An all-in-one facing provides a clean and supportive edge finish for a sleeveless dress or blouse. Attaching the facing is different from sewing a neckline or armhole facing, though. Follow the techniques shown to install an all-in-one facing in a garment with a front or back opening (such as a button-front blouse, or a dress with a center-back zipper) or to install in a garment that goes on over the head, like a tank-style top.

To draft the patterns, you need to take two measurements: your waist circumference and the desired skirt length. Because there are only six steps to create the pattern, as you do this more, you may find that it is easier to draw cutting lines on the fabric rather than drafting a pattern.
