Fabric & Materials
Fabric recommendations: crepe (main fabric), satin (matching the crepe). Also needed: fusible interfacing, 1 button.
CUTTER'S MUST
IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE INCLUDED. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, THE PATTERNS DO NOT INCLUDE SEAM ALLOWANCES. SEAM ALLOWANCES: all seams – 1cm. ATTENTION! FIRST, PRINT OUT THE PAPER PATTERNS AND LAY THEM OUT ON THE FABRIC WIDTH (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MATERIAL YOU WILL NEED (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). According to the designer's intention, the lining is made of satin and exactly repeats the contour of the main fabric patterns. All main fabric pieces are interfaced with fusible interfacing.

Sewing Instructions
WHEN STITCHING PIECES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES - THEY MUST MATCH!

- Stitch the center and side back pieces, as well as the center seam. Press seams towards the center.
- Stitch the right and left front pieces. Stitch the collar pieces along the center edge: right and left upper collar, upper and under collar. Attach the under collar to the right front piece along the front vertical edge. Finish the under collar with the upper collar, turn pieces right side out and press. Attach the collar to the back and front. Attach the yoke to the collar attachment seam.
