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 – 2.0 cm; hem allowance for the sleeve bottom – 1.2 cm. Attention! First, 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). Attention! Markings on the patterns are made on the right side.

- Back - 2 pieces
- Back side - 2 pieces
- Front - 2 pieces
- Front side - 2 pieces
- Lower side – 2 pieces
- Belt - 2 pieces
- Back neckline facing – 1 piece
