Put on some music if that helps you think, or even watch a fashion program to help you decide what style you want. You could even flip through a fashion magazine (Chatelaine, Elle, and Cosmopolitan are great) for ideas.
Collect your supplies and decide if you are going to draw a sleeveless, long, short, spaghetti strap, strapless, or three quarter length sleeve (long sleeve and strapless are simple).
Make sure you're drawing on lined paper so you have guidelines and a better sense of proportion. Later, you can draw the sketch on plain paper.
Start with a basic shoulder sketch. It doesn't have to be fancy -- you can always go back and fix things later. Right now, your goal is to get your idea on paper. Details come afterwards.
Draw a curved line. This will be the top of your top/dress.
Then draw two thin lines coming down for the corners.
Go down the page where the waist will be and do a slight inward curve to show that the model has a figure. Have a figure so it's more fitted. Fitted outfits are more flattering than clothes that hang on you like a sack. You can draw sack like baggy clothes if you want to.
Do the bottom of your top/dress however you want. You could make it long or short, lacy or regular, hemmed or not hemmed, angled or straight.
