If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm; hem allowance – 3 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

From main fabric:
- Back - 2 pieces
- Front - 2 pieces
- Front facing - 2 pieces
- Back neckline facing - 1 piece
- Collar stand - 2 pieces
- Belt – 1 piece on fold
From fusible interfacing:
- Back neckline facing – 1 piece
- Front facing – 2 pieces

- Belt – 1 piece on fold

Tip: you can use a ready-made belt.
