Step 1
Make a pattern for the base of the dress according to your measurements. Save this standard pattern and should always be handy for those who love to sew. Mark the length of the vest with a horizontal line 5–8 cm below the waist.
Step 2
Take the backrest drawing. Make the sprout deeper and wider. From the sprout along the line of the middle of the back, set aside 6-10 cm and draw a horizontal line, this will be the line of the yoke. From it along the armhole set aside 1, 5-2 cm down, connect the resulting point with the middle of the yoke line.
Step 3
Take the drawing of the front. Expand the neck. Add a 2–3 cm allowance for the buttons. Use a smooth or straight line to connect the half-crotch for the buttons and the neckline on the shoulder cut. Draw the line of the yoke, for this measure along the line of the armhole, the neckline and the left side of the dart 6-9 cm and connect the points obtained with a straight line along the ruler.

Add relief lines. To do this, divide the yoke line in half from the dart to the armhole. Connect the marked point with the upper point of the chest, continue the line to the dart at the waist. Draw the bottom of the front with a smooth curve.
Step 5
Number all the resulting parts so as not to get confused when cutting.

Cut the patterns along the relief and yoke lines.
