Pattern Assembly 

1. Add optional ruching between the bust line and at the booty. I prefer using 1/8” elastic, 1/4” elastic works just as well.
2. With right sides of fabric facing together sew front (1) and back (2) sides together using a 1/4” serger stitch. You can also use a straight stitch.
3. Hem all raw edges of fabric with a 1/2” hem. Using a cover stitch, zigzag or any stretch stitch
4. Fold in the 4 string straps (3) of fabric measuring 1 3/8″ x 24″. Finish the stitch using a cover stitch, zigzag stitch, or any stretch stitch. Use a binding foot if you have one (watch binding video https://youtu.be/VhzPHJw7f1A) *Be creative with the straps. You could use ribbon, cord, chain…..*
5. Attach two of the strings (3) you created in step 4. to create the back ties. Use a straight stitch to secure the strings sewing forward and backwards to secure with right sides together.
6. Fold in the unfinished fabric ends of (1) & (3) inside the dress. Sew down the pieces of (1) & (3) using a straight stitch
7. Attach the last two strings you made in step 4. for neck tie strings (3) with a straight stitch at the square corners of the front top of dress (1) Hide the strings (3) small ends on the inside of the dress using a straight stitch sewing forward and backwards to secure the stitch.
8. Tie the ends of the strings on both sides. Two neck strings and two back stings. Larger sizes will require longer string to tie around the back.
