Step 1
Trace a copy of front and back and adjust skirt length. Then reduce 2-3cm from each side at skirt hem and blend to hip line.
Redraw center back shaping it and reduce back waist dart to keep the original waist measurement.
To draft the pattern of this dress, start from a basic block with darts and small wearing ease.
You also need a matching sleeve.
Sew it in any lightweight, drapey fabric as crepe, satin, viscose...
The tutorial focuses on knot/twist manipulation and on raised shoulders for high shoulder pads - 80s are back!
Trace a copy of front and back and adjust skirt length. Then reduce 2-3cm from each side at skirt hem and blend to hip line.
Redraw center back shaping it and reduce back waist dart to keep the original waist measurement.
The shaped center back better follows the body curve 😉
On front, extend waist line outward by 3cm from center front and from this point to high shoulder point draw the V neckline.
Connect the waist point also to center front hem.
Draw a small dart 1cm wide approx halfway in front neckline up to bust point. Close this little dart and transfer its volume to shoulder dart.
See that shoulder dart now is a bit wider. Redraw a smooth line at neckline.
Separate bodice and skirt by cutting on waistline.
