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; allowance along the center and lower edges of the Detachable Piece Front – 2.0 cm; dress hem allowance – 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 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! Attention! Markings on the patterns are made on the right side.

From main fabric:
- Back – 2 pieces
- Upper Front – 1 piece
- Lower Front – 1 piece
- Detachable Piece Front – 1 piece
- Front Facing – 1 piece
