🧵 Assembly (Shortened Instructions)
Attach front to back at side seams using a ¼” serger stitch. Attach bust panels to the front top, easing the center curve as you sew. Close the center back seam. Hem the bottom edge using a ½” stretch hem. Cut binding/stretch string strips to size and fold lengthwise. Attach to the top edge, stretching slightly to fit and leaving overhang at the bust. Fold over and stitch down to finish. Create the center bust channel and leave an opening. Prepare the drawstring using the same stretch string construction method and thread through the casing, adjusting gathers evenly. Full step-by-step instructions are included in the PDF.
