First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width should be at least 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need.

- Center front piece - 2 pieces
- Side front piece – 2 pieces
- Sleeve — 2 pieces
- Collar – 2 pieces
- Front facing - 2 pieces
- Back neckline facing – 1 piece
