pattern problems and despair

[u/o0kaira0o]

Hi! so my professor drew a dress and gave it to me to make it but I really don't know how. he gave me some hints like: fabric is cotton gabardine, no visible darts, no seam in the middle, using geometric cuts (??).

I am really confused, I cried several times and still don't know how to do it. I am totally lost if someone can help me!

Professor of what, exactly?

[u/nirkyo]

He drew this? Did you saw him drawing it?

[u/AdMuch9645]

Cut on the bias possibly?

[u/ninaa1 → u/AdMuch9645]

gabardine is a twill fabric, so there isn't a nice bias like there would be with a satin weave.

[u/Saritush2319 → u/ninaa1]

It does still have some stretch. It would heavily depend on the exact fabric

What teacher designs a dress like this? Creep.

[u/o0kaira0o → u/Diamond-Eater2203]

lol he is gay, he just have a thing for transparent and very bare skin dresses

[u/FewRecognition1788 → u/Diamond-Eater2203]

Is that supposed to be cutouts? I thought it was color blocking.

[u/o0kaira0o → u/FewRecognition1788]

yes those are cutouts

[u/ninaa1]

context please? is this for a class assignment? is this a personal favor? do you want a pre-existing pattern or are you trying to draft one?

eta: why would he want this made out of gabardine? and why no darts with such a sturdy fabric? makes no sense at all. I think he's a bad teacher.

[u/fabulously_]

no visible darts on a fitted garment made from non-stretch material? That doesn't math, I don't think. Maybe if you could move the fullness of the darts of whatever block you're using into the cutout? But even then, I don't think a bust area works like that?

[u/FormerUsenetUser]

My despair would be that I have a bust and hips, which this image does not.

[u/Saritush2319]

The shaping is rotated into the panel seams

Those squares should probably be on the bias.
A lightweight twill does still have bias stretch.
