This is the Farah Stretch Canvas Shift Dress by Layette 148 New York. Price tag: $498.00.
At a mere glance this is a basic shift. However upon closer inspection, you will see that there is a yoke front and back, seaming around the high hip area, large patch pockets with zippers, and an exposed zipper. I'm not so sure that those pockets are functional.
As far as patterns go, if you made a basic shift dress it would probably be just as easy to alter the pattern by adding the yokes and seaming. Remember once the dress is fitted, you can make changes. Check the suggested patterns for the Basic Shift Dress.
I did find one shift dress pattern with blocking but no sleeves:
This is Vogue 1382. The basic seaming is there and it also has bodice shaping. It's missing the sleeves but it could be used to create the look.
Happy Stitching!
