Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure you have traced your size onto pattern paper to preserve the original master sheet. Because this pattern includes a button-front design, ensure your sewing machine is calibrated for buttonholes before cutting your fashion fabric. For fabric selection, look for materials that press well, as the collar and button placket require precise pressing for a professional appearance. For ongoing care of the finished garment, follow the laundry instructions specific to the fabric you selected. Since this pattern is designed for wovens, use an iron-on fusible interfacing on the collar and front bands to maintain structure after repeated washings.
