Place the COLLAR STAND pieces right sides together, insert the prepared COLLAR between them, align the NOTCHES, and stitch, simultaneously stitching the ends of the COLLAR STAND. Start and end the stitching precisely at the marked seam line for attaching the COLLAR STAND. Turn the prepared COLLAR right side out and press.

Turn the raw edge of the TRIM STRIP inwards, place the slightly gathered FLOUNCE underneath it, and topstitch onto the FRONT PANEL. Secure the FLOUNCE to the FRONT PANEL along the neckline and shoulder seam.
7. Stitch the shoulder seams, press the SEAM ALLOWANCES towards the BACK PANEL and serge.
