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 for the blouse bottom – 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 (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

- Front - 2 pieces
- Front facing — 2 pieces

Fuse interfacing to the front facings, cuffs, and back neckline facing.
Fold the belt in half lengthwise and stitch two long sides and one short side. Turn the belt right side out and press.
Stitch darts on the front, press allowances upwards.
Stitch shoulder and side seams, inserting the belt, press allowances towards the back and serge.
Stitch shoulder seams of the front facing and neckline facing. Press allowances open. Serge the outer edge. Place the front facings onto the front and stitch along the front edges and neckline.
Make a slit on the sleeve along the marked line. Cut a bias strip from the main fabric 4 cm wide and a length equal to twice the slit length + 4 cm. Fold the bias strip in half lengthwise and press. Press outer allowances towards the center. Finish the sleeve slit with the bias strip.
Stitch the sleeve seam. Press allowance towards the back and serge. Create a box pleat at the sleeve cap.
Set sleeves into armholes, press allowances and serge.

At the mark, clip the allowances, turn the cuff right side out and press. Attach the outer side of the cuff to the bottom of the sleeve. Fold under the inner side of the cuff and topstitch into the attachment seam.
