Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unfold the pattern pieces carefully and identify each component using the markings. It is recommended to trace the pattern pieces onto pattern paper for repeated use and to preserve the original pattern. Select fabric based on recommendations provided with the pattern. Pre-wash your fabric to prevent shrinkage after construction.
Compatibility: This pattern is designed for dressmaking and is compatible with a wide range of woven fabrics. Recommended fabrics include cotton, linen, Tencel, silk, and lightweight wools. Avoid very stretchy or knit fabrics.
Care: After sewing, care for the finished garment according to the fabric care instructions. Generally, wash in cold water and hang dry to maintain shape and color. Ironing should be done on the appropriate heat setting for the fabric used.
