To draft the pattern of this dress, start by drafting a basic block with darts and zero ease allowance.
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.
Mirror both back and front for the asymmetrical style.
Draw the neckline, shorten the shoulder by 1-1,5cm and widen the shoulder dart by 1 cm at the neckline on the non shoulder side, then draw the cuts as you see in the photo to manipulate darts and create the drape.
On the skirt, flare a bit both sides and draw the flounce line.
Trace the front cutting through all slash lines from the center outwards, close the existing darts and add some volume (4-6cm) in each space.
Fill the pattern extending the areas marked in red.
Trace the separate pieces: back dress, front dress, front side panel (keeping the original grain), then draw the flounce with the measurement taken from the new hem at step 1.
