If the pattern has double contour the seam allowances are
included.

NOT included and need to be added when laying out and
cutting details.
Attention! First of all please print all the paper patterns and lay
them out at the width of fabric you plan to use (usually from
90 to 150 cm) to see how much fabric you will need. Don't
forget to count pair parts and symmetrical parts.
When sewing the garment, pay attention to notches, they
