This dress is packed with interesting details: an open neckline, shaped shoulder straps, statement sleeves and a front twist in the skirt. So many pattern techniques together!
Plus, if you sew it in a special fabric as this one you get a perfect piece for holiday season!
To draft the pattern, start from a basic block with darts.
Mirror front to have it full, adjust skirt length, then reduce 3cm at hemline to taper skirt a bit.
On front, draw the pointy line where you want bodice and skirt to meet – to shape the line, extend right waist dart by 3 to 5cm.
Get back and erase dart first by taking in 2cm from center back and 1cm from side seam.
Then draw back neckline and back shoulder strap.
Cut through all lines to identify the 2 back pieces and draw the grainline parallel to original center back on both of them.
Now get the basic sleeve, taper it and shorten it to 3/4.
