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 (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

From main fabric:
- Center back – 1 piece on fold
- Side back – 2 pieces
- Center front – 2 pieces
- Side front – 2 pieces
- Collar – 4 pieces
- Front facing – 2 pieces
- Back neckline facing – 1 piece
From fusible interfacing:
- Collar – 2 pieces
- Front facing – 2 pieces
- Back neckline facing – 1 piece
