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 for the bottom of the garment – 4 cm, hem allowance for the sleeve bottom - 2.0 cm. Attention! First of all, 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical details).

From main fabric:

Back – 2 pieces
Front – 2 pieces
Collar stand – 2 pieces
Back neckline facing – 1 piece
Front facing – 2 pieces
Belt – 1 piece

From fusible interlining:

Front facing — 2 pieces
Collar stand – 1 piece
Back neckline facing — 1 piece
