Hello there.let me try. People have different means of arriving at the same thing. Below is my version hope it helps. first get your bodice block and your sleeve block.like below

In drafting your blocks ensure that the armhole is equal to the sleeve cap measurement. That is A to B = k to L.
The red dashes represent notches to align the armhole to sleeve cap when sewing.

STEP 1
Point D is at a level where you want the deepest part of your neckline (about 5" from the base of front neck) .
Point A to C= about 3" or 4" depending on how off the shoulder you want it. Measuring along the curve of the armhole.

STEP 2
Points K to M = the measurement of A to C. This about 3 to 4 inches measuring along the curve of the sleeve cap.
Square a line from Point M to meet the centre line of the sleeve. See picture above.

STEP 3
Discard the upper parts of both patterns then you will have something like the image below

In the following instructions note that I have wrongfully labelled the point opposite Point M as Point K. It isn't point K as we have discarded the part that has point K. It is a mistake I made that I didn't see on time.

STEP 4 (picture below)
Shorten your sleeve to required length.

STEP 5
Treat your front bodice the way you do when you want to cut Bustier ( bosom cut or whatever it is called) by inserting a dart from neckline to the Bust Apex. This dart will give shape to the front bodice and tighten the front neckline.

Cut away the darts so that you will have two pattern pieces for the front indicated by the shaded area.

When you cut you will have something like below. align the notches when sewing.

For the back you follow steps 1 to 3. Point D at the back being the lowest part of the back neckline.
To tighten the back neckline take out a dart of about 3/8 of an inch. This dart will merge with the usual waist dart rather than end at the bust apex. This is because the back is relatively flat and we do not want to create a cup. Another way of explaining this is that we increase the length of our waist dart to reach where the neckline is, and instead of tapering it to zero, we taper it to about 3/8 of an inch.

We then cut out the dart so we can have 2 pattern pieces for the back as well. See pictures below

Wheeeh! This has been a long and time taking post. I hope you find it helpful.
