Back: One piece cut on the fold, gathered at the centre into a one-piece back yoke.

Finishing: Yoke, side and shoulder seams pressed and overlocked; hem overlocked, turned and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. A shaped double neck facing that is turned and topstitched, front plackets, bias-bound sleeve slits, cuffs and gathers into a yoke.
