Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seam allowances – 1 cm. Hem allowance – 1.5 cm. 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Upper back - 2 pieces
- Lower back - 2 pieces
- Upper front - 1 piece with a fold
- Lower front - 1 piece
- Front neckline facing – 1 piece
- Back neckline facing – 2 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
- Front neckline facing – 1 piece
- Back neckline facing – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

Fuse interfacing to the pieces.
On the back pieces, stitch the waist darts, press the dart allowances towards the center. Attach the lower back to the upper, press the allowances upwards and serge.
Serge the center back edges separately. Stitch the center back seam from the zipper mark downwards, press the allowances open. Insert the zipper.
On the front piece, form and secure the pleats, press the pleat allowances away from the center. Attach the lower front to the upper, press the allowances downwards and serge.
