Step 1
Trace front and back separate and adjust length to mid-calf.
Add 4cm to center back skirt for slit, then draw underbust line on both back and front and widen waist dart to 3cm at underbust, shaping it as a rocket.
Let's draft the pattern for this midi dress that features an interesting detail at bodice: it looks like a built-in vest with cape shoulder and front cutout.
To draft the pattern, start from a fitted dress (block with darts and zero to small wearing ease, we suggest max 4cm at bust). You also need a copy of matching basic sleeve.
We suggest sewing it in a medium weight woven fabric with little stretch.
Trace front and back separate and adjust length to mid-calf.
Add 4cm to center back skirt for slit, then draw underbust line on both back and front and widen waist dart to 3cm at underbust, shaping it as a rocket.
Cut through underbust line to separate bodice and skirt on back and front.
On front, draw the slash line for curved side panel ending at armhole, then draw a slash line from bust point to side panel for manipulating shoulder dart.
Get the sleeve and cut it through middle line. Align sleeve to bodice matching notches section on back and front.
