)
To draft the pattern, start from a basic block with darts and appropriate ease to the fabric you use – we suggest minimum 4cm at bust for a stretch fabric, minimum 8cm for non stretch fabric.
Trace the full front, then draw slash line for side panel on right side and waist dart on it.
Cut through slash line, separate main front piece and side panel, then draw some slash lines on main piece:
Cut through first and last lines of lower section.
Close waist dart on the waist to hip section and on the upper part.
Then cut through slash lines ending at bust points and close both shoulder darts.
