In this session, I taught how to attach the skirt to the bodice of the Debbie dress. I demonstrated easing in the excess fabric from the skirt waistline to match the bodice waistline and attaching an invisible zipper to the skirt.

Lesson Steps:

• Measure the skirt waistline and bodice waistline to check if they match
• If the skirt waistline is larger, ease in the excess fabric into the side seams and center back
• Alternatively, gather the excess fabric slightly at the front and back for a gathered waist look
• Match the side seams of the skirt and bodice, pin in place
• Sew the skirt to the bodice at the waistline, easing in any excess fabric
• Attach an invisible zipper to the center back of the skirt
• Ease in any remaining excess fabric from the skirt waistline into the bodice
• Hand-baste or finish the zipper area as desired
