Step 1
First, mirror front to have the full frame.
Then draw the underbust line and widen waist darts at underbust to fit it.
Let's spice up the pencil dress with this asymmetric cut and side inserts that create some sort of waves.
The added volume is a nice accent to a basic style. You can sew it in any light to medium weight fabric - either you find something a bit stiff or crisp, otherwise you can add an interlining providing structure.
To draft the pattern, start from a basic block with darts and minimum wearing ease (4cm at bust circumference, 2-4cm at waist one, 2 at hip one).
First, mirror front to have the full frame.
Then draw the underbust line and widen waist darts at underbust to fit it.
Draw half a cirle on left side of front, the center of it on left point of waistline.
Choose the radius as you prefer, we suggest something like 5 to 7cm.
Divide the circumference in 19 even sections and number the points you get from 1 to 9.
