4. Attach the FLOUNCE to the center edge of the right FRONT PANEL as follows: align the marks on the FLOUNCE and the center edge of the FRONT PANEL. Measure 1.5 cm up from the bottom edge of the FRONT PANEL and align the bottom corner of the FLOUNCE with this point. Even out the edges and attach the FLOUNCE.
