Could you please help me to make a pattern of this dress?

Dear Dresslover,

Below you can find an edited version of your picture. I drew some red lines and labelled them to help explain what you need to do to draft a pattern for this dress.

To get the same shape and look to your dress as the pictured dress, you need to cut your fabric on a bias.

All the red lines I have drawn on the dress indicate the seam lines.

Use the bodice and skirt block pattern video lessons to draft your own dress block pattern.

The C seam is taking the place of the waist darts on the bodice and skirt patterns. This seam has absorbed their intakes.

To create the pleats you see in the center front of the dress, you need to draw 3 lines from the center front line of the bodice block pattern to the bust point with about 3 cm distance between them. Then cut these lines, close the bust dart and then fan out the cut lines.

The E seam, C seam and side seam form a separate piece on the sides of the dress.

For the sleeve you need to extend out the shoulder lines to draft the top of the sleeve. The under arm section of the sleeve is drafted like a set-in sleeve.

I hope this helps you.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
