Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: Hem allowance – 2 cm; other seams – 1 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:

Center back - 2 pieces
Side back - 2 pieces
Center front - 2 pieces
Side front - 2 pieces
Collar stand – 2 pieces
Front facing – 2 pieces
Back neckline facing - 1 piece

From lining fabric:

Center back - 2 pieces
Side back - 2 pieces

Attention! Center back lining pieces are cut by subtracting the width of the back neckline facing.

Stitch the front princess seams, press allowances towards the center.
Stitch the side and shoulder seams, press allowances open.
Place collar stand pieces right sides together and stitch along the ends and outer edge. Trim allowances at corners, clip at the mark. Turn collar stand right side out, shape, and press. Attach collar stand to the neckline, clipping front allowances at corners.
