Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure you have measured your body dimensions accurately against the sizing guide included in the pattern envelope. For the best results, wash and press your fabric prior to cutting to prevent future shrinkage. When choosing thread, opt for a color-matched polyester-blend for durability, especially for the zipper fly and button closure areas. Once finished, garments created from this pattern should be dry-cleaned or hand-washed depending on the fabric choice to maintain the structure of the shoulder pads and the crispness of the fringe trim. Store the pattern pieces in a cool, dry place and flatten any folded edges with a dry iron on a low setting before use to ensure accurate tracing.
