Step 1
Start by tracing a full copy of basic front.
Let's draft the pattern for this midi dress. Flounce and side drape give a formal look, but you can sew a more casual version using a medium weight knit as ponte or interlock.
To draft the pattern, start from a basic block with darts and appropriate wearing ease (we suggest minimum 8cm at bust for non stretch, light to medium weight woven fabrics and 4 to 6cm ease at bust for medium weight knits).
Start by tracing a full copy of basic front.
Draw the right side panel this way:
Redraw the waist dart onto the new slash line, then cut through the line.
Separate front and side front panel.
On both of them, draw some evenly distributed slash lines (one is waistline, then 2 lines above it and 2 below) all the way to the side seam.
On main piece, close right shoulder dart by cutting a short line up to bust point.
