Start from a basic block with darts. redraw armhole and neckline wider, then draw the curved princess cut on both back and front.
Redraw the waist darts slanted.
Trace the two back pieces separately discarding the new dart.
Remember to add notches on the curved line to make sewing easier.
Do the same for front, remember to close the shoulder dart.
Trace the waist insert separately.
Your new pattern is ready!!
