Troubleshooting
Pattern pieces are difficult to identify.
Refer to the instruction sheet's diagram which labels each pattern piece with corresponding numbers and letters. Ensure the tissue paper is unfolded carefully.
Garment does not fit correctly.
Double-check the sizing information on the packaging against your body measurements. Consider making a muslin (test garment) first to check the fit before cutting into your final fabric.
Instructions are unclear for a specific step.
Review the accompanying illustrations carefully. Consult online sewing resources or forums for clarification on specific techniques if needed.

Lay out your chosen fabric according to the layout diagrams provided in the instructions, paying attention to grainlines and fabric direction. Pin the pattern pieces securely to the fabric, ensuring they do not shift.
