In this session, I demonstrated how to sew and fit a dress cover using fleece interfacing.

I attached the front princess seams, sewed the shoulders and side seams, and made adjustments to achieve a skin-tight fit on the dress form. I also discussed the importance of double-checking notches and cleaning up seam allowances.

Lesson Steps:

• Attach fleece interfacing to the dress pieces for structure
• Sew the front princess seams, matching notches carefully
• Pin and sew the center front pieces, matching notches
• Sew the shoulder seams, matching seams
• Sew the side seams, matching notches at bust, waist, and hip
• Clean up seam allowances and trim excess interfacing
• Transfer the sewn cover to the dress form
• Make adjustments for a skin-tight fit:
  • Take in the center front
  • Add small darts at the neck
  • Trim excess fabric at shoulders and side seams
• Prepare for the next step of binding the neckline and armholes
