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).

- Overlock the outer edge of the Back Neckline Facing. Place the facing on the Back and stitch the neckline edge. The stitching should start and end strictly at the marked shoulder seam line. Clip allowances at curves.
