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 the dress bottom edge – 3.0 cm, hem allowance for the sleeve bottom edge – 2 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).

  • From main fabric:
    • Back – 2 pieces
    • Front - 1 piece on fold
    • Yoke – 1 piece on fold
    • Back neckline facing - 2 pieces
    • Front neckline facing - 1 piece
    • Sleeve – 2 pieces
    • Flap – 2 pieces
  • From fusible interfacing:
    • Back neckline facing - 2 pieces
    • Front neckline facing - 1 piece
    • Flap – 2 pieces
