Place the outer and lining pieces right sides together and stitch the upper back edge, the armhole edges, the center edges and the front neckline edge. Trim seam allowances at corners, clip curves, turn right side out, and press.
Along the lower edge of the Upper Front, between the marks, make a basting stitch with loosened upper thread and gather.
Stitch the right side seam of the Lower Front and Lower Back. Overlock and press seam allowances open. Stitch the upper and lower parts of the top. Overlock and press seam allowance downwards. Topstitch 0.5 cm from the seam.
Overlock the left side seam allowances separately. Attach the separable zipper to the left side seams.
Overlock the hem allowance, fold to the wrong side, and topstitch.
Work buttonholes and sew buttons onto the back neckline.
