Stitch the center back seam from the top to the zipper mark and from the zipper mark to the bottom. Press seams open. Insert the concealed zipper.
Form a pleat on the upper front. Secure the base of the pleat with a machine stitch for 2-3 cm. Direct the depth downwards and secure it to the lower and center edges.

Stitch and press open the shoulder edges of the back neckline facing and front facings. Place the front facings and facing with the garment right sides together, and stitch the neckline and front edges strictly to the upper mark. Clip the allowance at the mark.
