Shawl Collar Wrap Robe

Fabric & Materials

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS: silk fabrics made from natural or blended fibers. YOU ALSO NEED: thin fusible interfacing. IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE INCLUDED. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, THE PATTERNS ARE WITHOUT SEAM ALLOWANCES. SEAM ALLOWANCES: all seams 1 cm. Seam allowance along the upper edge of the pocket – 4 cm. Hem allowance for the garment bottom and sleeve hem – 3.0 cm. ATTENTION! FIRST, PRINT OUT THE PAPER PATTERNS AND LAY THEM OUT ON THE FABRIC WIDTH (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MATERIAL YOU WILL NEED (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical details).
