IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before cutting your fabric, print and lay out the paper patterns according to your fabric width (90–150 cm) to determine yardage. Remember to account for paired and symmetrical pieces. When sewing, pay close attention to notches—they must align for accurate assembly of the ruffles, collar, and sleeve cuffs.
