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 seam allowances – 1 cm. Hem allowances for the bottom of the garment and sleeve hem – 1.5 cm. Attention! First, 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 – 1 piece (cut on fold)
Front – 2 pieces
Sleeve – 2 pieces
Center Front Facing – 2 pieces
Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece

From fusible interfacing:

Center Front Facing – 2 pieces
Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Fuse interfacing to the Center Front Facings and Back Neckline Facing.
Stitch the bust darts on the front, press the fullness upwards.
Form and secure the inverted pleat on the back.
Finish the inner edges of the Center Front Facings. Place the facings right sides together with the Fronts and stitch the front edge. Clip the seam allowances at the curves, turn the facings to the wrong side, and press. Press the collar along the marked roll line and secure it at the shoulder edge.
Stitch the side seams, press allowances towards the back and finish.
Finish the outer edge of the Back Neckline Facing. Place the Back Neckline Facing right sides together with the Back and stitch the neckline edge. The stitching should start and end strictly at the marked shoulder seam line.
Stitch the shoulder seams, sandwiching the front shoulder edge between the back shoulder edge and the facing. Press allowances and finish. Turn the neckline facing to the wrong side, smooth out, and press. Secure the upper edge of the back pleat to the neckline facing.
Stitch the sleeve seam, press allowances towards the back and finish. Set the sleeves into the armholes, matching notches. Press allowances and finish.
Finish the bottom edge of the garment and sleeves, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
Overlap the right front over the left, aligning the center lines, and topstitch along the front edge at 0.1 cm. Secure the left front to the right front in several places from the wrong side.
Sew the decorative buttons onto the back pleat and the right front.
