Step 1
Start from a copy of full back dress.
Draw the new neckline, shape center a bit at waist and taper at knee, then flare from center and sides.
Draw the new high-low hemline and a line parallel to it for flounce.

Asymmetric dress with knot and flounce
Let's draft the pattern for this asymmetric dress. It features a dart manipulation into a knot, an asymmetric neckline, hem with flounce and deep side slit.
It is perfect for a summer party or night out!
Sew it in crepe, cady or other drapey fabrics.
To draft the pattern, start from a basic block with zero or very little wearing ease (2 to 4cm maximum on bust, waist and hip circumferences). Choose ease according to the fabric (if it stretches a bit or not) and on the effect you like more.
You can learn our method for drafting perfectly made to measure basic blocks (contoured ones, and the ones with wearing ease) and for fitting them in our basic blocks course/module 1.
Step 2
Trace the separate pieces.
You get left and. right back dress, left and right ruffle/flounce.
Step 3
Now get a copy of full front and draw the new neckline first. On right side – where there’s no shoulder strap – widen shoulder dart by 1cm at neckline to keep dress tighter.
Taper the skirt at knee, flare it at bottom and draw the new hemline, slit and flounce line with the same measurements you used for back.
Lastly, draw the knot position at underbust and the slash lines for manipulating darts.
