Front twist dress

Let's draft the pattern for this amazing dress.

The perfect fabric is something lightweight, breezy and drapey as silk satin. Viscose and crepe would also give similar results.

The starting point is a basic block with darts and wearing ease minimum 10cm on bust circumference. You will also need a basic sleeve.

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 1

Start from a copy of your bodice with darts.

Draw the slash lines for manipulating both front darts to center front at waist.

Step 2

Cut through the slash line and close both darts (waist and shoulder one).

Step 3

Fill the gap you get – this amount gives the front drape.
