Cutting:
Seam allowances are included - 1cm wide or as per marking clips!
Cut the pattern pieces out of your outer fabric and interlining. Lay the fabric with the right side facing up. Lay the selvedges parallel to the middle so that you can lay the back piece, collar stand, under and upper collar on the fold. The pattern pieces should all be laid with the writing facing up. Always align the grain arrow on all pieces in the same direction and parallel to the selvedge of the fabric. Transfer all notches from the pattern by making a 3mm long cut with scissors or chalk and mark the ends of the darts. Notch the seam allowance on the fold of the fabric because this is always a middle. Markings define the positions of dart ends, pocket positions, and much more. Transfer these either with chalk or pins. It is best to cut all outer fabric pieces that are to be completely covered with interlining roughly first. After you have secured the interlining, cut it out precisely. There is also a video here about gluing and securing pattern pieces.

Sewing instructions:
Seam allowances are included - 1cm wide or as marked
To sew this dress you will need a sewing machine and an overlock sewing machine, or alternatively the zigzag stitch on your sewing machine to neaten the cut edges.
Be sure to use a jersey needle and use a stretch stitch for the jersey sleeve, i.e. if you are sewing with a home sewing machine, you should use either a zigzag stitch or the three-part stretch stitch and then finish all seam allowances again with a zigzag stitch or another similar stitch to prevent them from fraying. In addition to the description, the colored lines in the pictures show you where to sew a seam or glue something.
When sewing, pay attention to the seam allowance included in the pattern. Seam allowances that are not specifically marked are 1cm wide!
Have fun sewing!
You start by finishing the waist seams and the straight edge of the pocket bags.
Then sew all the top pieces right sides together to the corresponding bottom pieces, iron the seam allowances apart and neaten the lengthwise seams.
Now the front side piece is sewn right sides together to the front piece and the back side piece is sewn to the back piece. The seam allowance is ironed open.
Now sew all 4 pocket bags right sides together to the side seams with 1cm gaps, but be careful: only from notch to notch of the pocket opening. On the back part, the seam is ironed open, on the front part, the seam is ironed into the pocket bag and stitched flat on the pocket bag within the pocket opening, close to the edge.
Then place the front side seam right sides together on the back side seam and close it from the hem to the lower pocket opening, then from the upper pocket opening to the armhole. The seam allowance is ironed apart, ironing the two pocket bags to the front.
Now close the pocket bags and neaten the seam allowance. You can fix the pocket bag at the top to the seam allowance with 2-3 stitches.
You neaten the hem, iron it 2cm upwards and stitch it down.
Next, we move on to the shoulder: neaten the front and back shoulder seams, then close the front and back shoulders right sides together and iron the seam allowance apart.
Now the front and back neck facings are sewn together at the shoulder, right sides together, the seam allowance is ironed apart and the outer edge is neatened.
Sew the facing right sides together into the neck hole. The seam allowance is clipped in place.
The seam allowance is stitched flat on the facing. In the shadow of the shoulder seam, you fix the facing with 3-4 stitches so that it doesn't crawl out.
Let's go to the sleeve:
You neaten the side seams of the upper and lower sleeve parts. You pin the folds and fix them with a stitch.
In the upper part of the sleeve, you pull so-called edging threads into the lower edge. They are an aid to obtaining an even gather. To do this, select the largest stitch setting on your sewing machine. You must not lock at the beginning and end of the auxiliary seams, but leave about 10cm of thread at each end. You sew 2 edging seams at a distance of about 1cm, namely at 0.5cm and 1.5cm from the cut edge, so that the later attachment seam runs exactly between the two auxiliary seams.
Now carefully pull the two bottom threads on one side and push the fabric together until the section is about 5cm longer than the lower sleeve. You can now distribute the gathers evenly.
Before you sew the upper part of the sleeve to the lower part of the sleeve, right sides together, insert a jersey needle. The jersey sleeve is stretched to the outer fabric sleeve so that the seam is not too tight later. After sewing, remove the stitching threads by pulling out the bobbin thread.
Finally, the seam allowance is neatened together and ironed down.
The side seam of the sleeve is closed right sides together and the seam allowance is ironed open.
Now you can neaten the sleeve hem, iron it 2cm upwards and topstitch it.
Finale! All you have to do is sew the sleeves right sides together into the armholes. Pay attention to the notches so that there is no confusion. The seam allowance is neatened together and ironed into the sleeve.
