Step 1
First, mirror front to have the full frame.
Then draw the underbust line and widen waist darts at underbust to fit it.

Asymmetric dress with weaves
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).
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. You will learn in depth also how to manipulate darts, add volumes and a lot of pattern transformations that will take your pattern making skills to a higher level.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Divide the circumference in 19 even sections and number the points you get from 1 to 9.
