Troubleshooting
Pattern tissue is tearing during removal
Use a tracing wheel and dressmaker's carbon paper to transfer markings if you are worried about damaging the original tissue pieces.
Difficulty achieving a proper fit
Check your body measurements against the back of the envelope and consider performing a muslin fitting first to make necessary adjustments before cutting final fabric.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a clear, flat surface for cutting your fabric. It is recommended to iron the pattern tissue on a low, dry setting to remove creases before pinning it to your fabric. For compatibility, this pattern works well with a variety of medium-weight costume fabrics, such as cotton blends, satins, or polyester taffetas. Always verify your specific size from the K5 range against the body measurements provided on the pattern envelope rather than ready-to-wear clothing sizes. To preserve the pattern for future use, store the tissue pieces in a sealable plastic bag and avoid folding them too tightly.
