ATTENTION! FIRST, PRINT OUT THE PAPER PATTERNS AND LAY THEM OUT ON THE FABRIC WIDTH (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MATERIAL YOU WILL NEED (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

- Upper back part – 2 pieces
- Lower back part - 2 pieces
- Upper front part - 1 piece on fold
- Lower front part – 1 piece on fold
From lining fabric:
