Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, the patterns are without seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance for peplum lower edges – 2 cm; sleeve lower edge – 2 cm. 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). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Back – 2 pieces
- Back Peplum – 2 pieces
- Front – 2 pieces
- Front Peplum – 1 piece
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Tie – 2 pieces
