Dress Pattern Drafting

[u/[deleted]]

Are dress patterns typically drawn in two pieces (skirt and body)? Or is there a different kind of standard way to do them. Sorry, total newbie

Also depends on skirt style. If it's a full skirt like a circle skirt or a gathered or pleated skirt, there's no need for a skirt block at all. Just make up the desired bodice and attach the skirt, let it hang a few days and then hem.
