-Join the two pieces of 75x44 cm by the short side and sew the 2cm lace ribbon. (First pic)

-Now, join the 75x48 pieces by the short side, sew only 13 cm from one side first, then join this with the ribbon of the previous piece.

-Place the elastic ribbon on the waist and sew the other side at 13 cm equally.

- Make a hem in all the free edges of the cloth.

-Sew the 1.5cm lace ribbon on the outside of the cloth, distributed in five parts with approx. 5cm of separation.

-Sew the facing on the inside of the blouse and between these two put the straps. (Picture 1,2,3)
