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: all seams 1 cm; hem allowance – 1.2 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). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Attention! Inscriptions on the patterns are on the right side!

From main fabric:
- Upper back - 2 pieces
- Back insert - 2 pieces
- Lower back - 2 pieces
- Upper front - 1 piece
- Front insert - 1 piece
- Lower front - 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

On the upper back parts, create and secure the pleats, with depths directed towards the side seam. Stitch the back insert to the upper back, press seam allowances towards the insert and overlock. Stitch the lower back to the insert, press seam allowances towards the insert and overlock.
Overlock the center back seams separately, stitch them from the mark downwards, press seam allowances open. Insert the zipper.
Create and secure the pleats on the upper front (two on the right side, three on the left side), with depths directed towards the side seams.
