Step 1
First cut through the waistline to separate bodice and skirt on both back and front.
- A-line gown ,
- Dress ,
- Occasion dress ,
Open back flared dress
A sexy dress for a night out! Grab a medium weight silk satin (or crepe if you prefer non-shiny fabrics) and get ready for a quick but super satisfying make!
To draft the pattern, start from a basic block with darts and zero wearing ease (a contoured block).
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 2
Then draw slash line on both skirt pieces from dart apex to the hemline, perpendicular to it.
Cut through the lines to close waist darts and manipulate their volume into the flare.
Step 3
Add 5 to 8cm flare to the side of back and front skirt.
Trace a copy of both pieces with the additional volume.
