In this lesson, I demonstrated how to attach the draped bodice and skirt together. I pinned the bodice onto the dress form, closed the darts, and matched the waistlines before attaching the skirt section.

I showed the steps to properly attach the draped bodice and skirt pieces together, ensuring the darts are closed and the waistlines are matched. This creates a cohesive dress with princess seam lines flowing from bodice to skirt.

Lesson Steps:

• Pin the bodice onto the dress form, closing darts at sides, shoulders, center back and front
• Close all darts on the bodice pieces
• Match the waistline of the bodice to the skirt pieces
• Attach the bodice front to skirt front at waistline seam
• Attach the bodice back to skirt back at waistline seam
• Pin the shoulder seams together
• Pin the side seams together, following the adjusted red line markings
• Ensure the princess seam lines flow smoothly from bodice to skirt
• Make any final adjustments to the fit as needed
