1
Optional: Prewash the cotton fabric to preshrink. Dry flat and press if needed.
2
Prepare the XL+ pattern set. Pin or weight pattern pieces and align grainline with the fabric selvages.
3
Identify all pattern pieces: front bodice (with plackets), back bodice, two sleeves, cuffs, collar, and neck facing pieces.

4
Lay out pattern pieces on fabric according to size XL+. For 60-inch wide fabric and 2.5 yards, plan pieces to maximize grainline accuracy and minimize waste.
5
Cut out all fabric pieces: front bodice (two), back bodice (two), two sleeves, two cuffs, collar pieces, neck facing, and placket pieces.
6
Fuse lightweight interfacing to the indicated front facing pieces and collar according to the pattern instructions.

7
Shoulder Seams
With right sides together, sew the front and back shoulder seams using 5/8 inch seam allowance; press seams open.
8
Bodice Sides
With right sides together, sew the side seams from sleeve edge to hem; finish seams with an overlock or zigzag stitch.
9
Set in Sleeves
Ease the sleeve cap into the armhole and sew; ensure notches align; finish sleeve seams.
10
Collar and Neckline
Attach the collar or neck facing to the neckline as per pattern; press seams toward the facing for a clean finish.

11
Cuffs
Sew cuff pieces to the sleeve ends; if your design uses elastic in the cuffs, insert the cuff elastic to the specified length before closing the cuff.
12
Front Placket and Buttons
Finish the front placket and sew on six buttons at evenly spaced intervals; create corresponding buttonholes and test button operation.
13
Hemming and Final Press
Hemming: fold the bottom edge up twice (about 1/2 inch total), stitch close to the fold, and press. Do a final press of all seams for a crisp finish.
