In this session, I teach how to sew the bodice of the cowl neck bias draped dress. I demonstrate sewing the back darts, attaching the front and back bodice pieces at the neckline and armholes, and finally closing the side seams.
Lesson Steps:
- Sew the back darts and press
- Pin the front and back bodice pieces right sides together at the neckline
- Sew the neckline seam, using a loose tension for the stretchy bias front
- Pin and sew the armholes, starting from the shoulder points
- Notch the neckline and armholes if needed for a smoother finish
- Pull the bodice through the armhole opening to access the side seams
- Pin and sew the side seams, starting from the underarm, matching seams at intersections
- Trim and press the seams for a clean finish
