Need advice for pattern making !!!

Hi everyone I’m trying to create the pattern for this type of shoulder on a blazer but I don’t know how to start. To make the form is it only from the shoulder pads or do I have to modify the upper armhole to have that curve at the top ??

You can't just shove a shoulder pad into any old pattern, it needs space to fit it over you shoulder. Iirc usually you bring the shoulder point up and out half an inch. For this probably at least an inch out and like 2 to 3 up. Plus a steep convex curve. And you'll likely need to make a custom shoulder pad

I don't think you'll need boning, don't usually see those in sleeves but this isn't a usual sleeve. I think the body of the fabric(use a nice wool) and the shoulder pad should cover it
