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 seams 1 cm. Hem allowance – 2 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical details).

From main fabric:
- Back - 2 pieces
- 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
