Each of the patterns include: 1) Step-by-step illustrated instructions, 2) Full size patterns, 3) Glossary of Millinery terms and techniques, 4) Lists of required notions and supplies, and 5) Millinery supply sources.

D.L. Designs patterns are drawn up in the style of professional patterns - with no seam allowances added. You must add them. Each piece has specific notes as to where seam allowances are to be added.
