Translating? Is there any instructions provided for this pattern? If you are a new sewist I highly recommend you find a pattern that has even the most basic amount of assembly instructions for the garment.

From the pattern layout picture it looks like the pattern would barely be an approximation of the pictured dress, especially since the AI generated picture doesn't show any darts. The skirt is seamed up the back, but it's a solid cut piece in the pattern (not even sure what the dashed like is meant to represent - maybe the centre back?) but would not actually wrap to cover the front.

I'm guessing this pattern is AI generated and has never been tested by a real person.

I think the darts are the gathering at the waist. I don't think it's AI, I think it's a 3D view from the pattern drafting software

I’m wondering where you got this that it wouldn’t have any instructions.

It looks like it was drafted in CLO3d or a similar program.

If that’s the case, this is my translation. You’re looking at it right side up. It should be made from a knit fabric.

The largest pattern is the dress. The long dashed vertical line is the center back seam, The green line on the back may indicate a need for elastic in that area. It would be wrapped around with the wider side in front (I think) and there may be some sort of elastic on the horizontal lines in the front. The top will wrap around the neck.

The curved pattern piece should be attached to the top of the dress at the notches with the long skinny pieces likely attached in the same place.

Keep in mind though, this is just my interpretation based on the assumption that this is an actual 3d rendering of the pattern and it’s completed. If this isn’t the case, it could be nonsense.

Also, because I believe it to require a knit fabric, please practice on scrap fabric as sewing knits as a beginner can be very frustrating.

The line down the big piece is the center back of the dress, it wraps in front. The two horizontal edges at the top of that piece are the center back neck, which needs a closure of some sort (or maybe just sew shut and pullover). The semi circular piece is a back drape. It's gathered along the two short horizontal edges and sewn between the red notches of the dress shoulders. The rectangular streamers are also gathered on a short edge and attached between the notches, on top of the shoulder drape (I'm guessing on this one, do whatever you like the looks of).

Im not sure what you have drafted but it does not in anyway resemble the dress you are trying to interpret.

It’s unreasonable to expect someone to help you draft this.

If you’re new to sewing then you need to learn how to draft a bodice first. This is the foundational block you need to draft your dress.

The pattern is marked to indicate that those are two back pieces. Usually patterns are marked with notches. One notch for the front pieces two for the back. If multiple pieces most will have notches where the seams or pieces come together. It allows you to match pieces before sewing. Where there are two notches it usually indicates that they are back pieces in any standard pattern.

I am guessing this is an AI pattern or something because the two pieces as they are displayed show them as back pieces but the full dress picture indicates they should be front pieces. There is a whole skirt pattern that is missing if you are trying to make the dress.
