I am posting here the basic dress block with the shoulder darts moved to the armhole and a half sleeve. The basic dress block with shoulder darts and long sleeve has been posted on my blog here. I am calling it dress block #1.
I plan to make some tutorial on pattern drafting, and that’s why I am going to post all the basic dress blocks with the darts moved around so that you can download whatever pattern you want and draft along – just to save you a lot of time drafting the basic blocks. And to save you some more time, I removed the seam allowance. You will not need to cut it off like the basic dress block #1 before starting to modify the pattern to your ideas.
This block has the front darts moved to armhole, and back shoulder darts removed. Although it is a basic dress block, you can also sew it into a sheath dress. It still looks really nice! I still make the kick pleat so that anyone who wants to make a dress from this block can use them if you want. Just add seam allowance, and it is ready to go!
PLEASE REMEMBER: THIS BASIC DRESS BLOCK DOES NOT HAVE SEAM ALLOWANCE! ADD SEAM ALLOWANCE BEFORE YOU SEW!
The pattern is created in pdf format using A4 paper. I can also create the pattern in other paper sizes (A0 to A4, Letter, Tabloid), so please inform me if you need them.
Print the patterns on A4 paper at actual size/no scaling/100%. Not sure how to print and cut the patterns? Check the guide here.
Do you want to add side seam pockets to the pattern for additional convenience? Just go ahead because it is too easy, just follow the quick instruction here.
Again, happy sewing! I look forward to seeing your masterpiece!

Cutting instruction:
After taping down all the pages following the instruction, the overall layout of the pattern pieces is much like this (the arrangement of pattern pieces will vary a bit with sizes because I want to utilize all space to result in least number of pages):
The cutting instruction is for the garment with facings. If you choose to sew it with bias binding, skip the front facing and back facing pieces. If you choose to sew with bodice lining, skip the facing pieces and cut a set of front and back pieces in lining fabric.
A. Front - 1pcs
B. Back - 2pcs
C. Sleeve - 2pcs
D. Front Facing – 1pcs + Fusible Interfacing – 1pcs
E. Back Facing – 2pcs + Fusible Interfacing – 2pcs
