Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure you have measured the intended wearer and cross-referenced their measurements with the Size A chart (sizes 7-14). To prepare, press all pattern pieces flat to remove creases. When cutting, ensure the grainline is perfectly aligned with the fabric weave to prevent twisting in the finished shirt or dress. For care, always pre-wash and dry your fabric before sewing to avoid shrinkage later. Once constructed, wash the finished items on a gentle cycle and press with a warm iron to maintain the crisp look of the collar and button plackets.
