Step 1
Start from full back and full front.
Redraw the armhole line 2cm inward at shoulder, then draw the asymmetrical hem.
Front drape midi dress
Let's draft together the pattern for this dress.
It has an interesting drape at front that creates an asymmetric look by manipulating dart volume.
Start from a basic block with darts and matching sleeve.
It is realized in silk satin, but other light to medium weight fabric will work.
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
Get the back and shape it from the center as shown here. Reduce darts accordingly.
Step 3
Separate the armhole pieces, then get front and draw the slash lines for the drape.
You aim at closing the existing darts and opening their volume in the new lines.
