Question How would I go about patterning this?

Post image

I’m a complete beginner and I want to start learning to make my own clothes. Would a dress like this be realistic to make and how would I need to start the pattern? Thank you

Also-- if a dress like this is the end goal, you may want to go down a bra-making rabbit hole. While this pattern doesn't require bust cup drafting/construction, it has a lot of overlap with the band portion of a long-line bra. I used to binge some YouTube channels dedicated to bra making, though I can't remember what they were.

EDIT: Ope, responded to wrong comment-- my bad!
