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
