Stitch from the FRONT PANEL side upwards to the NOTCH that marks the end of the COLLAR insertion. Stitch the bottom edges of the underlaps to the FRONT PANEL strictly along the marked hemline. Trim the seams of the upper and lower front opening corners. Topstitch the seam allowance of the front opening: in the fastener area – to the underlap, in the lapel area – to the FRONT PANEL. Position the stitching 0.2 cm from the seam. Turn the front openings right side out, smooth the seams.
