Pattern Assembly
-
Sew the Hood
Sew the hood section of piece (1) using a ¼” seam allowance. Leave the open back area unsewn — you’ll hem this later. -
Attach the Waistline
With right sides facing, align and pin the center waistline of piece (1) to piece (2). Pin the ends of the waistline of (1) approximately 1″ away from the back seam of piece (2), leaving a small gap that will be hemmed in a later step. -
Sew the Skirt Back Seam
Using a serger or straight stitch, sew the back seam of piece (2) with a ¼” seam allowance. -
Hem the Open Back Edges
Hem the raw open-back edges with a ½” hem using a zigzag, coverstitch, or your preferred stretch stitch.
✂️ Tip: For the upper back skirt and plunging back with the gap, reduce the hem to ¼” to avoid bulk. (I found that hemming all layers at the back seam made it too thick, so I adjusted the construction for a smoother finish.) -
Hem the Bottom Edge
Using a stretch stitch, hem the bottom raw edge of the dress with a ½” hem.
