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 back and front bottom edge – 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 pieces).

From main fabric:
- Back – 2 pieces
- Front – 1 piece
- Collar – 1 piece on fold

Sewing Instructions

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

On the back and front pieces, stitch the shoulder, waist, and bust darts. Press the depths of the waist and shoulder darts towards the center of the piece, and the bust darts upwards.
Stitch the center back seam, press allowances to the left side and overlock.
Stitch the shoulder seams, press allowances to the back and overlock.
Overlock the left side seams separately. Stitch the left side seam from the armhole edge to the first mark and from the second mark to the bottom. Press allowances open, insert the invisible zipper. Stitch the right side seam, press allowances to the back and overlock.
Fold the collar lengthwise in half, right sides together, and stitch the ends up to the mark "o". Clip the allowances at the mark, trim the corners, turn the collar right side out, straighten, and press. Stitch the outer layer of the collar to the neckline, clipping the allowance at the front corner; turn under the inner layer and stitch it in the ditch of the seam. Press the finished collar, positioning the stitching seam in the middle of the inner side.
Cut (if not ready-made) a bias binding 4 cm wide and a length equal to the armhole length + 5 cm. Fold the bias binding lengthwise in half, right side out, and press. Place the binding with the armhole edge right sides together and stitch. Clip the allowances. Fold the binding to the wrong side and topstitch along the fold to the main piece. Press the seam.
Overlock the bottom edge, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
Cut a rectangle from the main fabric for the tie loop, 10x5 cm. Fold the piece lengthwise in half, right sides together, and stitch the long edge. Turn the tie loop right side out, straighten, and press. Bring the two ends of the collar tie together, wrap them with the tie loop, adjust the length, and secure.
