Let's draft the pattern for this shirt dress.
It features drop shoulder, oversized pockets and cuffs and it is fitted at the waist due to some pleats.
Start from a basic block without darts and a matching basic sleeve.
This version is stitched in cotton popeline - but any shirt fabric will work, or you can sew different versions in light to medium weight fabrics. The same pattern could also be used to sew something like a trenchcoat!
Start from a copy of your basic block.
On back and front do as follows:
Focus on shoulder tip: Shape the shoulder sligthly by dropping 1cm on back and 2cm on front.
Redraw the shoulder line on both pieces.
