Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure you have measured yourself carefully against the size chart for D5 (4-12) to select the correct cutting lines. It is recommended to iron the pattern tissue on a low, dry setting to remove creases before pinning it to your fabric. Always read through the provided English instructions entirely before cutting your fabric. When caring for your finished garments, follow the specific care instructions associated with the fabric type you chose to purchase, as the pattern itself serves only as the structure for the construction.
