A plank is a strip of fabric designed to process the edges of a fastener or cut, or to decorate a finished product.
As a rule, a figured plank acts as a decorative element. It is cut out separately as an independent part and then tuned to the product. Regardless of whether the trim strip is provided for in the pattern or not, you can always cut it yourself or completely abandon such decor.

Cut out the details of the curly strip and duplicate them with a non-woven backing.
Step 2
Place the curly strips in front of the curly stripe of the back with the front side to the front side, grind the shoulder sections (reference mark 4). Iron the seam allowances. On the duplicated and not duplicated laying of the curved neck strips, perform shoulder seams (control mark 6). Iron the seam allowances.

Step 3. Plank with edges
The allowances along the inner and outer cuts of the front and back planks should be cut to a width of 7 mm and ironed to the wrong side, to do this, cut the allowances of the inner cuts in the corners (arrow). Under the ironed sections of the plank, pin the edging so that the thickened part of the edging protrudes. At the corners on the flat part of the edging, lay along a small fold. Edge to the edges.
Step 4
Pin the bar to the front and back coquets with the wrong side to the front side, aligning the lower edges of the bar with the seams of the coquette stitches, and the side edges with the seams of the sleeves. Stitch the bar along the outer and inner edges to the edge, using the foot of the sewing machine to sew the zippers and hem.
