The first few steps for the grown-on facing are the same as the separate pattern piece:- Draw the neckline on the Bodice Block.
- Trace the block and transfer the design line.
- Add the button extension width* to the CF – shown in the image by the dashed red line.
* This will depend on the width of your button. I am making the extension 0.5-inches, as that is the diameter of the button.

- Step A: Draw the facing; the width is 2-inches at the shoulder and 3-inches at the CF. These widths are measured at the seam line.
- Step B; Trace the facing from Step A, flip it over and add the facing shape to the Bodice Front.
